"I tried"
Yesterday. Went to class from 11-5, went straight to the polling location to vote. It was much more of a fiasco than it should have been. See, I registered two years ago in Champaign County. I voted then. Last year, they automatically updated my address when I moved. This year, everything got messed up. I got a voter registration card for Cook County (aka home, where I have never registered OR voted), and I did not get one for Champaign county. When I went to vote, they had last year's address, and the lady yelled at me for not updating my registration, when I hadn't had to do it last year... and she wouldn't tell me HOW to do it, just that I should have done it. Grrr. She was mean. I was like "Last year it happened automatically. What should I have done this year?" and she was all snappy. Whatever. She wouldn't believe me that I live in the same precinct, even though I live a block from where I did last year, and the year before. Ah well. She wouldn't let me vote in the full election, just the federal. I tried!!
So after THAT fiasco, I had to rush home and make it to the mall, to Borders so Shelley could get Justified, and to the grocery store so that I could make dinner for Aarti, all in an hour and a half. Everything went smoothly, until it got to be time to make dinner. <.sigh> Disappointing. The cake, which I left in for NINE minutes SHORTER than it should have been, got a little overcooked. We have this little half-size oven, and I think things cook faster in there. Grrrr. And then the fondue... the cheese wouldn't melt for ANYTHING. It was tasty, but there was no dipping. We had to just take a chunk of cheese and put it on bread. <.giggle> ah well. I tried, man. That's the theme of the day. I tried.
THEN. I got a link to the KIIS FM webcam, where JC was spending the evening. And Joey was there!!! Joey AND JC in LA last night together... oh, it was so fun. I couldn't get the audio because my computer SUCKS ::pets computer nicely:: But I watched JC and his entourage an hour and a half. <.g> And then, the nicest thing ever... Aarti called because she COULD get the audio, and she held the phone to the speakers and let me hear JC talking, and Joey telling a story about when he totally froze and blanked in RENT the other day, and then they played JC's SONG. His solo song, from Drumline. It was soooooo good!! I loved it. I can't WAIT until it's released. Decemberish, they said? I want it to come out sooner! Man. SO cool. It's not even finished yet. They had to get all this special permission to play it, which took forever, but they finally did and AHHH!!! He's so talented. He really is. He sang lower than he usually does, and it was just really smooth and sexy. Ha ha. I hope someone recorded it....
Off to see if I can find it somewhere....
