And on the fifth day, he rested.

After logging in almost 30 hours at work in the last four days, the body likes this whole idea of "sitting around". Aaaahhh.....

In addition to a sudden increase in hours, I got to audition for a Pittsburgh talent/commercial agency. Huzzah. When I say "audition," I mean that I filled out paperwork, listened to explanations, handed my headshot/resume over, and interviewed with an assistant for about 10 minutes. Very straightforward, and I find out tomorrow.

Meanwhile, California might not find out its fate tomorrow. People are streaming to the polls just so they can get this bloody debacle over with. What a tumultuous breakup of ice in a river this is, too. The whole recall is an affront to the spirit of democracy. Yes, the people deserve the ability to call into question the continued service of a public official. But the stench wafting over from the West Coast is not the sweat of the people, but the fecal matter of politics. This has been, and still is, politicians channelling the public anger for their hopeful personal gain.

So:
1) Gray Davis should never have been recalled this early into his current term.
2) That said, keeping Davis in office may be harmful to the state of CA.
3) On the other hand, Arnold is not the most qualified candidate (to say the least).
4) On the third hand (growing out of my back), Arnold does not deserve the comments of "legal action" over this set of allegations, which may/may not be exaggerated.
5) Does this mean that if you have made ANY mistakes in your past, that you should not run for an office, as your wealthy opponents can bring them back in a dangerous light?
6) And what about Cruz Bustamante, a seemingly adept public official? He broke from the Davis camp, so as to provide an option for people wanting the recall but not wanting a Republican. Unless he wins, he'll probably be a pariah to his party.

Alright, enough of this excrement. I'm off to Ohio to spend time with my Stephy.

Today's Thought: The perfect way to celebrate a great fantasy football season (so far) is to join a fantasy league for a sport you haven't watched in years. Like, say, hockey. It's not going to be pretty.
