Since it's our field, we've got TVs everywhere and I've already confirmed with our department head that we'll have ours tuned to the inauguration.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
If the office is open tomorrow, we'll be showing the inauguration in the lunch room. If not, I'll probably be watching it on my upstairs neighbor's big new flat screen tv. Either one would be good.

I'm surprised our office hasn't said anything about the bandwidth issue. I told my boss I was working from home tomorrow and why. He just smiled and said cool. Once again, I LOVE my new job.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
my work has not done a damn thing. Almost everyone I know has something arranged at their offices, or some acknowledgment. us, nothing.
We haven't arranged anything. My office is lame. I stand in solidarity with you. So I'll either crash our network, or go downstairs to the lunchroom that's for our entire 7-floor, 2-tower building (not very big, only one 19-inch TV on an arm on the wall).
One of my co-workers is coming in to work at 8, working 3 hours, and then going home for the day to watch the festivities.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Y'all'd seen this?
It's not that Barack isn't allowed to look that hot. It's that, dude, he had to be looking that hot when I was living not even an hour away?

We are hosting a viewing event at my work, but I'm on the public service desk from 11-1, and the computers there don't play nice with most streaming video (as I learned election night). Oh well, at least I can read the watch n post.
I take it NC is expecting actual snow? We have a 40% chance of flurries, and I am expecting bupkis. I did learn that Stone Mountain Park manufactures snow, so we may have to visit - Casper recently burst out crying "I'll never see snow ever again" on being informed it was snowing in Boston (again). Ah, melodrama.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
The coffee shop is bringing in a tv so I get coffee and swearing in .
I think a lot of the confusion about Obama's stand on certain issues is that he is willing to put off one fight for something that is a bigger fight.
my big hopes for the Obama presidency are
- please make the US look less stupid to the world
- even a tiny step away from oil dependence

Poor Casper. We're expecting an inch or four, with all the usual madness -- I'd love snow but nsm the hassles, so I kind of wish it would snow enough to actually shut things (by which I mean work) down, or not at all.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
