Novel + Liquor + MSNBC

[triedunture]

It's not the best combination. I'm typing out crap, swilling crap, and watching crap.

OH MY GOD. How am I going to watch 4 more hours of big maps and badly animated graphics!?

Come on, America! Let's get this thing done!

Oh, BTW, I reached my goal of 7200. Now I just wanna see a 270!

7220 / 50000 words. 14% done!

O hai online election party.

BBCA's election coverage has been fun, if devoid of Maddow. (We got Ricky Gervais and Chris Hitchens for the lulz instead).

Good snarky moment - Dimbleby to Republican strategist: "did you predict how much of a pickle McCain was about to get himself into?"

Happy shiny BBC electoral college-y page.

lulz, I got no cable, so I'm stuck with Brian Williams all night. How can I be doing this alone?? Worst idea ever.

[mirien.livejournal.com]

I had to smile at that snark too! I'm glued to the BBCA's coverage too.

I'm using this map nao. It's so shiny!

WTF, Georgia!? I thought we agreed you wouldn't suck anymore?

Dude, I wish I had friends to drink with while watching this. Wanna be psychic drinking buddies? :) I'm in a computer lab writing a paper, but I'm procrastinating by constantly refreshing CNN, Fox News and MSNBC's (and now BBC's as well, thank you very much) websites. Also Comedy Central's Indecision 2008 website (tagline: "Something approximating election news with something approximating honesty" XD) because I want fair and balanced speculation.

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

I just want honest lulz! Also, your paper and my novel will go something like this:

"The dialectic argument represented by Schopenhauer's work could best be described as Pennsylvania is blue, Penn has gone blue! OMFG."

AND

"Leon was thinking deeply deep novel thoughts, thoughts you might find in America's next great novel when all of a sudden Florida finally got called. Polls closed and it's getting called for Obama. Then Leon got on the train and left Bangkok."

Oh boy, BBCA just wheeled out Simon Schama and John Bolton. "The Walrus and the Carpenter" indeed...

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

Who the fuck are those guys? Bolton? OH GOD, not the old UN dude with the unfortunate mustache!?

Is he still alive?

*Keep all my fingers and toes crossed*

My combination: Tea, ice cream and several german TV channels. No snark, just professional journalism.

Damn, I should be in bed, I have to work tomorrow. But it's so agitating, I'm nearly biting my fingernails. :)

Welcome to the nervous insomniac club! *chest bump* That's how my people say FUCK YEAH OHIO.

[magentadoll.livejournal.com]

Ooooh! I'm actually really nervous and excited and I don't even live in America. I wish I did so I could have gotten those free Obama buttons. Also Obama condoms which I want simply for the lulz.

Also I have some nice champagne my neighbours gave me even though I'm underage that you can have. *e-sends*

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

I have some elitist imported lambic to break open at the end of this. YES I DO.

I'd gladly send Obama pins abroad, but I gave them all to undecided friends and family.

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Iowa for Obama!

Popular vote looks like a bit of a squeaker.

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

Florida is juuuuuust slightly tipping for Obama. That might be an indication of how Amendment 2 goes. Here's hoping!

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Yay on the 7200!

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

None of it makes sense. There aren't even any verbs. But whatever! What do you want from me?? I'm dying here!

*bounces*

[cerublu02.livejournal.com]

HI! Congrats on 7200! still at 207...for 270. That's a lot of 7s and 2s and 0s!

Florida still just tipping scale for Obama...

I'm bouncing all over the place...physically and thought-wise. I wonder how many people will be zombie-ish tomorrow morning?

Re: *bounces*

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

OMG!!!!!! They are calling it!!

Re: *bounces*

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

I predict there will be a lot of Britons walking the streets tomorrow looking like zombies after pulling allnighters.

West Coast comin' up!

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Concession speech. Ooh boy.

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

"I have always been a fortunate man." YEAHRITE.

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

It is so upsetting to see the sort of people that his campaign attracted. How can you boo your own man? He's trying to do the right thing! FUCK.

McCain gets a thumbs up from me. I still like you, McCain, and I miss the real you.

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

Gah. One cloud on the horizon.

Prop 8 is looking like it'll pass.

I know. HOW.

[cerublu02.livejournal.com]

*headdesk* I CANNOT COMPREHEND.

[cerublu02.livejournal.com]

OBAMA FAMILY HAS TEH CUTENESS!

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

AHAHAHA WHITE HOUSE PUPPY.
