But when Rich says we had a communication break down, it wasn’t we–it was me. I was a bit late getting there and didn’t think to catch up with him. It was fun and cold and I wouldn’t have missed it.
Shomon’s party was a blast and I had a great time–glad to meet everyone I did.
I got home on Sunday (I was in Bloomington with my daughters later on Saturday) and my power was out. Again. Landlord problems. Anyway, blogging will be a bit slow until the power is back on and my new motherboard arrives (Newegg shipped within 24 hours of receiving the bad one–I highly recommend Newegg now).
Almost everything besides the announcement was just fun and so I don’t write about it, but I will say the act of introducing Kwame Raoul as the next Barack Obama to two Japanese reporters was an act of cruelty that has absolutely hysterical. For those who don’t get it–Senator Raoul replaced Obama in the 13th, but in translation this doesn’t come out the same way.
Oh, and e-mail is way behind, but I’ll be getting to it.
You bloggers must be loving this moment. I would have loved to have been there with you all. And I know how to dress for this weather too.
My husband and I found the whole thing fun. The sky was gorgeous and the air cold as ***
I liked the speech. I thought it was one of the best I’ve heard. My favorite was the one I saw on cspan at harkins steak fry. I really felt that one.
I watched the announcement speech on cspan Saturday night (I was unable to see Obama give the speech. Too far away, too many tall people for one who is short, ect.) The second time it makes a big impression.
