Gah

First...

OMG want

Second...

I get to do something quite fun this evening, and do some blog-style election coverage for the Student Paper from Hell. I didn't even think about this until just a little bit ago, but the EIC has given me the okay. Should be fun. I slept all day (making up for lost sleep yesterday and dealing with the wrath of the Moon) so I should be good to go for most of the night. Yay. I also get to document what all HuffPo is posting tonight. This is really kind of exciting. I live for breaking news coverage.

Aahahahahahah

*falls over*

I just discovered that the Student Paper from Hell, thanks to yours truly, is actually scooping the Big Local Paper on this election coverage. They're not printing ongoing returns. Instead, they're running an AP story.

*dies*

ETA: Okay, they finally posted a pathetic little piece. It only listed a few races. Pfeh.

*flexes*

ETA2: Y'know, it's actually really good that I'm working on this tonight. It's keeping me busy, when I'd otherwise be sitting here chewing my nails to stumps waiting for word on the big stuff. I'm really nervous about the Darcy Burner race. She's currently trailing by about 2700 votes--thanks to a shitload of votes for Reichert in Pierce County--but there are about 450k votes left to count for King County, and only 80k for Pierce. It may be tight enough to trigger a recount. We'll see.
