Election election election

So, life goes on. I'm working at the university and I am happy with it. It's a good job, pays pretty OK, the people here are great ... at my other jobs I've had to deal with racist, homofobic comments (not directed at me, but bothering me), and there is nothing like that here.

I'm watching "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart a lot. He is my new God. He's very funny and good at pinpointing exactly where the absurdity in American politics lies, or politics in general I should say. Although right now it's mostly about the American of course. I've heard something about there being some sort of election soon ...? If you don't have Comedy Central, you can watch the episodes for free on their website.

When it comes to the election, I must say I've been extra interested this year. Maybe it's because it feels like the good guy actually has a chance this time. I may have thought that Kerry had a chance four years ago, which he hadn't, so maybe it's just me kidding myself. On election night (which is actually night here, not evening) I'll be glued to the TV, watching our Swedish channels' coverage (two different Swedish channels are covering it, which they don't do with any other foreign elections to my knowledge) and BBC World, which is a channel I'm happy is included in our basic cable. Me and the mother are planning to sit through as much as we can, even if the results probably won't be clear until 8 a.m. our time. If it doesn't flip out like in 2000. The plan is to have an American theme, so I'll be going to this store that imports American brands which are not that common in the common food stores here. Maybe some mac and cheese? I dunno, but I'll say this: I'm happy that I get to decide my working hours myself, so that I can get at least some sleep after the whole thing.

Hope you're all going to vote - it's annoying as hell that I can't, haha.

Peace out.
