Quick observation: apparently, the number of posts in a week is directly proportional to the measure of how well that week is going. Or how bored I am that week. It is also inversely proportional to the gravity of the particular sicknesses of that week.
(Ten posts last week, though? Goes to show how much I do talk L's ear off when he is home--that was all pent up speech. The kid will listen to me only so much, before saying, "Stop using so much words." It would be funny if it weren't true.)

This is a bit of a cop-out POW, because what I am really thinking about, tonight--while related to the election and results of last night--is something personal (well, when is not?!) that I've struggled with a long time, and I have finally managed to settle on a resolution for it, which nonetheless is still hard for me to articulate in a way that makes sense to anyone. Hell, I'm not sure if it ever made total sense to me, but I think--no, I know--that it does now. It's something that makes me feel rather vulnerable, so while I assure I am not being coy--coyness being fourth or fifth in the list of things I hate to think of myself being (like 'nice' or '[falsely] modest, etc.), I am hesitant about whether or not I want to bare that much of what goes on in my head. Sometimes a little holding back is good for the soul.

Okay, so the comic geek in me and that it is November 5th means I can't pass up an opportunity to post this. I realize that Alan Moore purists (and the man himself) disown the movie, but like I care--I can see past the flaws of the movie, as compared to the book, just as I can for Ms. Portman's accent at times. Similarly, the movie did some things far better than the book could (different medium and all) and Portman's Evey had far more interesting insight into certain things than her paper version did.

Update: Oh, I could not pass this up. Today is apparently also the first time Susan B. Anthony tried to vote in 1872 and I suppose marks the first official (illegal?!) action on behalf of the suffrage movement. Which can only mean one song:
Sister Suffragette - Mary Poppins Soundtrack
(I think you can guess what my favorite amusing line is in this one. Ha ha.)
