Don't get excited.  This post is not really about tomfoolery in my voting booth.  In fact, I voted with an absentee ballot.  Truth be told, this post will probably have nothing to do with voting.  I only named it that because the other night as I was watching the news one of the newscasters said something to the effect of, "when we return, our report on the trickery at the polls," and it just made me laugh and think, sounds like the title of a blog entry. So there you have it.

No real reason for my absence in blogging.  Just haven't had much to report on.  Let's see ... follow up from the last entry: the chipmunk was never to be seen again, so I think it quickly scurried back outside while my dad frantically searched for it, and King Tut died a mere two weeks after he moved in to his luxury home (aka cool flower vase with marbles and fake sea weed).  Dang.  One of these days I'll be off to get a new fish again.

I saw the movie The Prestige last weekend and must say that I highly recommend it.  While it was a bit dark and even a bit morbid, it was moreso intriguing and mysterious.  Well worth the time and money.  I'll definitely see it again when it comes out on video because it's one of those that you keep thinking about for a day or so afterwards and start really putting the pieces of the puzzle together.  Do you know what I mean?  I think you do ...  And before I leave this subject, I'd like to add that Christian Bale is still the dreamboat that he was in Newsies and Little Women. 

Well, this is kind of a short one, but give me a break!  I'm easing back into this blogging thing! 

Okay, wait.  I do want to say something about the polls.  Or actually, about the outcome.  I am very happy because all of the issues came out the way I wanted them to!  No more smoking in Ohio! (Well, not indoors anyway!) No gambling! (Thank goodness!) The Bay levy passed!  The one about preserving our parks and artsy stuff passed!  The other one that I wanted to pass passed!  Um yeah, that's all I got.
