So depressed was I yesterday. Or rather, subdued. That seemed to be the general mood of New Yorkers. Quiet in disbelief, or acceptance, I don't know. For me, it was more of a disbelief, that the entire year should culminate in this: a Bush victory.
Instead of doing homework last night, I watched Muriel's Wedding with Suzanne, which is quite fabulous if I do say so myself. The Australian accents were a bit hard to understand at first, but once you get in the flow, it gets easier. Then we watched Jeopardy. And America's Next Top Model. And Regency House Party--which is another one of those PBS modern-people-go-back-in-time sort of shows and lovely as well... if you like Pride and Prejudice, and the Regency Period in general, you should be watching it. The premise is (as obvious from the title) a house party with eligible singles looking to make a match. The first episode was scandalous already--they're repeating it Sunday so I don't want to spoil anything for the one person who might take up my suggestion. Just watch it.
So basically I tried to forget about the election by numbing myself with television. It worked for the duration I was staring at the television and stuffing my face, but now.. but now.. here it is again.
At least I've got a busy week-end lined up. And a busy Monday. Busy with what? Don't worry, I'll fill you in on Monday night. Or Tuesday morning.
