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!

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.

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."

LOL.

Another lol? Brian Williams passive-aggressive reporting: "Why are we not reporting on a big McCain party? Uh, it's invite-only at the Biltmore. Just saying." :D

According to Poincaré, the best mathematicians have an "intuition of mathematical order" (Poincaré in Ghiselin, p. 24) that is essential in being able to come up with realistic campaign slogans, choosing vice presidential running mates that don't fall for prank calls for seven minutes and shoot wolves from helicopters, and may I reiterate my complete frustration with the candidates' positions on novel combinations of ideas in order to create new formulae, and this intuition makes up for any lack of memory or attention to detail that the pundits mathematicians may have.

Grr. This is hard. I keep wanting to cite polling data in my analysis.

No, I know. I'm kind of fighting the urge to replace my novel's hero with a dashing young man of mixed race who grew up in an exotic locale and...

OH SHIT. I'M JUST WRITING A GAY AUSTRALIAN OBAMA BIO.

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

ROTFLMAO.

OHIO! OHIO! THAT WAS MY STATE TO VOLUNTEER CALL. I DID IT! THAT WAS ME!

:O O NOES. You know what? Screw this paper. I'm e-mailing it to my laptop and going to watch election coverage in the lounge next to my dining hall with the rest of my college.

*fist pump in air* GO FOR IT! This is our generation's moonwalk, yo! The Armstrong one, not the Jackson one, although that was pretty awesome too. You know what I mean? Let's watch this shit!
