Mood:  incredulous

looks like walden o'dell will get his wish, with his diebold machines delivering the ohio votes to the president. won't matter much how close things might actually end up. apparently, kerry is already conceding (set to speak in less than an hour, as i write this)

of course, it's a little disturbing how split the country is as far as the popular vote goes. i'd prefer someone to win by a greater margin (maybe, at least, with some of that automatic run off voting stuff, ranking the candidates and whatnot)

and, eleven states banned gay marriage, florida screwed with abortion rights...

and, i really don't feel like getting into it, going over the results of the election. i could get into the lack of any significant update to the electoral college since 1911. i could get into... screw it. what i need to get into is costs for moving to canada or france or--i don't know--anywhere-but-here

anyone-but-bush didn't win, so anywhere-but-here might get a big boost now. or, maybe we can all get involved with those folks who throw out that proposal to get california to secede from the united states and support them a whole lot. at least we get some stem cell research, which might help some of us live longer, which means larger population and, maybe, just maybe, we can get the electoral college to reflect that population change...

but, let's talk about veronica mars. some great moments in last night's episode. the revelation about the shoes was a great ending, veronica finding the safe combination changed was great, and sure enough, we've got reason to actually feel for logan--i mean, verbal abuse is one thing, but lashing with a belt? this is my kind of television. a big part of the backstory hinges on drug induced rape, and now we've got serious parental abuse that probably won't be stopped anytime soon, plus kyle secor who would make my top ten guy list if i were to make one, not to mention kirsten bell, veronica herself, is a great visual, and a strong lead actress for this show

and after watching my tape of the last hour and a half of bravo's 100 scariest movie moments, i was actually a little jumpy, though that might have had to do with the earlier election results

now, let's cut today's entry short. thing is, when do the protests start? or did everyone get over that when it turned out bush was never going to change a thing because of them? when does the civil war begin?

watchlist for tonight:

• lost
• ghost hunters
• south park
• the daily show
