Updated: Get out and vote! 2012 Presidential Election

Sweden is HYPED up about the election in the US.  My neighbor pulled me aside and asked if I had voted for "the good guy" and Jon is being cornered at work with his co-workers' own opinions about who should win the election.

We sent in our absentee ballots a month ago, so we already voted but we are still ready to watch the excitement and chaos on tv.  Apparently Sweden's Channel 1 will cover the event so we don't have to worry about missing any of the action.  We are headed to bed early tonight so we can wake up at 3am to catch our episode of House Hunter's International.  It should be an interesting night!!

Update:
The election coverage on Sweden's Channel 1, naturally,  is all in Swedish...not much help.  I'll be tuning into CNN international and Al Jazeera English.

@Sweden gets some heat this week

Sweden has been in the news recently and not in a good way. It is always interesting to read about the country we are living in and have it mocked by one of my favorite comedians, Stephen Colbert.  Curators of Sweden hands over the @Sweden Twitter account every week to a new Swede for them to tweet their experiences and show the world their perspective on life.  It has been really interesting to follow and we have been loyal readers of the various "curators" of @sweden since we moved here.  My personal favorites were the lesbian truck driver
