One last weekend.
Last weekend I went to KooKooKoosh Kamp one last time.As the house is being removed from the property, the contents also had to go. So I went back to get a couple of things.Luckily for me a few friends came along. And how did I reward them? With a 6 mile hike in Jamaica State

TGIED!
Thank Gawd It's Election Day!!!Hopefully this means that the days of coming home to an answering machine full of vote requests are behind me.Yesterday I had 18 messages waiting for me. Deletedeletedelete.And through the night, another 7 calls. Too bad I got a call from each candidate because my original plan was to NOT vote for the candidates who called.But on the upside, I LOVE to vote. Seriously. It is my favorite civic duty.

Maybe it was all the rain...
Apparently the bumper acorn crop this season means it is going to be a really tough winter this year.According to Deb G anyway.(via Universal Hub)She points out that the last big ass acorn crop was in 1995-6. See diagram below:

Not as smart, but still not dumb.
Trivia at Trident Cafe on Friday night was a sh*t show for Team SmartiePants.The place was jam-packed with freshly arrived students so we snagged a table off to the side.

Can you f*cking believe it? I missed an

What a year.
I am pretty much already done with 2009. Yep. I am starting 2010 a little early.For starters, I am surprised that there are any celebrities left alive in this year o'death. Do you think that this is God's way of saying "sort out health care RIGHT FRICKING NOW before I kill them all off!"?Because I am willing to wait on resolving healthcare until the Death-a-Thon catches up with the Olsen twins.I'm just saying.And if I never hear the word "Recession" or a tip about living frugally again, I'll be happy. There is a reason the word "recession" exists and it is directly related to the fact that it can't always be a boom or a plateau. So deal.
