Live Blog: Election Night Coverage

2008 November 5

8:16 PM – Arrived home. Realized election happening today. Turn news coverage on to appear socially conscious.

8:48 PM
– Still confused by numbers on bottom of screen.

9:22 PM – Realize numbers stand for election points, number of voters (?), and one other thing.

10:03 PM – Numbers are for the Senate? Leave apartment for liquor store. Leave television on so neighbors believe I’m politically aware.

10:21 PM – Return from liquor store with vodka, whiskey. Devise drinking game: Shot of whiskey for every swing state going to all-american McCain, vodka for communist Obama.

10:49 PM – Realize this might be a bad idea. Swing states continue to go back and forth, much like swings. Continue anyway in name of science.

11:11 PM
– Finish alcohooolollolol.

1:29 AM - People, very excited about public transportation, spontaneously cheer driver named Yeshwi Kahn.

4:29 AM – Wake up on floor in own bodily fluids. Move to bathtub. Seems remarkably comfortable at time.

2:21 PM - Wake up in bathtub. Not nearly as comfortable as previously believed.

3:13 PM - Bookie calls to collect money. Discover Barack Obama won. Discovery why people spontaneously cheered on subway. Had nothing to do with driver.

5:07 PM - Writing from library. Bookie took computer. Excited for immediate redistribution of wealth now that Barack Obama in White House.

5:29 PM - Am told Barack Obama doesn’t take office for months.
