So, what are you going to be doing between now and the House voting tomorrow?
Edited on Sat Mar-20-10 06:52 PM by quiet.american
Me: Scuttling every five minutes between DU, NYT, and Steve Benen's blog for updates.
Eating way too much
Having a drink (or two)
Channel-checking the C-Span channels
Praying :)


I don't think sleep is going to make it to my list. I am on pins and needles.

1. Watching movies and shows I DVR'd during the week.
I'll sleep. Nothing keeps me from sleeping.:9

Of course, I'll check for updates right before I go to sleep.

2. That's a good idea - that would take my mind off this even if just for a few minutes.
What shows do you like to DVR?

My favorites are: Damages, White Collar and Life On Mars (British version - the American version I buy off iTunes)

9. I love Damages. I usually watch that real time.
I DVR Law & Order SVU and a couple of American Greed shows on CNBC. I DVR'd Justified, but after the teabaggers' crap today, I don't know if I'm in the mood to watch a show about racist anti-government hillbillies.

I'm watching the Hurt Locker

10. Lol, re: Justified!
American Greed is one that I like to catch sometimes, too. The one about the "grannies" who were setting up homeless men and collecting life insurance on them had my jaw on the floor.

The Hurt Locker is definitely on the list to see, too.

8. I wish we could be there too!
The kids and I are driving to DC the week after next and have a scheduled Capital bldg. tour through our congresscritter's office on Tuesday (Senator whats-his-name from FL). Hoping there will still be some good action going on so we can catch a glimpse of it, or at least the aftermath. :)

7. Today: yard work and a nap, keeping up on DU and Twitter.
Tomorrow: early morning yard work, catch up on b-ball then park my ass in the big recliner with a couple of drinks and holler at C-Span.

20. Not sure
Many years ago I hid a pack of cigarettes around here somewhere and also an old VCR porno tape. I think I will spend the day looking for them.

21. I totally screwed up. I committed to get together with friends
tomorrow and we've been planning this a long time. However, my sister is on "red alert" to call me throughout the whole process.

23. (a) Trying to find which channel is carrying it, and (b) assiduously NOT counting our chicks ...
... before they are hatched.

I hope it's on CSPAN1 because that's the only CSPAN I get from Cox Cable now. Otherwise, I'll check in with CNN, although their nattering irks me no end.
