Last Thursday after work, shep. and I toddled off to the Carrboro Town Hall to vote early. Unfortunately for us, there was no early voting at Carrboro Town Hall this time around. So we got in the car and drove into the CH and voted early at Morehead Planetarium instead. As we were walking from…

do you think it’s gonna make him change
I got my hair cut this weekend. 2011 project: self-portraits in every venue bathroom in the Triangle. I’ll title them all with Pavement lyrics when I show the series. Thinking.
