What will you be doing on election night?
November 3, 2016 at 8:13 pm
I warned my wife that I watch these elections like it's a big sporting event. Each time they call a state, is kind of exciting for my nerdy self.
Will you be watching election coverage all night? Or do you have other things you'd rather do?
I wake up at 4 am for work on Wednesdays, so I hope the election is called earlier than 2012's.

I'll periodically check the results. Maybe once an hour starting at 9:00 PM Eastern. Might take some time to play a video game or watch a movie, since I'll have all my grading done by then.

Vancouver Canucks @ NY Rangers on Nov. 8. Game will be ending just about the time the first polls close back east. From there I'll watch the election coverage....although maybe the Stephen Colbert or Daily Show versions.

As much as I love Colbert, I'm not ordering Showtime for his live election special. I have HBO, so I kind of wish John Oliver was doing something.

I will be in school. I will also make sure that I get to the polls to vote before going to school.
I also don't have live tv so I won't be subjected to all the crap by the news. I guess I'll find out when I get home from school, after 10pm, what the major reporting results are. Until then... I am keeping busy doing something useful.

Same thing I do every night, Pinky...

I have 3 TVs in the living room (2 small, one big) so will be DVRing one or 2 of the main networks (ABC and CBS or NBC) and CNN, FNC and MSNBC.
I'll probably have the 2 small TVs on ABC and whatever, and the main one will rotate thru the cable outlets.
Most likely I'll be in the recliner with a security blanket and plentiful snacks nearby.
And I'll be on line here periodically all nite.

Not giving a fuck.
Oh don't get me wrong, I care how it turns out very much, but frankly, I'd rather spend the evening enjoying an adult beverage and some sexy time with my love.
