I'm still trying to arrange a weekend to come back to Grand Rapids to visit my dear friends. As of this time, it appears to be the weekend immediately following halloween - that of November 3,4, and 5 (which just happens to be someone's 24th).
Things here are fine. We're making money and supporting ourselves. I haven't exactly done any of the fun things which that supported my decision to move in the first place. In fact, last Wednesday we were sitting around bored and all the while I had forgotten that jenny lewis was playing at the vic and joseph arthur was playing just down the street from us. I was fairly upset about it the next day.
I'm back at northwestern for my second, 'last day of work.' Tomorrow I will be sending my resume all over town while I sit in the library all afternoon. And while I'm making enough money to support myself, not having a steady, full-time income is getting me down.
Lately we've been very homesick for our native city and for our friends. I watched part of the granholm / devos debate online. His opening statements were such shit. I'm not sure I'd be able to handle it if I had to watch all the negative campaigning on television. I'm glad she's ahead in the polls; I do have to say I'm a bit surprised by the numbers. Tonight at Aquinas there is a supposed debate between David LaGrand and Bill Hardiman (if he should show up). I wish I could see or hear this. If you are in Grand Rapids with nothing to do tonight, you may want to check it out.
Netflix has been treating us well, Monday night we watched 'thumbsucker.' I liked it (despite vince vaughn and keanu reeves) but xtina did not. Next on the queue: 'thank you for smoking' and 'brick,' followed by xtina's first viewing of 'clerks.'
it's raining here again today. the acid rain leaves a residue that simply won't come off the car.

The.ads.are.out.of.control.
As far as the polls go, I think it's hilarious that DeVos has spent about $20 million dollars and she's spent (w/out the Dem. party money-which still only amounts to about $4 million) only $2 million and is still up.
The debates are simultaneously entertaining and infuriating. Last night she FINALLY said that her economic plan will take time-something she should have said a long time ago. And he has yet to spell out any specific plans for anything. He spends his whole time trying to remember what his ads say and then repeating that. He talks like Bush: you sense he has no comprehension of what he's saying and what he's saying is only soundbites and spin.
She'll win.
I hope.
