Monday: started my day with some lemon yogurt with granola, watched Mario Party Jamboree on my breaks, and got out on time with no issues. After work, we pulled on jackets and walked to the bar for Quizzo, where one of Julie's bocce teammates was waiting for us. Despite the extra brain, we still only tied for third place, and we did not distinguish ourselves in the tiebreaker round. The trivia question that caused me the most agony: what were the German mercenaries who fought against the Americans during the Revolutionary War? Hessians. I should have remembered that. At least it was nice to have pizza again, for once.
Saturday: since Mom wanted to do a little more shopping, we walked with her around Passyunk, with a couple of stops to get photos of some of the houses that were especially decorated for Halloween. We had stops in South Fellini, Occasionette, and Tildie's Toy Box. Once we were tired of walking around, we loaded into the car for a quick tour of our local haunts, i.e. our Acme store and a parking lot where you can see the S.S. United States. After getting back home and taking some time to recover from our travels, we walked down to Juana Tamale for dinner, though the level of spice and the size of the taco salad proved unmanageable for Mom. I at least enjoyed my chicken quesadilla. I felt like we needed to do something a little extra to make up for dinner, so I recommended we stop in an ice creamery of some sort; I think we settled on D'Emilio's Old World Ice Treats? Julie and I got gelatis that had surprising levels of whipped cream atop them. Once we got home, we went through the first half-dozen episodes of Ghosts for her, which she really enjoyed. It was a nice night.

Julie posted an update on livejournal:
"I voted on Saturday since Kansas has early voting. I don't understand why every state doesn't. It was wonderful. And really, with early voting, there is NO reason that anyone can have for not voting. That's just sheer laziness when the state gives you at least a week to mosey over and push a touch screen. I wish Kansas had fun props to vote on, like stem cell research, gay marriage and medicinal marijuana. Although this is a red state so I'm sure they'd all be voted down.
"I have an anatomy exam tomorrow so I will spend the night studying and hopefully not hitting refresh on cnn.com every two seconds. Maybe I should disconnect my modem. On a side note, I hate head and neck anatomy. There is too much going on up there. Way too much. After this exam we start on the organs! We cracked open the thorax yesterday to play with the lungs. They are squishy - I likened to them to a stress ball. Kristen's cadaver was missing his left lung, either surgically removed or he never had one. He did die of pneumonia, so that one lung left was screwed.
"Kirstie Alley was back in the store on Sunday with a posse. She clearly put no effort into her appearance, but hell, I can't blame her - this is Wichita. Half the customers seemed to notice who she was (she does have a distinctive voice) and the others didn't. I know I don't pay attention to other people when I'm shopping.
"Also, :( for the Pistons trading Chauncey, and :D for U of M being denied a bowl game for the first time in 33 years!"
