Not feeling terribly original or articulate. Guess I�ll do one of these:

Went to Iowa this weekend. Now is a good time to be there; I always love Iowa in the autumn. The changing of the seasons is more immediately apparent amidst the trees and the open roads of my small hometown than it is here in the city. But it's starting to set in here as well. Call me crazy, but I jump for joy¹ when I wake up in the morning and see that it�s fifty degrees outside.

So anyway, the weekend was good and included all the requisite elements: cramming three hundred beers into my face with Leah and Ransom, dinner with my Mom, watching a mediocre episode of SNL with Margaret. I just started reading Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs by Chuck Klosterman, which should be a good read, seeing as how it�s written by someone frighteningly similar to me² and targeted precisely at my demographic.

Also looking forward to³ the VP debates tomorrow night. It's going to be a tough contest, seeing as how both cadidates are equally charismatic.

That�s all.

¹ Not literally, of course. In this context, "jump for joy" means "take a shower and get dressed".

² In this context, "frighteningly similar to" means "slightly older, much smarter, and a great deal more successful than".

³ In this context, "looking forward to" means "dreading".
