Did you get out and vote?

I did!

Randall and I have been voting absentee for a while, mostly because
our polling place isn't convenient, but also because we turn it into
an event. We sit down and go through the candidates and measures. Most
of the time we cancel each other's votes out, but it's sort of fun to
debate.

The one thing we haven't mastered with the absentee ballot is the
whole mailing it out early thing. This is fine except it means we have
to drop them off at a polling place. But I left work real late so
there was no way I was making it to the one near my house. I tried to
go to one near work, but it wasn't where the interweb said it would
be. I was about to get real discouraged when I remebered duh, city
hall (and more importantly the department of elections) was on my way
home. Ta da! Civic duty done!

An aMaizeing nerd Monday

This evening we did the unthinkable and went out on a Monday night.
First we headed to pica pica on Valencia (sooooo good, you must go) to
pick up dinner and then to Karen and Shin's where we devoured our
tasty arepas and settled in for some settlers. Turns out they are even
nerdier for it than we are.

Lots of nerdy fun was had, but the best part was that I won. (I never
win.) I even had the longest road.

Actually the best part was when shin pulled out a bunch of random
kitkats (corn flavor!) for dessert. Combined with the three kinds
reiko gave me at work, it was a 7 weird flavors of kitkat day. There
was raspberry, soy sauce, wasabi, soy powder, corn, melon, and
strawberry cheesecake. For the record, I liked the corn the best, but
they were all awesome in their own way.
