Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Our wings are not tired.

Adorable, lisah!

Did you see that Lucas is donating all $4 billion from the sale to Disney to education?!?

That was a beautiful thing to see.

Speaking of beautiful, 2 of the daughters of nail techs at my SIL's nail salon put up a lemonade/cookie stand in front of her shop today to raise funds for Sandy victims and they have raised over $600 so far! My other SIL lives in Staten Island (she drives an ambulance) and she is going to give the contributions to one of the local groups there that is doing a ton of good on the ground. The grocery store in the same complex as the nail salon donated a bunch of baked goods to sell too.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Me too, me too!

Okay, lisah!

And aww, puppy!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Someone brought water and cookies. Then someone loudly joked that we all had to pay ten dollars for the water. Someone else asked if his name was Romney. Everyone had a good laugh.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

That's a good story, Laura.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Are you still in line, tommyrot??

Aw, that's nice, Laura.

People: If you like sauerkraut, I highly recommend making your own. Super-easy, and you can do it to your liking!

Oh man, just got a John McCain robocall, and he could not sound less enthusiastic about his GOTV message.

Still in line. The outer line. Dunno how long the inner line is. Maybe an hour or two to go.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Android would not be the reason you can't use it overseas. Just check with your carrier.

Everyone is right to say, though--a phone that doesn't use SIM cards here isn't going to spring a slot abroad. It depends on what kind of technology the phone uses for service, whether or not the phone is unlocked, and other stuff that your phone company are in the best place to answer authoritatively.

The people in the voting lines with us (the family went 3 different days) were in good humor. Just chatting and socializing while passing the hours. Please let my state's many attempts to screw the voters bite them. Doubling the early voting hours would have worked so much better than halving them. Oh well. Still looks like a huge turnout.
