Happy birthday Hil! (And belated to Jess!)
That's fabulous news, Erin. Go you!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Wonderful news, Erin! (But boo stupid pissy guy at the school district, and I hope that's the last you need to see of him.)
Happy birthday, Hil!
The margin for a recount is .5% and it's currently at .29% -- otoh, the remaining precincts are Begich-friendly enough that he could conceivably get past the recount margin before they're done.
Is the recount margin the same everywhere, or different for different states? In Minnesota the vote is even narrower--1.12 million votes for both candidates with only 260 separating them.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Is the recount margin the same everywhere, or different for different states? In Minnesota the vote is even narrower--1.12 million votes for both candidates with only 260 separating them.
It's set by the states, but most of the ones I've heard of are around .5 percent, or else some fixed number of votes. The MN race is already being recounted.
(eta: looking for an up-to-date list of what the different states do, and the only one I'm finding so far is from 2004, and there have been a lot of changes since.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Birthday Hil!
YAY Erin!
JZ, did you get my email from a couple of days ago? I need to figure out what to do with the Lucinda tickets if you can't go.

Because books.
YAY, ERIN! ::throws confetti::
Happy birthday, Hil! I hope there are cupcakes.

Happy birthday Hil.
And happy birthday ... Jess was it? I know I missed some in there.
You know, the local paper ran a competition for the best cupcakes in the area. Had to do taste tests of cupcakes from every place that makes them. sigh ... why can't I get a job like that?
And, to show how they know their audience, the Sunday arts section ran a large photo of Daniel Craig. With a caption confessing that there was no particular reason to run it, except something along the lines of "look at him!"

Happy Birthday Hil!
I want cupcakes.
We have three birthdays in a row this week (at my office) - today, tomorrow and Saturday (mine!). So we're having cake today and I hope it's cupcakes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yay Erin!
Thanks for the birthday happies, everyone.
I've got to get dressed and go to my office and grade some quizzes. I so don't want to.
