WDR: Live Election Craziness! (Tomorrow)


Unless you've been living in a cave for the last...your entire life, you know that it's election season again here in the ol' U.S. of A. If you're like me, you're pumped for tomorrow not just because we'll know who our new president will be, but also because you're sick of all of the lame election commercials that have been on all the time. This is even worse in Oregon (with vote by mail) because the politicians (even local) keep paying for spots even though most people have already voted. I guess it's still open for the rest of the states.

Oh, well. So, I'm going to be writing a blog tomorrow that will cover the election-gasm tomorrow night. It would probably be more appropriate for Nic to do this, as he will actually be aiding in the election process, but, well, he'll be busy with that. Me? I'll be getting drunk and watching TV. Watch as my ability to write goes from bad to completely unintelligible. I hope you'll all be watching along with me.

WDR: Special Live Blog Spectacular!

It's live, on location in Eugene!

I'm sitting outside the student union at the University of Oregon, and there is a long line of people waiting to get tickets to the Oregon v. Arizona State game.

Some might say, "People are camping out for football tickets? Isn't it cold outside?" Well, yes, it is cold outside. But it's only the hardcore that are camping out. We have movies and hot chocolate to keep us company, but still. One would think that with this many people out, no one takes classes here, but in fact most that are here do. For those at the front of the line (like myself) they won't be too late to class.

Why camp out for Arizona State? Because (1) they're ranked above us and (2) people are still pumped from beating USC. These factors have placed Arizona State as a game to be seen, as opposed to "Arizona State is playing? I think I'll do some dishes for four hours..." (this being the average response)

So shit is getting crazy, so I'll have to update later. It's time to watch Gladiator...
