Free Coffe for Voters on Tuesday

[heidi]

A nonpartisan yet political post, sort of (in other words, I am getting my NaBloPoMo out of the way early).

If you can't watch it, here's the gist:


Come into any participating Starbucks on Nov. 4th, tell us you voted, and we'll proudly give you a tall cup of brewed coffee on us.

Its our way of saying, thanks for doing your part.

Limit one per person. Good while supplies last. Void where prohibited by law.


It's raining and the local news says people are already in line over at City Hall, where the line is entirely outside but undercover. Hopefully it isn't blowing in too much. Eldest Child stayed up until 2 AM reading some new novel about dragons - first time he's ever stayed up past midnight reading when we thought he was asleep. And I just realised that I don't actually know if he finally went to sleep at 2:30 Old Time or 2:30 New Time. Huh.

What is NaBloPoBo?

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Meep, I typo-ed it. It's NaBloPoMo - national blog posting month.

GAH, that video made me tear up a little, to be honest.

You got yourself a reader! That's awesome.

And here I thought it was just me and the fact that I hadn't had any caffeine yet this morning. But now I have and it still makes me go "oh!"

Of course, I don't drink brewed/hot coffee at all, ever - I prefer my coffee cold and with bubbles. But it's still a terrific thing for them to do!

Yeah, he's been bookish for a while, but this is the first time he's done five hours straight, so YAY!

[wendy.livejournal.com]

So get your free cup anyway and give it away to someone you work with. Or someone standing in line. Or, anything! :)

I have been tearing up EVERY TIME I see an even mildly inspiring campaign-related commercial.

My boyfriend probably thinks I'm pregnant or in mourning or something. XD

I LOVE YOUR ICON. <33333

We just watched the ending last weekend and I was like... BUH. IT'S OVER. It's been over for 16 years. :***(

I knew Dad would vote McCain or third party... but I genuinely thought Mom would vote Obama after all was said and done.

I called them to ask (a dangerous and potentially stupid exercise) and my Dad had just been talking about the American flag on their front stoop...


...and how, after Tuesday, they might have to hang it upside down.

I told him that wasn't funny, and his response? "I know."

WAT.

I have no idea why I commented to your LJ with this.

I don't drink coffee, so it's the closest I have to a coffee icon.

And yeah, it's been over for such a long time but (a) Kyle MacLaughlan hasn't aged at all and (b) BOB is still the fucking scariest thing ever on tv in the whole history of tv.

IT WILL BE OVER SOON.

Huh, weird - in Miami Beach the chamber of commerce has a thing with about 50 businesses where you can get a discount through the end of 2008 if you vote, so it seems to be ok down here.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Oh, honey, it's fine that you commented - I hug you! It's going to be ok, it really is!

[cadetsandkings.livejournal.com]

OMG I KNOW

We need a GOP-as-BOB meme, stat.

I saw the commercial and giggled.

We don't have Starbucks in my county. I'd have to trip up to the nearest one. XD
