I am officially a resident of the District of Columbia. Yesterday I turned in my New York State driver’s license for one from the District of Columbia, along with DC plates for my car. (Since September, I’ve been driving around with a single New Mexico plate that expired in February 2006.)

Thanks to the Motor Voter form, I also registered to vote in the District. Perfect timing, too: the mayoral election was last year, my Congressional representative cannot vote, no representation in the Senate, and in 2004, John Kerry won DC’s three electoral votes with 89% of the vote – so my vote in the District of Columbia won’t matter for a long time.

Oh yeah, I’m now an organ donor for the first time – I probably don’t have any use for anything after I’m dead.
