NaBloPoMo Day #17 - Quickie

by Nathan on Nov.17, 2009, under Miscellaneous

Okay, I need a quick post tonight. This blogging everyday thing is a bit much. How am I supposed to watch TV? I want to watch V tonight, but I also want to get to bed at a reasonable hour. Considering that it’s 9:30 now, that might not be happening. I’ve heard a few people say they don’t like V, but I think it’s been pretty good so far. Mostly I want see the FBI agent’s kid get it on with the blonde lizard girl. That would be hot.

Some guy left the longest comment ever on my blog on the Electoral Vote post I did a few days ago. It’s all about a National Popular Vote plan where a group of states that have at least 270 electoral votes all agree to pledge their votes to the candidate who wins the national popular vote. It’s a neat idea, and completely constitutional as far as I can tell, but it feels kind of gimmicky. I’d rather fix the problem head on that use a work around. I also heard from a few people who like the electoral college because it prevents mob mentality. I can see this point, but I still don’t like the way presidential candidates spend all their time in a handful of states. Part of me says that electoral votes should be awarded for each house congressional district (plus a few for D.C.), but then we have to worry about gerrymandering. Oh forget it, this is too hard, let’s just appoint a dictator. I’ll do it if nobody else wants to.

I’m currently in this intense internal debate whether or not to take an additional three days off at Christmas. I’m already off from Christmas Eve to January 4th, which is 11 straight days off. Not bad, but if I took 3 vacation days, I could have 16 straight days off. I probably won’t though, I keep thinking of all the trips I’d like to take, and those 3 vacation days might be vital.

Okay, that is all I can manage tonight. I’ll leave you with a Haiku:

Cats Are Not Very Green

Can You Find Me A Blue Cat?

If You Can, You Win!

Yeah, poetry is not my thing.
