I enjoy her openings. I inevitably learn about something new. I haven't started bagman yet. Maybe when I'm done with my current audiobook.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

That sounds really nice Consuela. I have very little optimism left and am not sure what I'll do. Don't have tv and don't want to be refreshing the post all night or anything

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I plan to be away from a TV, possibly with a nice long fanfic, and some Ambien. I do not want a repeat of two years ago, crying on the couch. I will deal with whatever happened on Wednesday morning.
I plan to be near a TV, either watching Curious Creations of Christine McConnell or playing MarioKart. I may take Twitter off my phone for the day.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I could say I'm not going to watch returns tomorrow night, but that's a damn lie. I will.
One of the local bars is having a party tomorrow night to watch returns, and for its Facebook event post, they used Captain America's shield. I scrolled too quickly and thought, "Hey, Northside Tavern is showing Captain America on election night! That's a great idea!" (SPOILER: They are not showing Captain America.)
I'm not going to their party, because I would get HAMMERED, and I am too damn old to recover well from getting hammered anymore.

Because books.
I'm not watching tomorrow night. Last time was too much.
Any idea why I have a little red "Not secure" message in the address bar for this site now?

The Chrome browser recently changed its definition of "not secure" to include any web site that does not have encryption turned on.
Hopefully, that's one of the things that will be fixed with Gudanov's new version of the site.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I have plans that will keep me away from the TV until about 9:30. I plan to be in bed with the lights out by 10:30, 11:00 at the latest. That should be enough time to get the trends without obsessing all night long. And get enough sleep to be awake at work on Wednesday.

Yeah, new site will have encryption.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty
I am on a plane to DC. Womp womp.
I did not have my shit together yesterday and I realized I forgot to pack a couple of things after I boarded my flight, so I just ordered an Amazon Prime Now delivery at my hotel tonight.
I've told some of my coworkers that I'll probably be hiding in my hotel room rather than attending any watch parties.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I have a work dinner that'll keep me out until 6:30 or so. That'll give me time to get home (if home has water—there's a big water main break in my town that's been unresolved for about five hours now), get a drink, and start watching returns.
