15:12:35: RT @fivethirtyeight: [anecdotal and completely speculative gossip about turnout patterns to which you should attribute great meaning!]
15:28:35: O hai - Life actually came around and kept me verra busy today. What a concept.
15:31:25: I have a five year old who sang 'P is for Penis' all the way home last night.
15:32:04: And do dinosaurs have penises? Well, the boy ones do. What do the girl ones have?
15:32:31: And what does that do? And all of a sudden, bam - we're talking about his adoption again.
15:33:16: And for the first time, I hear about how sad it had made him. "I cried a lot, Mommy." "Yes, dear you did. And that's perfectly okay."
15:34:10: It was like taking all the air out of a balloon. I think this had been bothering him for weeks...whether he knew it or not. #adoption
15:34:47: We started watching Ultraman again. The last place he'd seen it, was with his foster family. I'm sure it shook up some memories.
15:35:40: So I've had a very angry kid, no reason why, non-compliant and tantrumish over the stupidest stuff. Kinda suspected, but.
15:36:26: But I was able to reassure him that yes, I knew who his foster family was, knew they were fine and that they knew where he was.
15:36:48: And that I thought the loved him and had taken really good care of him while they were looking for us.
15:37:47: That seemed to settle the matter. Last night, I had a happy boy to put down to sleep - hoping to add some layers soon.
15:38:30: With kid #2 on the schedule, this might get easier to explain. We're waiting for her, you see. Like we waited for them to find us for you.
15:40:10: But man, I will minimize how angry this makes him at my own risk. I don't think he even knew it himself.
15:43:31: @Tubaville Nasty, nasty day. I'm sorry.

15:44:22: @trillsie I'm insanely lucky to have such a SMART kid. He doesn't miss much. He's just only five years old.

15:51:41: In other news, the Pikachu suit has been washed and put away to see duty another day.
15:52:01: Watch me wear that thing in my eighties. You just wait.
15:54:05: I could seriously do with a bunch of puppies right now. Big, fat, slobbery ones.
15:55:30: @motherissues It's always in the car when I'm driving, dammit! I swear, this is getting to be a trope.
15:56:33: @spyderkl Thanks - I just wish it could have been done better, somehow. But as they say - it is what it is, and I couldn't change any of it.

17:10:58: Great, just great. I have to call the voter fraud hotline. #vote
17:12:44: I found this at the check in desks, BOTH of them. (Two precincts voting at one location.) http://twitpic.com/33ddhp #FML: #vote
17:13:40: I confront the pollworkers and they just looked nervous and said it was a joke. #nopoliticsmeannopolitics
17:17:12: Oh FUCK YEAH I voted.
17:17:54: Oh FUCK YEAH I just called their asses in. #feelingsoiledin321

21:01:21: Getting Jerry Brown back as governor is almost like getting Reagan back as President. Except...it's Jerry Brown. #competencewehasit
21:03:02: All that money...that Jerry DIDN'T spend. Think about it.
21:11:27: I predict he's going to get in, take a look at things and redo the finances in a way that will startle and amaze.
21:13:12: Budgets are suddenly going to make sense again. I think it's going to completely blow people out of the water.
21:13:38: Because suddenly, the money will be found to make it work.
21:15:02: One thing money won't buy you in California - votes. Have a nice day. (*whew*)

21:19:42: @caitlinchris I predict the unimaginable right now.
21:22:41: On the flip side, folks frustrated with the lack of Democratic backbone are feeling vindicated - because, gee. There was a reason!
21:23:48: But I think you can see how easily the decision was made not to be a Democrat (and the Republicans won't have me).
21:24:42: You guys are losing to CRAZY PEOPLE.
