Voted

Did the civic duty today.

Got in line for the early voting. Felt like I was at Disneyland for 2 hours and when I got to the front of the line the ride broke down.

Except apparently I registered to vote a day after the deadline for early voting.

Yeah.

Thankfully, they had an option for you to still cast your vote that day.

2 hours turned into 3.

But hey, I voted, and that's what counts...right?

AND I got the sticker. Huzzah!

Alright, let's get this going!

Yes, I am doing NaBloPoMo. Hoorah!

Planned to post about all kinds of wonderfulness that happened over the last few weeks, but the news items today are as follows:

I really hate being sick.

Slept ten hours, woke up with nasal congestion, headache and a rather unforgiving sore throat that is making life difficult. This started up last night, and I am not at all sad I set up someone to work for me this morning. Working while feeling like this would majorly suck.

Now, if only I could get someone to cover for me at the afternoon job...maybe a miracle will happen and I will feel better in a couple of hours.

blah.

Thoughts at Midnight.

The inability to fall asleep before midnight is really annoying.

I read somewhere that the average person falls asleep withing 7 minutes. I think I'd pay a great deal of money to somehow fall asleep that quickly without resorting to drugs.

I really do like sleep. Really. I do. I just have severe difficulties falling into it.

Over The Rainbow is now stuck in my head for whatever random reason.

I did something brave today. I am proud of myself. You know that quote 'All you need is 20 seconds of insane courage and I promise you something great will come of it' from We Bought A Zoo. Yeah, that was me today. Nope, you don't get to know.

I really want to fall asleep.

I am grateful to have the internet back in my life. It really is a wonderful thing.

But still, I want to fall asleep.

Fall

Here I shall tantalize your eyes with a few of the sights I have seen over the last few weeks.

Behold:

So...yeah. It's Fall. And it's pretty.

Unfortunately, I do not like the thing that comes AFTER Fall. Especially where this awful cold white stuff falls is rather unfortunate frequency and then melts a little but not all the way and then becomes ice which is even more of a non-liked thing when it's not being put into a drink or being skated on after being flattened by oh so cool Zamboni's. But I digress.

It's Fall. The leaves are falling and twirling around in lovely dances with the wind. And I like it.

182nd Semi-Annual Conference

Told ya I was going to be posting. And with PICTURES!

So, if you are friends on Facebook with me, you would know that I was a little obsessed with conference this weekend. Cause I went to the Saturday sessions. The above picture was my view of the first session. And....

This was my view of the second session. We had tickets for both. Well actually, I got tickets for the afternoon, and our friends had two extra tickets for the morning session. So it worked out rather nicely to stay for the whole day! :)

It was AMAZING as usual. Extra amazing cause we were there for the announcement of the change in age requirements for outgoing missionaries. I find it an enormous benefit as all singles wards will soon be bereft of 18 year old guys. All guys in singles wards will now (potentially) be fair game. Not that I am going for an 18 year old, or a 20 year old, but still, now there will be less wondering whether the guy is fair game or not for all the lovely young ladies in the wards.

Super excited for Tucson. Regardless of where my college loyalties lie, it is way awesome that Arizona will have 6 temples! I am calling the next one for Flagstaff. It would make sense to me to put one there. But I am no prophet...or prophetess.

LOVED the talks. So many amazing ones. Saturday was my favorite overall, but Sunday afternoon was rather awesome. Elder Holland was of course incredible. And I need to take Elder Bednar's talk with a glass of hot cocoa and really read it. Same for Elder Hale's I think. Did you notice he was standing for his talk? So glad to see he is doing so much better. He looked a great deal like his old self than he had, but he was still obviously frail.

So what did you like about it?

Internetting...

The great return to blogging shall commence...now!! :)

In other words, I have internets at home now. And the world rejoiced.

Don't worry. Lots of pictures, stories, etc's to share.

Fit those glasses...seriously...

Dear Hollywood/TV Networks/Peoples who have anything to do with publishing professional videos for profit:

When putting glasses on a star, you may want to make sure that the glasses actually FIT. Cause about 50% of the time, they don't. The temples are too short, they are slightly crooked (and they didn't just get involved in something crazy like a superhero style disaster). About 90% of the time, it's the temples. They should curve right on the earlobe, not in FRONT of the ear.

It's amazing, 2 years ago I couldn't have cared less about glasses fitting stars, let alone anyone besides myself. Well, it bugs me now! Get an optician, or send your costumers to optician school so they really truly know how to fit them to your cast.

End of bitter diatribe. Back to your regular programming! :D
