That time of the...half decade?
Went out and got parts for a new PC. Actually, me and my friend built two identical PCs, the idea in that if we wanted to individually upgrade in the future, the upgrader would give his old parts (RAM or VGA) to the non-upgrader, who can then SLI or expand his RAM with identical parts to the original.
Also, watched Wreck It Ralph. Entertaining, though the short animation preceding it was more so, I thought, what with the black and white and paper airplanes and such.
Discovered the website theCHIVE, though I am not sure how to pronounce it. Perfect for amusing myself or wasting a bit of time.

Slow week, did pointless DIY
So...ain't done shit this week, really.
Thanksgiving par-tay was rather underwhelming this year. Bright spot? SuburbanDweller came down from the Bay. However, others decided to go to Vegas and thus participation was at an all time low.
So...after being very bored this week, I decided I would do a DIY project.
Materials purchased:
1 Sawhorse
32BF Plywood
5BF Select Pine boards
1 pint Ebony wood stain
1 pint American Walnut wood stain
1 pint Polyurthane
1 pack foam brushes
1 2in foam chair pad
2sq. yds. black marine vinyl
Assorted misc. hardware (screws, bolts, nuts, etc)
Can't say what I'm making, but I can say this:
Staining wood is fun.

It's all over!
Obama wins, no contest.
Senate remains in Democratic control.
House remains in Republican control.
Feinstein gets reelected.
UN Arms Trade Treaty moving forward.
We're just as screwed as we were last week.
And as far as California is concerned:
Prop 30 passes, as does Prop 39.
And my taxes continue to rise.
But.....IT'S THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF THIS BLOG!
*fireworks*noisemakers*SPARKLES!*
Hard to believe I made it this far. Now if only I was as dedicated to my (non-existent) workout routine.

Election? Not I.
So...I'm in Texas.
Which means in not going to be able to vote. So all my deliberations were for naught.
On the bright side, it's nice to see all these Romney/Ryan signs. Was tired of Obama/Biden signs.
Prediction for tomorrow: Obama is going to win.
Hope: Democrats DO NOT capture the House.
My tax rate is going up next year regardless, by about 6-7% combined Fed and State.
