Simple Man

Caitlin plays Brain Age and those sorts of games on her DS to exercise her brain and can whoop me mentally in most categories. Today I decided to tape a mic to a camera tripod and try singing and playing guitar in Rock Band. I’m a genuinely terrible singer so I was quite pleased so see that I could make it through playing guitar on HARD and singing at EASY… I think I’ll up the levels and see how many boos I get. But seriously, if you haven’t tried doing this, try it — it’s a ton of fun and may well be a mental workout.

I’m definitely looking forward to seeing the election results tonight… I saw that the McCain campaign has been circulating a memo telling people to “ignore the exit polls” because they “veer to the left by 15%+”… Hmm… If you could “veer” the election 15 points to the right via voting machines, you just stole yourself an election. Interesting that this little statistical abnormality only started to show its ugly face once Republican electronic voting machines became popular.

    I’m also very curious to know the final results; people over here can say it’s not their business but it’s not really true.
    I’m def. gonna watch tomorrow’s morning news!

    I think that Nate at 538.com says there’s usually a 2-3% lean dem in most polls, but his models try to iron that out, though he still has McCain’s chance of winning tonight at 1.9%.

    I’ll believe Obama has won once I see him on TV, broadcast live from whitehouse.

    “My fellow Americans…”

    Then I might start to believe.

    If any element of the media, even Fox, start touting 15% left-lean in polls then I think the majority of people, even those who’ve voted McCain, will have to start considering that there really is something rotten in the state of, err… Denmark?

    Nono… *scratches head*

Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
