Krispy Creme is giving away a free donut.

What else is going on tomorrow?

(Sorry for you non-USians, politics rears it ugly head again. Barack Obama is being sworn in as the 44th president of the USA tomorrow.)

I live 15-20 minutes out of DC. I am not leaving the house tomorrow for NOTHIN'. They're gonna have all the roads so backed up with traffic I'm just gonna sit inside and watch it on TV. Kinda sad, actually.

Working and streaming it live on the computer. I have no other real choice unless my boss lets me log in from home.

Laughing at those out in the cold, while I watch it from a better view in a nice warm living room on television.

Unlike most obama voters, I actually have a job which requires my attendance (albeit not my full attention, obviously). Somebody somewhere in the building will probably tune it in on one of the TVs or stream it, and I may go have a look, but I doubt I'll be able to put up with the whole thing.

Unlike most conservatives I actually have a soul which requires-wait I sold that for a Kit Kat bar and two bags of skittles. Well damn there goes my point . . .

Anyway like any "Real American" who isn't just a sore loser or so hyper-partisan they can't recognize that it's still an amazing event and a source of national pride (any inauguration, but IMO especially Obama's) I'll be watching it on TV and delivering at least a small amount of respect to the office.

Edit: and also using your clever GIF to make people get dizzy and fall over, credit where credit's due.

That's right, him having brown skin completely negates what terrible consequences would normally have befallen us for electing a socialist freshly churned out from the chicago political machine who has spent his entire life seeking the company of communists, racists and radicals. :roll: Please. Go have your little party, and enjoy it while it lasts.

Gad, I love fresh meat. They never read where I'm from.

I'm right down the street from you. (Quite literally. I'm a town or two over.)
And I'm not going anywhere NEAR that mess.
I agree... Kinda sad.

I do get the day off for it though.... all teachers on all counties bordering DC seem to.

Yes, and the consequences for electing a dottering old fool who's half a heartbeat from death's door and his sidekick, Moosehunter Barbie are sooooo much better.

I hardly think McCain is a doddering old fool and Palin is not a Barbie. Barbies have more brains. They do have some things in common, though. Both rely on others to purchase their wardrobes, for instance.

Only slightly less awful. As I often said, the choice in the final election was the choice of shooting ourselves or stabbing ourselves. Once the choice is made, we're still faced with what we've chosen, and only silly, shallow people see it as cause for jubilation.

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who finally realize that we didn't elect them - not because they're black - but because they're fucking nutjobs.

You can catch me at Varsity Grille a little ways off campus dining with a novel occasionally. Good food, and they let me read without bugging me too much. (I live alone, so I eat out by myself from time to time.) :aaahhh:

It IS interesting how people can pass people they "know" without knowing though.

Hmh... Attend seminar classes, try to find some usable sources on Marina Warner and the use of Caliban in postcolonial literature, maybe eat at Subway, go to training if I feel like it. Maybe catch a mention of the inauguration in the news.

If by the end of the day the world has not been reduced to radioactive rubble, get online and chat before hitting the sack.

To the matter at hand, I'm a genius -- after reading this thread I proceeded directly to make a vet appointment for tomorrow. D'oh! Luckily when I called back to reschedule and explained why, the tech just laughed and said she completely understood.

(Just a checkup and vaccine booster; obviously I'd never delay a visit if the cats were actually ill.)
