Libertarians...
So I have some good news: apparently the Libertarians in the Indiana gubernatorial election carried 7% of the vote when they were actually expected to get 6%. Last election they got 3%. Very impressive.
They are lead by Andy Horning, who, by all accounts, is a great guy. Hopefully this is just the start and Indiana can start leading the charge for more State's rights and less Federal government.
I am teetering on the edge of starting a short series (like 5 posts) about some of the main Libertarian issues and how they match up to the parts of the liberal and conservative agendas that people like. So if you've ever felt that you like this part of the Republican party but that part of the Democrats, you are either a Libertarian or a hippie. Most people aren't hippies and most don't realize they are actually Libertarians and never knew another party existed that was exactly what they were looking for.
If you have opinion on whether I should do my little series or just shut my stupid face, let me know in the comments.

Crappy-song-that-I-inexplicably-love of the week...
Go ahead and download Beyonce's If I Were A Boy. I did. Of course I want to stab my eardrums out. After I listen to this song again. And again. And again...

Diwali is a festival of lights...
So put on your saris, it's time to celebrate Diwali.
Everybody looks so jolly, but it's not Christmas, it's Diwali.
Mmm... Chakri... (or Chakli if you prefer)

Tech tip of the day...
So I threw it out there awhile back that people should check out Firefox 3 and the number of people checking out my blog with it went up. Smart people.
I've got a new tech tip for you that I've found extremely valuable. If you ever type in your screename for gmail, blogger, your online banking, or anything else, you know the annoyance that goes along with either mistyping your login name or having others use your computer. Fortunately for me, my name "ahow628" is usually at the top of the list. But I still get screwed by the occational "ahos628" from when I wasn't paying much attention.
To combat this, just highlight the name you want removed and hold down Ctrl and press Delete. Poof! Unwanted autofill are gone! This works for anything that pops up below the box you are typing in, including your address, birthday, town, etc when filling out forms.

Biggest Loser (WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!)
Dear Jebus
Thank you so much for all that you did for Biggest Loser last night.
I would especially like to thank you for sending that special angel known as Amy C. down from Heaben to protect the innocent and the black team.
Please work on banishing that debil, Vicky, to the depths of H-E-double-hockey-sticks and please let Brady meet a nice girl to replace her with because he could certainly do better.
Crunches,
Ahow

Incredible Hulk...
So a couple of years ago, I went with Reut, Fubar, Mich, and L-Dogg (I think that was the group) to see Ang Lee's interpretation of the Incredible Hulk. I wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, but it was not good. The thing I remember most about the movie was buying the biggest bucket of popcorn, loading it with the fake butter and eating the whole thing. Then the next day at work, I ruined my shirt because I was sweating pure movie theater popcorn butter.
Fast forward to tonight: I watched the new Edward Norton version of Hulk. Awesome. There were a couple of cheesy "Hulk smash!" type of lines but for the most part, the douche chills were kept to a minimum.
A few highlights: Stan Lee cameo, Lou Ferrigno cameo, the purple pants, and the hungry exchange.
One of the coolest things going on right now is that The Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, and a couple other super heroes are supposed to join Nick Fury in a couple of years to form the Avengers. So far, so good.

My new favorite month...
NOVEMBER!
Turns out that because I work for the State, I get Election Day off. Not to mention I get Veteran's Day and two days for Thanksgiving every year.
Two let downs on my day off:
1) Not getting to cast a legitimate vote - Please see my rant from the other day concerning Indianapolis Water, except please insert Bureau of Motor Vehicles in place of Indianapolis Water. It doesn't make sense, but suffice it to say, they registered me to vote, yet decided actually turning anything in to the State was completely option. And by "completely optional", I mean "not going to happen."
2) Heading over to Fireside Grill for lunch and to salivate over the 20 beers on tap (Abita Turbo Dog!) and the 50 beers in bottles, only to find out they don't serve beer till the polls close at 6pm. BOO BLUE LAWS!!!
Almost lastly, congrats to Obama. I think with democratic majority across the board, this country is going to either be much better off or much worse off, although I'm leaning toward worse. Of course, that could be because I work hard and am preparing to see 10% or more of my dollars disappear in the next 4 years.
I'll give him this much: he promised change, but he certainly didn't specify good or bad, so I can't fault him for whatever happens. Plus, my conscience is clean since I cast my (provisional) ballot for Libertarians anyway.
And lastly, in the gubernatorial election in Indiana, the Libertarian (Andy Horning) ended up pulling about 7% which is more than the 6% he was projected and firmly trounced the 2004 vote get of 3%. Congrats to the Libertarians...
