We haz new Prezident!

So my office had a viewing fiesta this afternoon for the inaguration. It was pretty freaking awesome. I, like a lot of Americans, was excited about and interested in an election. I'm still way behind the political times, but I'm finally listening in to a lot more than I have before.

Favorite quote of inagural speech: We will extend our hand if you will unclunch your fist.

In other, nonrelated news, some of you may know John was in an accident last week. Since I'm writing about it second, you can deduce he's fine. His car's in the shop, though, in pretty bad shape. Luckily he has rental insurance, so he's covered till he gets ol' Sally back. It was last Thursday when we had the snow and ice.

Also, Tara and I spent the day Saturday redecorating her office and in Atlantic City. Just some favorite moments and quotes in a series of short plays:

Cashier at Snack Shop 1, Tara 0
CASH: That'll be $10.67.
TARA: hands over a ten spot
CASH: blinks awkwardly That's $10.67, ma'am.
TARA: stares awkwardly for a while more Oh my God! I'm so sorry! I totally thought I gave you a twenty!
ME: in heaven
END Scene

Cashier on Casino Floor 1, Maureen 0
ME: Hi, how are you?
CASH: cold stare
ME: Could I exchange these dollars for quarters?
CASH: We don't sell quarters.
ME: Uhm, I don't want to buy quarters. I give you dollars...you give me quarters...
CASH: I'm sorry, I can't do that. I can only give you $2.00.
ME: Listen, lady, I just wanna do my laundry!!!
CASH: cold stare We can't sell quarters. I can give you $2.00 but that's it.
ME: Okay.
END Scene

The of course there was the would-be drag race on the way home, Tara chucking an empty bottle and having it accidentally ricochet off my head, and lots of other stuff in her office that I can't remember (T, help me out in a companion blog? haha).

Good night, and welcome, President Obama! Wahoo!
