owlbeerOh, America. You rock so hard. <3!
I got little work done past about 1pm when I started to get more and more anxious. A workmate and I kept each other updated and when Fox (of all stations) called Virgina for Obama, and then Ohio went, well, then I started to think this was actually happening. I was watching MSNBC's streaming coverage (I love them for that plus Rachel! Keith!) and the fifteen minutes after they called it, with the crowds and Keith were just amazing. Amazing.
I wanted to watch Obama's speech somewhere other than my desk at work, so I flew down to grab a drink with a friend who was watching it at a pub, but annoyingly the coverage cut away five minutes into the speech! The channel was changed, but then they cut away as well! (Seriously, TV3 I expect better, it was fucking historic). Thank god for You Tube.
Anyway, tonight also happened to be Guy Fawkes so I ended up climbing a hill with some people to watch an awesome fireworks display over the harbour, which I thought was a rather fitting way to end the evening really.
Now, I have a Daily Show special to watch. I heard Jon got to a call that Obama had won and that makes me happier than I can say. <3
