Notes...

We had about sixty five kids last night for Halloween. This includes the older kids without a costume. It reminded me of the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" where Larry David refuses to give two kids any candy. They got candy, I'm not a curmudgeon like Larry. (Hilarious episode though)...

Rented "The Human Stain" with (get this) Anthony Hopkins, Nicole Kidman, Gary Sinise, and Ed Harris. With a cast like this how could I go wrong? Well I did. Fast. What a complete waste of time. By the end of the movie (spoiler coming up) I was happy with what happened to the leads in the film. It was torture watching this thing drag on and on and on and on... It was the single biggest waste of a superb cast I have ever seen in film. The movie was basically about a light skinned black man, who makes a choice early on to try and "pass" as a white man. He alienates his family, blah, blah, blah... He's accused of racism later on in life, which causes him to lose his repected job at a university.... And in the end turns in to a pathetic loser who get's involved with another pathetic loser who's being hunted down by (you ready for this) one more pathetic loser.
This movie contains one of the most uncomfortable scenes of two men dancing I've ever watched on screen. Gary Sinise and Anthony Hopkins look ridiculous in this movie. ..

Don't forget to vote tomorrow, it's an important election no matter which side you think is right.

I'll be watching (surprise) CNN's election coverage mainly tomorrow night and giving my remote a workout flipping all over. They have a cool election night setup, with a huge screen giving them up to the minute results all over the country. MSNBC's democracy plaza seems to be kind of a cool place to be tomorrow night too. Not sure what FOX has planned...

The race people have been watching closely here in Minnesota is the Mark Kennedy/Patty Wetterling race. Kennedy, the Republican incumbent has a pretty healthy lead over the challenger and I expect him to win. After a negative campaign initiated by the Republican party trying to tie Mrs. Wetterling to not supporting the war on terror, Kennedy will still win. I thought this ploy would backfire on him, but it apparently won't. Kennedy and the Republicans caught a little flack for this being that Wetterling is a sympathetic figure for what happened to her son, Jacob years ago. I don't agree with others in my party that it was somehow out of bounds for Kennedy to go negative on her. Politics is a dirty game, if you can't give a little back and forth you don't belong in it. ..

The T-wolves start this week, this is the year. They WILL WIN THE NBA CHAMPIONSHIP this year. There, I've made my prediction public...

Here's hoping that whoever wins the election tomorrow night, will do whatever's in their power to keep our troops safe, unite America and end the partisanship and name calling that is the current way in Washington. This goes for both Kerry and Bush...
