We can all see that the country is going down, and here in good ol’ New York that is plain to see. Especially when you are living outside Albany, the state capital, where local news consists of where Patterson ate lunch that day. Well, today being the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November (ie- Election Day), I headed to the polls to choose Patterson’s replacement.
In the end, I went with what I know…and I know Star Wars. Thus, I voted for Carl Paladino, since he reminds me of Emperor Palpatine, supreme overlord of the Galactic Empire.
Carl Paladino- Republican Party
Emperor Palpatine- Galactic Empire
It doesn’t stop there. If Warwick Davis was to run for Senator or some other position, I would vote for him in a heartbeat. Wicket is the most badass of the Ewoks!

Since the schools are closed tomorrow for Election Day, I dont have to go in. So Ive been thinking about my plans for tomorrow, and this is what I hope to accomplish:
- Finish watching Season Nine of The Simpsons
- Play SvR2010 (so long as it comes in on time)
- Get my lessons finished for Wednesday
- Start reading my Civil War book for class
- Get a hair cut
That is what I hope to accomplish. Who knows what I will do. One thing is for sure though…the leisure activities will take precedent over the school ones!!!

So Gamefly has been successful in perplexing me once again. I had an open queue, and I decided to wait and snag Fairytale Fight, which had a release date of 10/27 on Gamefly. So I waited, and the day came and went and I got no message telling me it shipped. So I looked on the site, and the release date had changed to 10/29. So I said “ok, fine I’ll wait til then.” Then on Thursday the date changed to 10/30, then yesterday the release date changed again to 10/31. Then this morning I went on there, and the current release date is 11/3.
As I was constantly waiting for this game to ship, I received an email informing me that WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2010 (which had an availability of very low) shipped. Im pretty happy…Ive been dying to get my hands on the new SvR game and see how it is. So I’ll be getting that in next. Im hoping it gets here by Monday so that I can spend all Tuesday playing since I’ll be home from school thanks to Election Day. We shall see.
Morale of the story…Gamefly is a very confusing and frustrating system, yet I love it!!!
