I Can't Look

about 2 weeks ago, i half watched with trepidation while the redsox did the impossible and beat the yankees in game 7 of the ALCS.

tonight, i can't even watch. we actually have Coyote Ugly on. blech.

i'm nervous about the outcome of this election.

earlier today though, i did get a little excited. since the accident, i've decided to bag driving in to work and instead have been taking the train. it takes longer but in the end, it's saner. i get to knit and read. and when i get off of the train i end up in copley square. and there's always something interesting going on in copley square.

like this morning:

and on my way home this afternoon ... there were probably tons of people just like these guys, milling around. for awhile afterwards, i felt hopeful and inspired.

tomorrow morning, everyone will be gone...let's hope it's after a long night of celebrating.

ok i'm going to bed without turning on the news. i really am.

(and yes, i voted. took all of 15 minutes. weirdo ballot where i had to connect the name of the candidate to an arrow using a black magic marker. oh...we got an interesting ballot question which i had heard nothing about. would i allow my state senator to vote for allowing a sick person to grow their own marijuana. i voted yes. i swear i've become more and more liberal in my old age.)
