i'm in the process of doing at the least, two things. the first of which is typing this entry. the second being that i'm consuming my second small glass of wine in celebration of senator barack obama winning, not only his place in the whitehouse as the american president, but also his spot in history as the first BLACK american president. i spent pretty much the entire day watching my cnn interactive map and sweating anxiously at the numbers. in fact, i'm still watching that map and telling indiana and north carolina to hurry their lazy arses up and call it. how hard can it be to say (at almost 100% reported) who has clinched it? fer feck's sake, florida finally had the nads to turn blue at 95% reported (i think it was), as did virginia, why the smeg can't you? the coolest moment, was after yelling "he's got virginia!" i refreshed the page, not one minute later to see the entire west coast turn from light grey (still voting) to blue (democrat) and catapault obama into the majority! i was quite literally jumping around and yelling "victory". it was a fabulous day and reminded me of my excitement at watching our very own elections this time last year. i'm hoping the change really is for the good.

the third thing i'm doing is attempting to transfer my music from my laptop onto my newly acquired ipod. however, either itunes hates me more than it used to, or the bloody device is fubar. reckons it can't read or write from it, so i'm having to scan it for "bad sectors" and the like. i'm not keen to reformat just yet as i want to get the songs on it, off it first. that way, i don't lose the ones i actually want to keep and can dump the rest. i've already dumped about 2000 of the files on it. mainly language things, and i'm not in a mad rush to learn italian at this stage, i'm still faultering through my french studies. and i mean "faultering" ;) with luck i can do the swapsies and all will work out fine and dandy. otherwise i might be a little bit sad. of course, all is not lost, i still have my iriver of awesome, so it's not all sour grapes.

well, once i've finished this, my second glass of wine, i am kind of obligated to have a third. the reason being that i'm drinking for others who are only able to intoxicate themselves vicariously through others due to ailments or work duties or plain and simple abstinence. that is fine by me, i feel like it's not that bad a thing to do, and they're only half glasses anyway. plus, i'm celebrating a victorious, uh, victory, an historic victory of awesomeness. i'm soooo pleased that usania voted the way it did, i don't want to think of what might have been had it gone the 'other way'.

i could hear the collective sigh of relief from my usanian friends when everything turned blue.

til next....
