Had to wait in line from 8:55 to 9:40 to vote today. Poll workers said "big turn out".

Is this the surprise Karl's been hinting at? Major assault on Fallujah commenced on the eve of the election? The Guardian seems to think it's begun. Put American troops in harm's way, get everyone rah-rahing for the leadership in a time of crisis, etc.? The timing stinks.
THE ARCHITECTURAL LEAGUE PRESENTS
Christo and Jeanne-Claude
Two Works in Progress
The Gates, Project for Central Park, New York City
Over the River, Project for the Arkansas River, State of Colorado
Thursday, November 4
6:30 p.m.
The Great Hall, Cooper Union
Oftentimes only by disrupting space are we able to see it in a new light. Since the late 1950s, the large-scale art installations of Christo and Jeanne-Claude have forced onlookers to constantly reevaluate the surrounding environment. Past projects include the wrapping of the Pont Neuf in Paris (1985) and the Reichstag in Berlin (1995) as well as a host of other projects in the U.S., Europe, Asia, and Australia. One of their current projects, The Gates, Project for Central Park, New York City, is slated to open in February 2005 when 7500 saffron fabric panels will be unfurled from vinyl poles 16 feet in height throughout 23 miles of the park. Christo and Jeanne-Claude pay for the expense of all their projects through the sale of original work; they accept no sponsors. For more information about the artist please visit their website www.christojeanneclaude.net.
(If you haven't heard them speak in public... it is a pretty interesting 'process'...)

Florida update: mrs. fingers and I will be travelling to Fort Lauderdale tomorrow with (at last count) 95 other confirmed volunteers to get out the vote in Broward County. Some reports project our group's final number at over 120 (various stragglers and plus-one's).
Related note: if Florida stays disputed... have a nice November in NYC, I'll see you at Xmas!
cheers!

A secret document obtained from inside Bush campaign headquarters in Florida suggests a plan - possibly in violation of US law - to disrupt voting in the state's African-American voting districts, a BBC Newsnight investigation reveals.

solipsism is on the menu at jon favreaus ifc show Dinner for Five but i cant help but stop in for a nibble from time to time.
g4techtv is a station i get with directv. looks to be gamers and gadgets oriented. im just now watching cinematech which looks to be a collection of short form "video game" movies. i guess they could be classified as demos but im not sure if they werent created specifically for this format. obviously they are commercials for new games but the line between animated features and games becomes ever more hazy as a result.

I saw two (air quote) bad movies this weekend -- Shaun of the Dead and Dirty Shame. Shaun had some laughs and was enjoyable junk food. Dirty Shame had some laughs too, but ultimately wasn't as satisfying ... until the theater let out. The best fun was watching suburbanites apologize to their friends for bringing them to such an awful movie. After recent outings (including a guest spot on the Simpsons a few years back), I think they were expecting "campy" Waters. But they got "raunchy" Waters.
"Oh my god. The review said it would be like this, but, you know, I really didn't expect it to be like this."
