Misc. Thoughts: the morning after edition

[thehefner]

1.) The man said the night was always darkest just before the dawn. I think the dawn just arrived.

2.) That said, I think tommx put it best: "The true work begins."

3.) Following that, I think I have fixed the Harvey Dent mix. If you had any problems downloading or playing it before, try these: Part One and Part Two. They're now all m4a files, and hopefully in order. Let me know if it works all right, so I can pimp it on a couple relevant LJ communities! These kids have probably never heard a Peter Gabriel song in their lives!

4.) And yet, amid the joyous dancin' in the streets, California's Prop 8 passing is this election's Captain Buzzkill. That said, thanks to rosered2318 for putting it into perspective with the thought of it going to the Supreme Court. Here's hoping.

5.) Magnolia (the name of the minivan I will be driving) is nearly ready for travel. The only thing I think I need to get is a portable hot plate or stove for making soup and ramen and whatnot. Probably wanna go to Target. What else am I forgetting?

6.) Seriously, folks. Karaoke. Remingtons. Tonight. Anyone in? If it's not happening, fine by me, I have packing to do. But it's my last huzzah, I'm off tomorrow. So what's it going to be, then?

EDIT: 7.) Oh, wait, Mo's at Austin Grill tonight? That might be even better! Nachos and margaritas and not making an ass of myself, I approve!

Super-excited about Obama! XD

But Prop 8 passed?! I've been hoping for a double-win of what I wanted/believed in...it didn't pass? Supreme Court sounds good though; but I've googled it, and there's no clear headline saying if it passed or not (I'd think there'd be a clear headline for that)--where did you get the news?

Yeah, I keep forgetting it actually hasn't passed yet as every other person on my LJ is already mourning it was a certainty. Suppose we should not give up hope yet, but based on what I'm hearing, it seems dire.

Uh huh--it's mostly what polls or predictions based on analyzing the settled votes already--I want to hope, but the article I just found below has me worried...

Where, here's something to completely break my denial:

But, in response to Mr. Flint's hopes: No way is this the end.
