1) I think it is quite sad that I breathed my first sigh of relief when Biden took the VP oath of office. This means that no matter what was to happen, Dick Cheney could never-ever-ever be preident.
2) I love the now President Obama fucked-up the oath, and then Roberts fucked it up more. I mean I'll cut Roberts some slack, this is the first time he's administering the oath. On the other hand, this dude should have EVERY SINGLE WORD of the constitution memorized, it's his frickin' job. And I think President Obama does have it memorized (being a Con Law professor and everything), so it was odd to see. Perhaps I should start an Internet rumor that Roberts intentionally fucked it up in an effort to make President Obama not the president.
3) I love typing President Obama.
4) Only Aretha Franklin could get away with that hat.
5) "We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus - and non-believers." As a non-believer it was really nice to hear that in an inaugural address. Hence the ironic subject line.

Negative
Well, I had the blood test this morning. It was negative. No pregnancy. I've now called NYU clinic to see if I could get a second opinion.
Let's see what happens.

One Week Until The Test
So, the prior two times I've done IVF I got pregnant. Exactly one week before the pregnancy test at the doctors I had a little mini-melt-down as I was SURE I didn't get pregnant.
This time, although I would normally take the test on November 15, that's a Saturday, so the test is scheduled for Monday, the 17th.
That makes today, Saturday, a week before the pregnancy test should be.
And no freak-out. I mean, I don't think I got pregnant, but I didn't burst into tears about it, which makes me think that I'm right this time, because there are no crazy hormones coursing through my veins.
I'll take a home pregnancy test next Saturday, but I'm not optimistic. Although, statistically speaking, I only had a 50% chance each time I did this, I just figure it wasn't my time.
Keep your fingers crossed anyway.

When I Knew
At 8:30 this evening Chris and I went down to grab dinner at our friend's, Marc and Blue, resturant (which is just downstairs from our apartment). They didn't have a TV so we set them up with our extra TV and an antenna. In exchange for the use of the TV & rabbit ears we got a free dinner. Hooray!
At 8:30 the only possibly weak state that went for Obama was Pennsylvania. Virginia, Florida and Indiana were too close to call. I was a little nervious and a little down.
So we went to dinner.
And we slowly watched the returns come in I felt better and better and at about 9:30 when Ohio went easily for Obama and the electoral count went to 195 I knew, it was done. I sent an email out to a bunch of my friends. It said:
195 + CA, HI, WA & OR = win
And he just did. It got called moment ago.
And I started to cry.

I Am A Bad Democrat
Instead of going to the Obama rally today (which started at 11am), I stayed home and watched a marathon of The West Wing first season on Bravo.
Yes, I know I own the first season of the West Wing on DVD. What's your point?
(We're up to What Kind Of Day Has It Been.)

I Was Looking For A Specific Quote...
...and I was pretty sure it was from The West Wing so I started to dig around. Unforntunately I couldn't find the quote I was looking for, but I found this one instead:
I love this quote for so many reasons. One of the main ones is that it was written almost ten years ago. And the past ten years have been largely about privacy and health records and the Internet. Oh Aaron Sorkin! Why couldn't you write more stuff like The West Wing!
It's not just about abortion, it's about the next 20 years. Twenties and Thirties it was the role of government, Fifties and Sixties it was civil rights. The next two decades it's gonna be privacy. I'm talking about the Internet. I'm talking about cell phones. I'm talking about health records and who's gay and who's not. And moreover, in a country born on the will to be free, what could be more fundamental than this?
