so my guy didn’t win in the primary yesterday. at least, not here. he did alright for himself over all, and still has a lot of momentum going in to next time, but i’m a little sad california didn’t step up and go for the fresh face versus the established one. but still hopeful. in fact, since my vote didn’t seem to help out terribly, i even took it upon myself to make my first donation to this race this morning as a consolation prize. you’re welcome, america.

the weird thing is with the amount of time i spent on my couch listening to inane commentary on CNN last night waiting for results to come in, you’d think i was being drafted into the race myself. they treat it like a sport, which i guess is how you keep it interesting in a race-to-the-finish kind of way, but at the same time it’s just endless repetition of essentially baseless opinions by supposed experts. i know it’s doing me no good to watch, i’m not gaining any better an understanding of who will win. i’m especially not getting any better insight into WHY one should win over the other. even the speeches from the candidates are recycled. and yet i can’t… look… away…

i finally shut it off and watched the hilariously bad jon stewart/stephen colbert/conan o’brien crossover, which i only wish they had done when they had writers. i love the new generation of late night kings, but man do they look silly doing an extended slapstick routine. and yet i can’t… look… away…
