sigh of relief... sort of

after i voted yesterday, i came home to blog. then i was suspicious that the internet was going to blow up from increased activity, so i put it off until today. besides, now i get to say EEE! no more nail biting while we wait for the outcome. no more ugly advertising. no more mailbox full of political postcards. (they seem to have targeted the indie's in my district, as derek got no mail of this sort, but another indie friend of mine got a lot as well.) of course there will still be news, but this thing has been going on for TWO YEARS, so i'm glad it's done at last.

and i must say this: i found john mccain to be incredibly gracious and heartfelt in his concession speech, even if his followers were less than polite. he may have turned darth vader during the course of things, but he did end on a high note for me. credit where credit is due.

on a sadder note, derek has pulled up the results from many of the important state questions that were on ballots yesterday. it was very mixed, and i'm so appalled at some of our findings that i can't even talk about it right now. this is where rage and hope become my best allies.

now i move on to holding my breath for a different reason. our ionesco shows open tomorrow night. everything seemed to fall into place (another sigh of relief i've been waiting for) last night at the dress rehearsal, so it was a calming night overall. having not acted in a few years, i'm a little nervous. note to all who go on a stage - check your zipper! i found out about twenty seconds before my entrance that my zipper was down. i only hope the photographer that was present last night before we started didn't take any pictures of my crotch.


what else i'm pining over:
i can't find my stamps!

Well I have tried snail mail and calling you. I am trying another tactic now. I hope all is well for your show.

the show is turning out funly. (is that a new adverb?) we at least got through opening night! thank goodness it's cooling off so that the nightingale is temperate.
