Unable to do anything more, she just yells across the ocean at America:

PLEASE. GO. VOTE.

(very much preferably for Obama, but it's your choice.)

Don't be thoughtless or apathetic! GO. You shouldn't complain about the economy or the country or the government later on unless you participate now...


(I would be surprised if those you who regularly read this need a reminder, but this is me just kind of sending willpower at America in general, not at anyone in particular. Sorry if it's annoying.)

This is going to be interesting. And a terrible time for me to have to work on a paper and have double class time (overlap of first and second half term classes, for some weird Italian reason of oversight), since I'll just want to watch the news. Recently, I've had most Italians in the street who actually ask me where I'm from start giving me lectures about how they want Obama to win and don't like McCain/Palin. They don't know very much about it, but still don't like McCain/Palin. And then another customer comes along and I stop being interesting to them in favor of money.

Anyway. GO VOTE if you haven't already.
