Thoughts Through the Fingertips

There was an election today. I voted. I boycotted all news coverage and spent the evening watching a movie. Tomorrow I will go out to the end of the driveway, retrieve the morning paper, and learn the name of the person who will grace the Oval Office for the next four years. Or perhaps I won't. The newspaper may well lie. Remember the famous picture of Truman holding up a paper with the headline "Dewey Defeats Truman"? Well, we shall see.
In other and possibly more important news, Opus has concluded its run as a comic strip today.

Unfurnished

Hi :) Welcome. Its just an empty room. There's nothing hung on the walls yet. They haven't even been painted, with the exception of the usual builders' eggshell white. You can still smell those fumes. As you stepped inside, you probably noticed with surprise the noise that your footfalls made on the floor. If you should speak, your voice will echo, here in the empty space, careening off of the bare walls, speeding heavenward toward the vaulted ceiling...
