It's midnight here. A little after. I've been refreshing the news pages every couple of minutes and I've just decided that's crazy. CNN has them nearly tied, 249 for Bush and 242 for Kerry. Everybody else has a much wider spread. But it's not counted numbers, even now: it's projections, and it's just crazymaking.
I do not look forward to the next four years if things go the way they look now. They will take this as a mandate to ramp up the program, and horrible things will happen here and in the rest of the world. If things are this way tomorrow, what will have happened is that my country will have missed an important chance to step off the escalator, to stop the descent into fascism and viciousness. It's not safe and happy times. Yes, I know I have ramping up and descending one right after the other, but it's just ghastly and I can't sort out my figures of speech.
On the bright side, the four best candidates for City Council seem to have won, with the really cool high school teacher narrowly beating out the guy who's famous for making peace in the Balkans and Middle East but polarizes the town. And the union guy coming in third.
BBC keeps saying there's new data available, but it never changes anything.
I bought vodka because I'm going to make a pomegranate liqueur. I'm going to make a pomegranate liqueur because, for the first time ever, we have too many pomegrantes and they're huge and sweet (usually mine are kind of excessively tart, on account of how we do not have hot summers, and they are really only good for sprinkling in salads and using to marinate chicken).
