If I lived close to DC I could see trying it, but it is going to be comfy here in the lazy boy with feet up and snacks. It is incredible how many people are already on the mall.

This is me! I'm listening to NPR and watching CNN (muted) with my laptop and I'm doing legal research during the down moments. Snacks will be out shortly!

Colin Powell is a big old mushball too.

On Cheney, I can't wish the kind of pulled back muscle that puts you in a wheelchair on anyone, but I just want him wheeled out of town and may I never see his sneer again. The joy of this era finally being over matches my joy of seeing this new era arriving.

sarameg and Taylor have been here and gone . . . if they were able to get on a train they should just about be arriving at Union Station.

I just want him wheeled out of town and may I never see his sneer again.

Huh. I only just realized. He's fully transformed into Mr. Potter.

OBAMA!

Timelies all!

Despite being in Metro distance, I am going to watch the proceedings on tv. (The combination of the weather and the fact that G is out of town led to this decision)

so quiet this morning...are we all watching TV/listening to the radio?

I have to run to the gym. I'm a little annoyed at having to go into work, today. I'm definitely going to have to be late so I can see the swearing in.

I'm watching CNN.com live on the Mac. There are two TVs tuned to regular CNN, but my desk is too far away to actually watch them.

Who's ready to see me disown my family? I just got a racist email from my cousin's husband that said, "Relax! When was the last time you saw an African American (outside of professional sports) keep a job for four years?" First fucking thing this morning and I have to tell this asswipe to keep me off his fucking email list or I will drive over to Indiana and kick his redneck ass all over the place.

Fucking asshole.

And this totally ruined the mood I had set watching the crowds gather on the Mall.
