McCain’s concession speech was really conciliatory and respectful. Classy; I don’t think we could’ve asked for more.
OMG, some part of me didn’t think this could happen. Wow. Just wow.
On a lighter note, this is from pol:
:D
Edited to add:
OMG, I have ads for “Yes on [California Proposition] 8″ all of a sudden– dude, noooo, VOTE NO ON 8!!! Everyone should be able to get married, and enjoy all of the rights and responsibilities of marriage, if they feel like it. No discrimination if we can help it. Holy [...]
When someone sends a UPS tracking number to my Yahoo email account, there’s this feature called Yahoo! Shortcuts (which heretofore I thought was useless), that automagically makes it a link which takes me directly to the tracking page for that number (as in I don’t have to type anything). It’s awesome! I know, [...]
Not like it’s news (I mean that I’m not a morning person), but this morning, I went to put on my contact lenses — I’m usually v. routine driven (cos that’s the only way to get through a morning) — always my right contact, then my left. This morning, I rinsed off my lens [...]
As soon as all of my cousins were free on Friday when we got to MD, we all got together to eat. (I would say, “what else?!” except of course there’s always card playing, cross-eye inducing amounts of card playing.) CT suggested China Bistro (755 Hungerford Dr 301.294.0808), a little hole in the wall [...]
Our flight yesterday was at 7am, and of course for one reason or another (one reason is my sister; another reason is my cousins, damn them — I’m a 9-hours-a-night-would-be-nice kinda girl) I didn’t sleep much the whole weekend. And there was a time zone change. So you know what happened? I [...]
Passed by a kid recently wearing a suit with sneakers, carrying a Jansport backpack, on a skateboard. When he got to the building he was going to, he switched his sneakers for nice leather (presumably) shoes, took out his leather notepad doohickey and stuck his sneakers in his bag. Clever! :)
Unfortunately, when I [...]
Amongst canned root beers, Mug’s is better than A&W — more flavor, not so sweet, more bubbly. I should say though, that all three tasters (misa, yut, and me) prefer Coke to Pepsi. But in our defense, I found a Taster’s Choice article which agreed! Oh but one thing I want to [...]
After I saw This boggles my mind on leafing through, Yut and I couldn’t stop looking at it. I made and printed out a copy on Excel and we did all the obvious stuff, then got stuck, so we did other things for a bit. But by the end of the night it [...]
Live (more or less) blogging the presidential debate!
6:10pm - Jim Lehrer asked Obama and McCain about the bailout. Obama said that it’s obvious that the idea espoused by the Repubs that no regulation whatsoever is good for the economy isn’t working. McCain said that it was great that Congress is being so bipartisan. [...]
