One More Philly Vote for Obama!
I got up at 6:30am this morning and made it to the polling place at 7:10. Already the line was out the door and around the corner, but thanks to the efficiency of the poll workers, I had cast my vote by 7:50, (I was #64, yay!).

BSG Finale
Earth: it's still better than New Caprica:
Lots of intense stuff in this episode. And the music was off the hook. And Adama Sr's breakdown! That was incredible. My heart still bleeds.
