There were lines all day at the County Courthouse, though the line I was in moved along pretty quickly. Early voting FTW!!
Equinox has two positions for developers. Equinox FTW!!
The first-ever Evergreen conference has been announced, for next May 20-22. Evergreen FTW!!
Other than that it’s been a wild, bucking day of checklists and updates and flotsam and jetsam. I ran out in the middle of the day and got my hair done because that was the only time I could do that before November. Since Sandy’s out of the house today that meant I could be feral and just sit here and work a while this evening, so all’s fair. I kind of enjoy a work night that segues from Brian Williams to Terry Gross and then on to Farai Chideya.
The hairdresser squinted at me. “You need your eyebrows done.” Why is this the first year stylists have tackled my admittedly lush, Eastern-European eyebrows? I meekly nodded. She dotted several hirsute locations with warm wax, then patted paper on my brow and yanked three times. RIP! RIP! RIP! I know from experience the results will be very satisfying, once the swelling goes down.
I’m about to grab the big pile of books I snagged from my two library systems (Leon County and Georgia PINES) and assemble some tidbits for my VALA talk. Special note to librarians: I did not write in or dogear these books! They were like this when I checked them out! I swan, some people’s kids…
Went to the civic center and pushed buttons yesterday. I just stared at the screen for a while, taking it all in. And then I wept as I was walking out. Not sure why, but it all felt a little overwhelming.
It does feel huge, Pam… I know just what you mean.
It’s going to feel strange and a little sad to be halfway around the world on election day where we can’t watch it directly. (And let’s not jinx the outcome!). We’ll have to find someplace to watch CNN or something, will it be Wednesday afternoon? Or maybe we’ll be someplace cool like the Sydney Harbor Bridge when we get the news!
OK, I am clearly out of my league. What does FTW stand for? Wikipedia gave me two choices, but I’m not sure which one you would be meaning.
FTW = For The Win
Lizanne, I’ve been thinking about that too. Maybe we need an Americans Abroad election party??? I will be GLUED to the TV that day!
