That's why I'm on here, to stay awake!
Dana, I am definitely scared.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Looking at Five Thirty-Eight is not soothing me, you guys. I'm about a percentage point away from huddling in the corner and rocking.
I super don't like how Ohio has shifted.
I am curious, though, about why 538's predictions are so different from the New York Times' and the Princeton Election Consortium's predictions.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've discovered that the closer the polls show the race, the worse my anxiety gets.
I may need more meds to get through this election.

I just talked to the person confirming my housemate's references for his apartment hunt. I feel so weirdly adult dealing with this apartment thing and vouching for housemate's fitness as a tenant.

You are an authority!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ahhhh. I finished my big draft. I mean, just the first draft, and someone will still tell me it's garbage, but still. The capital-W Writer has been working on two sections for weeks now, and I basically banged out the other 10 this morning.

Go Jesse, show 'em how it's done.
I have acquired a big project. Sigh. I mean, I always knew it would be my baby, but I was hoping to put it off for a while longer, not start it during our busy season. Oh well.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
There are some Buffistas in the Portland, Oregon area, right? Just got off the phone with the DH (who is in Vail on a Volvo launch) and an autojournalist friend of ours has made a strong case that DH could continue to do his review work from there (access to press fleet cars is THE deciding factor in location) and that we could find a nice house. Not as cheap as the Detroit area, but still half as much as our current house.
This is intriguing.....

Erin is in Portland, and SA (though she's not here much anymore)
I totally support Scrappy in PDX...but only coming from a few places would it be "cheap"

erinobscure (wait, as that her board name? I may be conflating) and SA, I think. I like Portland a lot and think you would, too, Scrappy.

Anywhere in California, I think.
