Subject? What's that?
Oct. 5th, 2006 01:07 pmOkay, so it's been a while, but really, there hasn't been all that much in my life worth reporting on at the moment. I gues..
Work is good. I still like my job, which is a bonus. Movies we've been getting are better as of recently, which is good, because our revenue had been way down. But we're getting into horror movie season, so that should draw the college crowd. (Texas Chainsaw Massacere, the begining opens tomorrow, followed by Grudge 2 on the 13, and Saw III at the end of the month.)
I'm still kind of floundering around trying to get some kind of campaign underway. I'm struggling a little bit with my ideology, which doesn't help. Well, maybe not my ideology as much as my current utter embarassment in being publically associated with the Republican party, which at the moment, bears little resemblance to what the Republican Party should look like. Nationally, I think we're going to take a bath in November, and in some cases, we deserve to, but the backlash is coming down on the local level politicians (like me) who have nothing to do with the war in Iraq, the Federal budget disaster, or God help me, Mark Foley, but simply because we use the name Republican to identify ourselves, that somehow makes us cuplable in the eyes of voters. Example. On primary day, a woman came up to the polls and looked at me and the other guy holding signs at the polls. "Which one is which?" she wanted to know. When I told her I was the Republican side, she turned away from me, saying "I hate Dick Cheney." Excuse me? Do I look like DIck Cheney? Am I even holding a sign for him? No. This is a state/county election. It has nothing to do with him. Gah. With all this noise, it's hard to get the message of lower taxes, less government, and more local control out and be heard.
Okay, that rant turned out a lot longer than I intended.
I'm going to be attending a dinner for the country Republican parties of Orange County, Vermont, and Grafton County, NH. Looking foward to that, because I'll meet some movers and shakers. I'm also going to a rally where I'll get to meet Rudy Guiliani, so that's pretty cool.
Anyway. The weather is beautiful here today, perfect fall weather really. Nice and crisp. I'm working on DTR 24, it's almost done. Had some friends over last night, and got to play with their little one. She's quite the squirmer, but it was fun. Babies are so cute.
There was something else...but I've lost it, it's gone. Maybe it'll come to me later.
