You Can Vote However You Like

This is actually quite cool. But still frustrated that they are limiting my choices to only two. Kept waiting for them to say some think about Paul or Nader or Barr.

Last week in bullets

Posted by Blake | Posted in Family, My So Called Life | Posted on 03-11-2008

Here is a recap of last week in bullets:

  • All three kids had croup. I don’t know why it’s called the croup. But whatever you call it, it usually means not a lot of sleep for the parents.
  • Halloween happened. For the night we went to the courthouse lawn where there were lots and lots of booths and games set up for the kids to play and get candy. I was impressed. The candy wasn’t excellent, but it was a great community event.
  • There was a lady there who was at least 11 months pregnant there who had on a halter top and then painted her belly to look like a HUGE jack-o-lantern. It was impressive and gross at the same time.
  • Afterward we went to UM to the physics department. They had Spooky Demonstrations. And I got to dip my hand in liquid nitrogen. Interesting. And we ate ice cream made with liquid nitrogen.
  • Went to Barnes & Noble with Ella. She played with the trainset while I read books on photography. It was good to be alone with her for a while. Watching her play and interact with other kids was nice.
  • I think we had our biggest Sunday yet at The Orchard yesterday. 180 folks and then a handful of kids.

Domino’s Election Results

Posted by Blake | Posted in Stuff | Posted on 02-11-2008

The other night I ordered pizza online at Domino’s. I love it that way. Order online, pay for it, and then either have it delivered or pick it up quickly. So smart and sweet. There’s even a status bar to show you the progress of preparing it, cooking it, and boxing it up.

But last night when I placed my order they had some extra questions for me. And from those questions they gave me their Saturday results on how people were answering election based questions. So as you can see below, if Tuesday’s presidential election was decided by people ordering pizza online from Domino’s on Saturday, November 1…Barak Obama would have a substantial victory.

We’ll see…

[also, is anyone surprised to see the Philly Cheese Steak leading the country too?]
