I saw this video posted on my flist multiple times today. As I mentioned on Tuesday night/Wednesday early morning, right after Obama's victory speech I went with Roommate A and her fiance to Union Square just to be part of the celebrating crowd.

But it has a very nice dark-red leather (?) cover and the pages of the book have been made to appear old, with ( Read more... )

Tuesday, November 14, after dragging myself to work from the red-eye flight I took on Monday night:

ziasudra: *stumbles into office, half alseep*

Boss: Go online and book a ticket from New York to Cleveland right now.
