Listening: Five on the Five by The Raconteurs (right now)

Reading (perhaps quality): Slogging through 1776 by David McCullough.

Reading (definitely pulp): Nothing right now.

Drinking: Coffee, of course.

Happy election day!

So word is that the polls are in our favor but as a lifelong Democrat I'm unable to believe in my party's ability to pull a victory off. 10 point leads? Talk of an electoral landslide? I'll believe it when the election is called.

Voting was super easy. Last Saturday I saw hundreds of people in line for early voting, and all day at work folks told me I was a lun-a-tic to vote after work that however insane the lines were in the morning they'd be worse at the end of the day. But it was a breeze - left work at 4:30, got to the polls (a new one since the move, right in the center of Clarendon rather than in Lyon Park) at 5 and walked right in. I was in and out of the room within 5 minutes. Got my free cup of coffee at Starbucks and headed home. It was crazy!

Am off to an election watching party over at Cristin's. Cross fingers for our man!

Doing (life and related tasks): Enjoying relaxing around the joint.

Doing (crafty stuff): Have continued remaining anything but craft-tas-tic lately.

Wanting: I'm not even sure anymore.

Anticipating: A victory tonight!
