One good night

Tonight was a good night. I voted for what I am ashamed to say is the first time. I voted for McCain and i'm proud to say it. I like McCain and I like what he stands for. The normal political mud slinging matches didn't make me think any less of him. I wouldn't be able to handle knowing that I at least didn't help keep a man who's patriotism I seriously doubt from gaining office. I personally believe that McCain is not going to win. Too many people view him as more of the same, as old fashioned. I'm all too aware that I am part of the Apple and iPod generation. We want different, new and flashy. I think Obama is all of that, but that doesn't ensure good performance in office. Ok, done with that. On a totally non political note, I made the best lasagna ever tonight!

My xbox

I found a great deal on some games today and was excited to play them when I got home. I got tomb raider legend for the 360, chrome hounds which is a mech combat game and a game that Holly has been wanting for ages, Crash Bandicoot for the original xbox. I was most disappointed to discover that my 360 had gone dead somewhere between yesterday morning and this afternoon. Maybe this was a good thing, because Holly and I spent several hours playing Crash together, which is a pretty rare thing. That game is actually pretty fun in a really old school way that is exactly what she was looking for. I can be pretty laid back about the 360 going dead because we were smart and purchased a warranty extension when we got it. If we hadn't, this would have really sucked. The manufacturers warranty expired 2 weeks ago. Go figure. Well, hurray for planning for the worst.

Land snails

Here in Hawaii we have snails that if found in France might be used instead of cattle. I haven't heard one moo yet but I wouldn't be surprised.
