Primary Day!!!!!

Do you have a primary? Are you voting in it? Did you get up half an hour early to vote in it only to be half an hour early to work somehow? That's right, voting takes negative time!

Anyway, guys, primaries are fun and important so you should make sure to vote in them if your area has one and you're eligible.

Well! I don't pay enough attention to politics. I don't even know who's running for what or when it's time to vote or anything like that. I'd feel more irresponsible than I already do if I cast a vote without even knowing who the hell I'm voting for. Most of my free time is spent procrastinating and trying to convince myself to do homework. No time for politics!

Yeah, if I wasn't involved I'd probably have no clue who was running for what. But! In NYC, my very agency puts out a Voter Guide with statements from everyone running in your district about their qualifications and priorities. It's not a surefire way to vote for the right person, but at least it's something.

Of course, I'm not at all involved in putting out the Voter Guide but i think it's probably the most important thing we do here. I think more places should have something like that.

But yeah, I see where you're coming from.

Hey speaking of procrastination, have you watched any Avengers?

I watched the first 10 minutes of the Avengers episode you linked me to and then my dad distracted me and I forgot. :(

:(

I don't think there's even much Emma Peel in the first 10 minutes!
