Coming soon to a blog near you
This is just a quick update because it’s late, and, well, I’m exhausted. I went to see The Bubble at UMD’s Hillel tonight. It was an intense movie. As Lila said, “Israelis don’t believe in happy endings.” I have to agree. I liked it better than the other Eytan Fox movies I’ve seen, Walk on Water and Yossi and Jagger. I only vaguely remember Walk on Water, and while Yossi and Jagger is an absolutely incredible movie, I thought The Bubble did a better job telling a story and showing the characters grow – even more impressive because there were four main characters to develop, instead of basically only two in Yv’J.
Anyway, here is the plan for the next few days. There are still a couple of posts I want to make about Dems Abroad voting stuff, so hopefully I can fit them in while I also blog about my experiences in the field. I’m going out to Fairfax, VA tomorrow, to start knocking on doors and making phone calls until Sunday. Lindsey (who’s currently in North Carolina) wants us to be in the office on Monday, to work on Turkey stuff, and then we’re both out in VA on election day. Oh, that’s right – I think I mentioned Turkey in one of my posts that got deleted. So for those of you that don’t know, Democrats Abroad is having a global meeting in Turkey after the election, and I get to go! I’m so excited, I don’t know what to do with myself. But let’s not get sidetracked, here. We still have an election to win.
I’ll be commuting out to VA and coming home every night, so expect my reports from the field late each evening from now through Sunday. Then, like I said, it’s back in the office Monday, out in VA again Tuesday. Don’t know how much blogging I’ll get to do Tuesday/Wednesday. For some reason, I think it might be a little hectic. But I’ll catch you guys up on state-side election stories (as opposed to Dems Abroad shenanigans) later in the week and over the weekend.
We leave for Turkey on the 11th, and I’m taking my computer to be able to post the full scoop on the meeting and any adventures I have there. Note to self: Brush up on Turkish. Of course, if there’s no internet access, I’ll write the posts, but I’ll have to wait until I come back on the 17th to put them online.
Then I hold down the fort from the 17th – 26th, while Lindsey stays in Turkey on a vacation with her husband. And then it’s Thanksgiving, I’m back in New York for good, and my life goes back to being boring and non-blog-worthy. It’s crazy how time flies.
