voting

i just early voted...i'm not typically that political but i do especially encourage fellow tennesseans to vote as the state constitutional amendment #1 is pretty "gay" (constitutionally banning gay marriage even though they're already not legal anyway...just to make 'em more VERY not legalER...) there's not much of a choice for senator or governor, but there's a representative worth voting for (i.e. a democrat that isn't "moderate" and might as well be a republican anyway...) after voting i got my oil changed and then while i was in the area i stopped by the library bookstore on impulse, obtaining: Forty Stories by Donald Barthelme, Lord Jim by Joseph Conrad, The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway, Three Famous Short Novels: Spotted Horses, Old Man, The Bear by William Faulkner, Speak, Memory by Vladimir Nabokov, A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole (a book i read way back in high school but have never had my own copy...so it's nice to pick up for a dollar...), and Compound Fractured French (wacky "translations" and pictures...before i got it i thought they were read baudy translations, but now that i'm home it seems to be mostly commond french-phrases with joke translations relating to the pictures which is less funny...oh well...)
