What is everybody doing right now?!?!
I'm sitting here watching the return, drinking some Bud Light, with some Crown Royal off to the side. Also, have some shrimp chilling in the fridge...

what is everyone else doing?

And isn't amazing that the net is traveling like blood in Cheney's body...

5. Updating my icon
I just voted, after getting home from work. My precinct is small, and even though the pool-workers said they had had good turnout, there was no line.

15. Junebug... pizza here too (later tonight)
I was going to get my favorite pizza from "Moose's Tooth Pizza" here in Anchorage... but the roads are too crummy (snowy) to drive all the way across town.

I'm still having pizza later too (if I can eat).. Just not from my favorite place..

My stomach is in knots right now! :crazy:

12. I'm trying to help the effort here
By encouraging people to stay focused to the end (although I know DUers are already doing that), and I'm drinking a Bud, and preparaing for the very real possibility of some partying soon. :)

I would be at my local Dem HQ, but even here in Alabama, more volunteers showed up than were needed, so I went home and decided to hit the internets. :)

18. I'm visiting my kids until 8pm CST - then I go home
Edited on Tue Nov-02-04 06:14 PM by Chimpanzee
where I have 1 bottle of Dom Perignon (1996) and 2 bottles of Veuve Clicquot Brut.

The Veuve is for enjoying the evening with my g/f. The Dom is when Shrub gives his concession speech!

WHOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


BTW, I made sure to take tomorrow off from work. Win or lose I'll be in no mood (or shape) to think straight.

and go to a friend's house to watch the returns. I just looked at some "major" (read "mainstream") news online sites to see what they are saying. Most are blabbing about Bush's West Virginia take. Like, that's surprising? I'm waiting to here about the states we know Kerry is going to take.
