A lefty answer is all I've got

Nov 04, 2008 23:27

So, I'm having a good old-fashioned 'catch up with NaNo'/'watch the US election results come in' party. By which I mean it's me, David Dimbleby (on BBC), pilfered Diet Coke and Goldfish Crackers. (I'm CJ-ing all over the place ( Read more... )

*g* This is very much what I'm doing, albeit without goldfish crackers (where do you even get those? I was so disappointed when they didn't sell them in Vancouver ...). I wrote about 150 words of T/S then gave in and came downstairs for the coverage. I'm suffering Christopher Hitchens; I'd better get Schiff in recompense. ;)

103 to 34 BABY! :DDD

*g* Deli in Covered Market. When Mommy was here... (Brother2 got Lucky Charms, so I got Goldfish Crackers. And Peanut Butter Cups, but I've already eaten those ;) )

I'm not getting much writing done, plus G came back and has popped his head in occasionally from 'sleep' to see how we're going. I just don't want to get excited too early :|

(Except I totally am. The first bit, when McCain was ahead, with all of three states projected, freaked me out)

AWESOME. Oh, Oxford, I <3 you.

Mum's got her second wind now (after promising me she'd go to bed at half-twelve) so I've got zero work done. But I don't know, NaNo pep talk plus (hopefully) ongoing good news in the election? Could mean lots of twitchy, caffeine-laden energy. ;)

(I know. I was all: why does McCain's name have to be on top, s'not fair not fair! Because we haz irrationality. *g*)

If nothing else, the red cups are back in Starbucks tomorrow. Gingerbread Lattes for all! Mostly me.

(Oh, I meant to say, since we're talking about Oxford, that on top of my last email, we can of course do London as well as Oxford things. I can do theatre eeeverywhere)

Ack. Georgia's gonna be called for McCain.

Actually this is what I'm doing (sadly minus the goldfish crackers. Okay it's me, my laptop, ABC TV and a big mug of tea. Though there are some cupcakes in the oven) *grins*

Peanut butter cups ftw (there's a sweetshop that sells British and American sweets that I've never been glader for). And POSITIVITY (Obama took Ohio).

*sends NaNo vibes*

Cupcakes! *covets* I wish I could bake. Is it hard? I'm okay with the recipe parts - it's the parts involving any kind of discretion....

Positivity right back :) Though NaNo is still kicking my ass, so at least I have not-depressing things to watch.

It's not hard as a basic recipe, but the ones I made I riffed a bit (I played around with the contents and so forth). Baking in general - it's not hard, with practice (and it's good in that usually you have directions to follow pretty closely). Except sponge cakes, which I is fail at ;)

I has no Nano (or rather, if it makes you feel better I have only 700 words of mine), but a lot of tea. And 24 pages of exam revision notes.
