I've become addicted to the refresh button just to watch the Yahoo electoral map change. Since the news stations are scared to report the presidential tallies so far, Yahoo seems the way to go.

I voted by absentee ballot almost two weeks ago so this night has been a long wait!

Okay, it's now 6:05 pm PST and all those red blobs on the map are starting to freak me out a little. The big red stripe down the center of the country just looks so strange!

7:19 pm and Bush has 195 to Kerry's 112 electoral votes. The actual vote % is pretty close and once again we may see a divided finish in popular vs. electoral votes. I should also give a shout out to Mondo who I think was a volunteer at the polls today. Go Mondo!

8:12 pm and it's getting closer. I did the math though and if the states leaning towards Bush stay that way, he'll get vote. New Hampshire sure is a tough call. It's 11:12 pm there and the votes are still almost evenly split.

    Well, now it is 11pm and still no winner has been declared. I'm not going to sleep well tonight not knowing who will be our next president. I had a dream two nights ago that my candidate lost and then I destroyed everything in room. I hope that doesn't happen!

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

-
Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...

COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISHCOLUMBIA - AND ALASKA....THE TSUNAMI WARNING AND WATCH STATUS IS CANCELED FOR CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISH COLUMBIA - AND ALASKA... It's good to know that today's media is so excited for another tsunami, that newscasters managed to panic coastal residents for thousands of miles. My neighbor came rushing out her house to call out "tsunami" in 3 hours! She was ready to evacuate. We could not convice her that while we are near the beach, it is a good mile away, with a major freeway inbetween us and a nice rolling hill. She was still ready to go to higher ground, bathrobe and all. Luckily, the Weather Channel has announced the cancellation of the alert. I guess I can sleep now and not have to worry about being washed away.

Calgary, Canada - The Starfleet Experience

Image
Against all odds, the Star Trek Starfleet Academy Experience was in Calgary the same time as me! It was interactive with games, Klingon language lessons, and the Kobayashi Maru exam. All of it is to test what area you'll be admitted into Starfleet. Entrances are timed to reduce wait time to do the activities and it never felt crowded. Here's my image getting ready to beam up. And if this plays correctly, it's my actual beam up. Turns out I'm Uhura and bound for Communications!
