Where Are You Watching From?

You saw where I’m watching from. Annie is down on the floor. Charles is at the gavel-to-gavel-covering basement cabaret from the other night. Where are you?

My couch, scarfing leftovers and trying to decide if I want to go see Tiny Vipers at Sonic Boom or watch Obama's speech. I promised to be at one, but want to see the other, too.

I'm working, and don't get to watch. Sigh. But I do get to look at the news online and chuckle about the fact that the climate clearly hate the GOP.

My couch, monitoring live updates from friends and keeping an eye on your words, Eli. Annie and Charles, too.

Good bottle of red, sausage & peppers on the stove, marinara simmering all day, 40" Sony HD.

In my TV loft, sitting amongst my signed England football boot, World Cup tickets and other footy memorabilia.

@9, yes, actually.

NYC, specifically Upper West Side. Not a lot of convincing needs to happen in my neighborhood. But, if I can get anyone a biyali, let me know.

I'm at the FOX Sports Bar, where people are starting to grumble that one of the 18 screens you can see from the bar will be showing Obama's speech. "I came here so don't have to watch that shit," said a guy on my left. The guy on my right just ordered a "Tiger Woods."

A Ramada Inn in Grand Rapids, MI. It's good that I'm away from home because otherwise I would be distracted with other things...

On Capitol Hill (not DC) where our party just broke up with all agreeing that Barack and Joe have to descend into the gutter so they can look up at the Starz in order to whip McCain and whatever cretin he has dug up in Dayton, Ohio.

Dems theme song if we lose: "Brother can you spare a dime?"

Reps theme song if they win (from Sex & the City): "Sister, can you spare a lime?"

I was at Amsterdam, a gay bar in Atlanta. When Obama talked about his "gay and lesbian brothers and sisters," I didn't even hear the thing-we-can-all-agree because the bar burst into such noisy applause. It was pretty sweetass.
