I AM WATCHING ALL THE WAVING FLAGS OMG I'M ALMOST SORRY I MOVED TO NYC NOW

Most of my friends there stayed home. It's in the 20s and it is so impossible to get to. And yet, I'm sort of sorry I'm not there, too!

Yeah, fuck the cold, that is what fleece socks are for! I think I would have slept over at some friend's place in DC and tried to go.

I was watching in an auditorium with 300 scientists, and the hoots, hollers, clapping, and whooping that happened when he said that was STAGGERING. It happened again when he promised that science would be back in fashion soon :)

Did you watch at work, I take it?

I was alone in my apartment, but Lionel Richie Fan might have heard my cheer...

i know. i know. i know. i *know*.

we were watching in the auditorium on campus and the audience gave out a stifled *squee* when he mentioned the "makers of things."

i had goosebumps all day.
