Heat, Vampyres

The heat in our house here in Baltimore stopped working while I was in CT. A repair guy came yesterday, but it only worked for a couple hours and then conked out again. He was supposed to come again today, but never showed. Luckily it's not that cold outside at the moment, but the temperature in here is in the low 50s, which is pretty cold for inside your house.


Lest all my blog time be spent whining, I direct your attention to this hilarious yet remarkably earnest interview with the "vampyre" candidate for Minnesota governor. The whole thing seems a lot less jokey after he mentions at the end of the interview that his wife was fired from her job as a school bus driver as soon as press coverage of his candidacy revealed her pagan beliefs. I realize there's a fair amount of shock value in finding out your kid's bus driver is a satan worshipper, but she sounds pretty innocuous to me, and she had held the job (apparently without incident) for 5 years.
