* The Romney campaigne is claiming that the mere existence of pro-Obama negative ads meant the Republican vote was suppressed. Unlike the negative lie filled Romney ads and the actual restricting of voting and the throwing out of Democratic voter registration, all of which were perfectly reasonable. Riiiiiight.
* One of the many, many things I love about Melissa Harris-Perry is her discomfort with putting fundamental civil rights up to the vote while still consistently supporting LGBTQ Civil Rights. I feel much the same. Here is her discussion on various ballot measures:
* "The Real Real America:" http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/11/07/the-real-real-america/
* I am uncomfortable with the way this is headlined and the tone. (Burials like this can be all sorts of things and labels are fuzzy before the 19th century) Anyway, interesting burial here: http://newsfeed.time.com/2012/11/07/ancient-vampire-grave-unearthed-in-england/
* Oh man, I'm already doing better now that I have one of my key prescriptions back. I get the other thing sorted Monday, but seriously, just having the physical inconvenience cut in half is sooo much better.
* I came down with Con crud round about Wednesday, but it kicked in hard today. Aiyee!
* I finished Saints Astray. While Santa Olivia was certainly a gripping stand alone piece of speculative fiction with an excellent Latina Lesbian protagonist that I am very fond of, there were a lot more things that needed saying about the characters and their world. Saints Astray addresses those beautifully. While it's a little slow at first, once it got going, I had trouble putting it down. It was nice to see the other main character get fleshed out better. It was wonderful to see the character and world arcs work out. Warning: I think this works as a stand alone, but it would be vastly better to read the first book as that ads a lot more meaning and emotional heft to the story.
