Kerry Rally and New Photos Section
Tue, 2004-11-02 16:06 — jrearick
Well, Friday, I didn't see Ann Coulter, and by the time 11:00 PM rolled around, I felt I was too tired to try to make it to a midnight show. I watched West Wing, organized some things so I knew where I was going on Saturday and made plans to pick up Gaila in Boone and Colin on the way past Ames.
Saturday, I actually got up in the morning. I had to pick up Gaila in Boone when she dropped her car off at the tire shop. Filled up with gas back in Ames (at 1.89 vs. 1.77 in Ankeny, grr). We dropped Colin's car off in the Menards parking lot in Ankeny.
The rally was cool. I got a few pictures that I published online for you to see.
During the security check I actually emptied my inside coat pocket for the first time. I thought about unloading it before leaving, but eh. All the items in my pocket are not in a comfortable position anymore.
Ashton Kutcher was the first to take the stage. He actually was a better speaker than I would have expected. He talked a little bit about his experiences growing up in Iowa. Bon Jovi didn't say much, but gave a good performance. We also caught Peter Jennings watching the event. During Kerry's speech, someone in the crowd collapsed. Jennings helped as state troopers dealt with the problem. This didn't stop the speech though.
After the event we ate at Wendy's in the Menards parking lot in Ankeny, hung out at Super Target, and played checkers at Starbucks while sipping on hot cocoa and warm cider. Colin, then, headed home while Gaila and I went to Indianola to see Mel.
The play was interesting, as is just about every production. I think I understood this one more than a lot of the others. Afterwards Galia and I went down to Mel's place to hang out. I have to say, her roommates are quite the group of people. I got some cake there, so it's all good. After everything I dropped Gaila off at her car in Boone. Estimated mileage for the day: around 200.
Sunday, I relaxed for a while. Then cleaned the gutters and raked the yard. Monday, I foget what happened Monday, probably wasn't important.
Today I registered for my spring classes. I need to see my advisor about getting into the MIS program from business undeclared so I can sign up for MIS courses. I did not have a problem filling my schedule this semester. I was even able to sign up for Religion 105, but decided to not take it since it would not satisfy any graduation requirements that haven't already been filled (Thank you Anthropology). If I get into MIS 331 I will drop my CRP 270 class and take Religion 210 next fall to satisfy my US Diversity.
Tonight, after class, I will vote, eat dinner and meet my TrLog group in the library to organize our project. This reminds me that I should start thinking about starting my History paper about the effects Christianity had on science in the middle ages.
Anyway, I have work to do. Enjoy the pics and don't forget to vote.
