Twitter, Debates & One Sweet Night With Sarah Before She Was Mrs. Palin

Ok, last part of that title? Totally made that up. Wanted to see if anybody was paying attention. Hmm... the librarian thing works, but you know she'd want to talk and then it would be all over.

So how was the debate? Asking that assumes that you're American, which you probably are. I think I have like... 3 Canadian readers and one's my mom. Whatever. I love US politics. It's so much more entertaining then ours. Probably has a lot to do with the bazillions of dollars you guys spend on elections. You have 10 times the population than we do so money's a little tighter up here. On the other hand, we've got like...5 monkeys running for office instead of just two and doesn't that only two bit get boring? Hell, one of our candidates belongs to a party whose sole purpose is to secede their province from the rest of Canada. How's THAT for democracy? Also, it's a lot more fun to watch yours, because at the end of the day, it's YOURS.

What was I getting at? Oh ya, I didn't get to watch the debate because it came on during the middle of dinner time here and since Supreme Leader was working late there was nobody to dump that responsibility on. How could I have said that better? Can you tell that I didn't really have anything to talk about? The great thing about never really writing about anything is that on days when I really have nothing to write about, you can't really tell. Ha haaa...shit. Cat's outta the bag on that one. So... ah, awkward... um?

Wait, no! Now I remember why I started this. Twitter. Good thing I started off with the title, huh? (wait, remember target audience) Good thing I started off with the title, eh? Ooh! And this actually pulls everything together. Seriously, the way my brain works even frightens me. So Twitter. Some of the people I follow on Twitter like to comment on things like, say, the debate. And they comment a lot. A. LOT. So much so that I had to go into my 'following' menu and turn off their 'device updates' option. (If I've lost you because you don't tweet, this is the option that allows comments to be sent to your cell phone) Because I don't live in the US, I am limited to only 250 incoming tweets a month. (Because cell companies in Canada, just like any other country in the world, suck ass and that was the best deal Twitter could get.) So if endless tweeting people take up too many of my messages, I'm cut off that much faster. And then somebody actually sends me a message but I don't get it and they're all like, who does he think HE is? I won't be IGNORED, Alex! (anyone?)

So here we are at the end and you're probably shaking your head because your vision is blurred. Sorry. The ride got a little bumpy because I could hear my oldest upstairs in the middle of this and he sounded like he'd smoked a pack of unfiltered in kindergarten today. I'm thinking this could be a long night. Still friends?
