Honestly, if I was going to choose a "winner" of the VP debate, I'd probably choose Cheney.

Seriously.

The thing here, though, is, this isn't a debate. Both people get a chance to talk about stuff.

That's a good thing, frankly. I think that, in general, Edwards is doing a better job of answering questions in such a way that will shift undecided voters to his ticket. Slightly. But, the thing is, Cheney's coming across as downright likable. At least, compared to how I percieved him previously.

Not gonna change my vote, of course. I like the Kerry/Edwards ticket, I like what they stand for. But I think Cheney is coming across much better than I thought he would, and Edwards isn't quite as pulled together as I hoped.

So, I dunno. Who will this help more? Dunno. In some ways, seeing how much better Cheney is doing than Bush did, I don't think that's really all that good for the Republican ticket. . .

My day. Pretty dull, really.

So, I was working the day shift at the grill bar today. ("I was working the day shift out of the Grill Bar. My name is Friday. I carry a drink shaker." Naw, I don't think it would fly. . . )

We dropped our car off at the shop late last night for them to change the oil today. We've got lifetime free oil changes at our local repair shop -- you pay them a fee once and then you never need to pay them anything ever again for oil changes for the lifetime of the car. We got a phone call before 9 AM that it was all done and ready to be picked up. So we got the car and Lis dropped me off at the train so I could go to work. Oh, Lis had also looked up which libraries had recordings of Iolanthe.

I had my copy of the score with me to read on the train, and, as I was looking through it, the gentleman next to me, a black man about 65 years old or so, said, "Pardon me, is that Gilbert and Sullivan you're reading?"
