Yay Leverage night!
Has anyone figured out who Rahm was (thumbing his nose at) gesturing to? I'm dying to know.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm currently struck with how lucky young girls today are to have Michelle Obama and Jill Biden to look up to.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I found out this evening that the sales manager at my gym is on the lam. The cops searched his house and found a pot growing operation--including a pound of processed buds (no idea what this means) and TWENTY FIVE plants, along with grow lights and other equipment.
Dude.

Sounds like it sucks to be him.

The status is NOT quo.
I'm watching Obama and Michelle at the Youth Inaugural Ball right now, and they're making me want to swoon and cry at the same time. Could they be more in love? Gods, it's nice to see.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Dude. If you go to the "Sasha Obama's Sassiest Moments" over at Huffington Post, you see that she went for Halloween as the Corpse Bride.
Sweet.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I love them together, but I do not love the dress. I just saw her get entangled in it while dancing, plus it looks particularly lumpy from the side with the one shoulder.
I love your account of the day, Sarameg, and it's great to "meet" T and see y'all together.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Today was kind of amazing. The feeling in the air... just amazing.
So I found out that Franny's whole school watched the inauguration together in the auditorium. I think it's great that they took the time to do that.

I stayed at my friend's house for the day watching the events on tv (the other two guests left after the benediction). Had loads of fun toasting every significant moment with champagne, from the swearing in to waving bye-bye to W.
Just got all caught up on the 600+ posts here--you guys do the best watch-n-posts!!
MSNBC has intermittent ball coverage. I loved our president trying to find a White Sox fan amongst the Chicagoans he was talking with in Afghanistan while at the C-in-C ball, and then when he introduced Michelle and she didn't come out right away, he said, "I think I've been stood up!" And then, after they had their dance there, a military member of each gender got to dance with them. The woman dancing with Barack was having fun, but the guy dancing with Michelle seemed a bit nervous.
