Illini, Iowa and Indecision.

I'm home in Sacramento now, after a 7 hour drive up the 5 that I could damn near do with my eyes closed by now. After moving just a few weeks ago then taking off for the holidays, I'm surrounded by boxes, don't have cable, and can't seem to find my blender (which might be my prizes possession) so I'm writing.

I watched the Rose Bowl yesterday, and cheered for the beleaguered Illini all the way. I don't care the lease bit about Illinois or football for that matter, but I'm a public school snob. It's not an oxymoron, I promise. New Years Day is meant for doing nothing, and it was amazing. Nothing=football+onion dip.

Tomorrow, voters in Iowa caucus for the 2008 presidential primary. I've never been to Iowa (other than driving through, it's true what they say about the corn), but I'm pretty sure the arcane caucus system has got to be a sight to see. I like all the Democratic candidates better this year than I liked any of them in 2004, which is why it's been so hard for me to commit to a candidate. I'm 90% in the Edwards camp for now, but that's all I'll say.

On another note, one of the rockstar-awesome students I work with posted a link today on Facebook, instructing everyone to share it with their liberal friends. It's a good read, I'll save the analysis for later (it could be awhile.) Back to searching through boxes.
