Election 2004: Good News, Bad News

I love the internet. It's election night, and I'm listening to NPR's coverage on KUOW. How cool is that? Unfortuntately, the election news looks pretty bad. The good news? We have a guest room, so come on down.

It's been crazy busy the last few days. We moved to our new place (a three level townhouse in Parnell) on Sunday. Yesterday I managed to vote at the American Consulate, and we got Customs clearance for our stuff. (The last step before we can get possession will be on Monday, when we get inspected by the Ministry of Agriculture to make sure we aren't bringing any nasties in from the outside world). Today I registered for classes (International Trade Regulation and International Environmental Law), which start in the fall (March 1st). We've also been shopping for household basics (how did I ever live without an electric kettle?) and looking at tons of furniture. Ali's even started looking at used cars. The joys of so much shopping have been sending us on a regular basis to the Shakespeare Pub for a coldie, where the house-brewed ale is the headache remedy of choice for this weary consumer.

Cheers,
Sandie
