Well That Didn't Work

8:50: Ok, while you can only see nine computers in this picture, there were actually twelve computers in the room at this time it was taken...twelve computers and eleven people. Each of us was monitoring something different about the election, shouting information back and forth across the room, and making predictions. We probably resembled the CNN newsroom. Actually, we were probably better than the CNN newsroom. One thing's for sure, we were definately better than the Fox News newsroom.

10:00: We're currently watching "Prelude to a Recount" on the Daily Show...they're "tracking the closest election since, well, frankly 4 years ago... waiting for every vote to be counted, recounted, personally notorized and embossed [before they make any predictions]...[while] the Iraqis are going 'you invaded us to bring us this?'...and after the voter makes his or, as I hear in some states, her vote the information is translated into binary code..." On top of that, they referenced Tron and played Halo...that's just ridiculous. It was absolutely hysterical. I called Dennis to let him know that the Daily Show was running early, I figured he'd want to know; he sounded grateful. : o )

And on a side note...I've been cracking jokes all night. I don't know what it is about the 7th floor, but I feel comfortable being the smart-ass that I am up here...I guess its because its appreciated.

Friend: Everyone that lives in New York knows the Al Sharpton is the abulance chaser of politicians.
Me: No, Edwards is the ambulance chaser of politicians.

Ok, so that wasn't the best joke I made, but its the one I can remember at the present. The point is that everyone was cracking up and that made me happy.

1:00am: It has come down to this...whoever takes Ohio takes the White House. 100,000 people could change the election. Again...

4:00am: Kerry won't conceed to a Bush victory, but I will. *shrug* Still a good night, though. Sweet dreams everybody.
