I get in from CDG at 10 AM excited to see my bro. I get to his roo, and he promptly: a) chews me out for waking him up before 1, b) informs me he got a fixie for Christmas, c) puts on a purple vneck and d) starts lecturing me about vinyl. In the Allen household we go all out. |

I love my new job, I get to spend tons of time listening to people discuss public policy. But once a week there is a particularly great presentation. Last week it was a presentation on how courts interpret legislative intent and this week it was a presentation on how bond markets work. But alas the legislative session only lasts six months. |

Now that I am unemployed I can finally post on my lj again. Turns out the caucus threatened to fire anyone who blogged and while I didn't believe them, I decided not to take a risk. First things first: we won. At this point I am comfortable calling it a thrashing. With half our district reporting we are up 57-43.
The last six months have been exhausting. I've take a grand total of ten days off. Things that happened over the campaign:
-I got propositioned at the door
-I petted my first horse
-I knocked 4500 doors
-Strangers offered me cake, candy, vegetables and soda
- I've had beer with complete strangers in their garages within minutes of meeting them (twice!)
- Knocked on doors that have never been canvassed (rural areas even Jehovah's Whiteness don't consider dense enough)
- I've gotten to see the debate over land use planning in some communities (Damascus)
Yet the most rewarding aspect of my work was the conversations. Thousands of people who had no idea who I was took the time not just to listen but to talk to me and that is pretty damn cool. Also, holy shit a black dude whose middle name is Hussein just took 52% of the vote. |

Ugh, I am burned out. 18 days sounds like an eternity. |

So I just came in third in the 2008 Oregon punditology game. 257 readers predicted the outcome of 28 races and I came in third(correctly predicting 21 of them). But alas, Ben DuPree won. |

Dear Reed friends,

I'd forgotten how much I love poetry. |
