Wednesday Thoughts

So, as you may have heard, Massachusetts had an election last night, in which the Democrats lost. My thoughts very closely track those of John Scalzi, so click on over and read them. It's probably the only political post you'll see today with the words "gonads," "collapse like a flan in the cupboard" and "flip the GOP the bird" in it.

In other news, I have a date with destiny my new kitchen - the week of January 25. We're installing a new sink, countertop, refacing cabinets, lights and paint. Looks like a week of eating out, which is no big deal since I had events scheduled for three evenings anyway.

Also on the home front, my new 40-inch Samsung TV is up and running. It's an LCD with really good picture quality (even though I don't yet have high-def cable) and all the other bells and whistles one would want. It's a big upgrade on my 25 inch Big Glass Box. Said BGB was removed by the delivery people, and I suspect that one of them will be keeping it for his personal use, which is fine by me.

Lastly, I got an email with my tentative schedule for programing at Capricon. Since I understand we have until Friday to make any needed changes, I'll wait until then to post it.
