All of a sudden I’m so tired. I need a nap or something. Post-inauguration collapse?

And

what

will

Michelle

Obama

wear

tonight??

Oh no!  I’ll be at choir tonight!

Damnit.

12:13pm.  I loved how Obama started taking the oath before Roberts was finished. He couldn’t wait! Then they both started flubbing their lines!

Listening to his speech. Bring it home Mr. President.

“We will restore science to its rightful place.”  Woo-hoo! (And the arts? Don’t forget us, please.)

That’s Buddy watching with me, by the way.  

Ah, I like this part about the choice between our safety and our ideals.  “Our power alone does not protect us.  Nor does it allow us to do as we please.”

12:26pm.  Oh.  Check it out and be ready to tear up for the billionth time.  The new Whitehouse page.

12:28pm.  Haha.  Someone on Facebook posted, Will President Obama end his speech by pointing to Bush and Cheney and say “Now, arrest those two”?

12:29pm.  You know how NPR reporters always talk in NPR voice?  Poets always read poems in the exact same way.  She’s talking in poet voice.

12:40pm.  Sigh.  so, what happens now?    Any other planned events?

12:50pm.  I just learned it was Roberts who flubbed the lines, not Obama, who someone said he looked like he was going to chuckle.  When’s the parade?!

12:57pm.  I want to be President!  I actually quickly thought it through, if I had lived my life differently, and even if I had, I would not have won. I would have lost to Obama, and I would have lost to Bush before that … so, I can live on without regret.

1:04pm.  But maybe Obama will give me a job.

My president is cool, is a reader and a thinker! Oh happy day!

So, I went to cnn.com for the live stream and it’s hooked up to Facebook and my friend’s status reports are automatically showing up on the right. I’m getting everyone else’s live-comments as a result.  Kinda cool, except the video stream isn’t working for me. It’s so great.  Everyone I know is rejoicing, watching tv about it, twittering about it, FB’ing about it, Echo’ing about it.

Oh!  CNN’s live stream is working for me now!  I’ve got the front of the church now.

Okay, off to see how else I can hook up.  I’ll be back.  My plan is to keep updating this post and not to keep adding posts.

Two and a half more hours!!

9:34am.  Someone on Echo just posted about Michelle’s outfit, but I haven’t seen it yet!  Must find.

9:38am.  Found a blog about Michelle Obama’s outfits, but they don’t have a shot of what she wore to church yet.

10:12am.  I can’t decide who I want to marry more, Barack, Michelle or Joe Biden (sorry Jill, haven’t caught enough to fall in love yet, but I love your resume).

10:20am.  I highly recommend watching the live stream from CNN.com.  The chatter of the people there is hysterical, the people working, I mean, the news people, camera people, etc.

10:38am.  I am loving loving loving all the live Twitters, Facebook status reports, Echo.  I can’t be connected enough!!

11:08am.  Everyone is calling Cheney Mr. Potter now. Hahahahaha.

This is one of the (many millions of) Marc Jacobs windows on Bleecker Street.  I’ve got the tv on, the cats are fed, my hopes are raised!

Walking home just now there were fire engines on Bleecker at Perry, but it feels like they’re in the neighborhood every day, several times a day.  Oh wait.  Maybe I just have careless neighbors.  Uh-oh.

I plan to live-blog the inauguration tomorrow.  I’m so happy.  I also plan to cry.
