Twitter can only be the work of the Father of Lies himself, because all my great ideas for posts get condensed down to 140 characters. (Hey, that would fit!)
Little of note has been going on lately; I have mostly been working and doing little else, although I did go this weekend to see The Princess Bride at the Music Box Theatre’s midnight show. I went with David and his fianceé Mel and a good time was definitely had by all.
Summer has definitely cashed its check here in Chicago and so we’re about to begin the long slide that ends with single-digit temperatures in January, February and March. On the upside, it’s October, which means it’s time to prepare for Hallowe’en. That is certainly a Good Thing.
Officially, I’ve been transferred to the Woodson Regional Library of the Chicago Public Library system, but right now, it’s a paper transfer, since I’ve been detailed (i.e., loaned) back to my original branch. However, I should be moved over in person sometime between now and January 1. We’ll see what happens.
I have been following the election, but only with moderate (enjoy that political humor, fellers) interest. I’ve actually reached a point where I don’t dislike the McCain/Palin campaign any more and I just feel embarrassed to see the depths to which they’ve sunk in order to try to scare up votes. Part of me can’t believe this is the same guy I really liked and wanted to win in 2000. I’m also amazed at how well Barack Obama’s campaign has been run. I think we’re looking at the Jack Kennedy of our generation (only with less Marilyn Monroe sex).
