well, it's 4am on election day here in california. why am i awake? because i have to get all the way across town on the very first bus that runs in the morning so that i can get out there for 5am activities near the zoo. it's going to be a long day of walking precincts all day out on the westside of town, and then running back for some more stuff on my side of town later this afternoon, and then a late-night election-night party down in the mission until whenever the lights go down there (probably 11pm or so). maybe then i can sleep once again...

oh, be sure you cast your vote on this ominous-sounding day of 6/6/6. if you don't, the omen will come true!
