Sleep, Rock the Vote
Last night I got a whole 5 hours of sleep, and then took a 1 hour nap late this afternoon. The rest of this week I've been sleeping a 8-10 hours a night and then napping for two hours early in the day. I was beginning to think that maybe 10-12 hours of sleep a day was just my normal. I feel fine today, so I think that clearly I need to deprive myself of sleep more often or something. We'll see if I can stay awake tonight.

I tried to register to vote at rock the vote, but it turns out they're harvesting email addresses!! And I have an ancient button from then that I still wear. I guess I have to fill out a form the old fashioned way. And find a nice Obama button instead of an old rock the vote button. I finally did decide that I like Obama. I'm just so sick of the news garbage that I had totally written off the whole election, but then a friend asked me to look something up about Obama on his website. It turns out he actually supports the sorts of things that I support, like the revolutionary idea that you should give jobs to ex-cons so they get off the streets,expand the use of the drug courts so that junkies can get clean rather than rotting away in prison, supporting unions (hello Walmart), and protecting women's health. I didn't expect to find a national level politician that actually represents me. I had given up on national politics because I didn't like any of them, and preferred to follow local and state politics instead.
