Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Whose map?

The Cincinnati Enquirer -- they're reporting AP results, and a lot of the states that they're reporting (including Ohio and Texas) are still in progress. But they've assigned them a color anyway, and it's got me so freaking jittery.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I"m supposed to be reading my fluffy Regency spy thriller but I keep not doing that

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have to admit that I've secretly pinned my hopes on Texas.

Also, I ordered Chinese, and they threw in a free egg roll, which I am taking as a good portent.

I was notgetting my hopes up, but I'm starting to.

Looks like AP is calling for Mitch. Boo.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

MSNBC just called for Mitch too.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I thought I was going to dip in and out but just the early returns have me so tense that I think I’m staying out of it.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

For a moment I got all excited because I thought The Amazing Race was on tonight, but then I remembered it's so very definitely the first Tuesday in November. It would have been very diverting to watch the racers, especially because it's a two episode night this week. But I suppose it's all election coverage. So to Netflix or whatever, I go.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I was going to run through a car wash on my way home from grocery shopping tonight. At the last light before the turn in I noticed a small, clear spider racing across my windshield (outside) and decided to spare it and skip the wash in the hopes of banking some small amount of karma.
