Y'know, you get so revved up, and so cold, you don't realize how tired you are. Then you warm up, and OMG the ow. So. Very. Sore.

Were those "Senate Seats" fridge magnets? AWESOME!

[lagilman]

nope -- 3-dimensional soft-foam figures

Hahahaha, the senate seat!

I was watching the camera pan over the mall and wow. The people. Really gives one an idea of the scale of the event.

That's a beautiful icon. Who is it?

[infiniteviking]

Aw, thank you. She's Mary Tamm as the first Romana from Doctor Who! Feel free to use the icon if you like; I made it.

What a glorious day!

Looking at the camera shots of the Mall. Wow. Just--amazing.

Thanks for the photos. Hugs and big big smiles which will probably hang around 'til next week some time, Jean Marie

On my day off, I pulled myself out of bed early (7:00am - Alaska time) to watch and record the inauguration and speech to show at the library inaugural ball tomorrow. It was an amazing event.

we met someone from Anchorage on the Mall. She was probably the only one who wasn't bitching about the cold.*grin*

(even the Canadians were a bit frost-bit by the end f the day)

I watched on the internet after all. They put the French translation over the English (I don't envy the interpreters' job!) but I managed to hear him give his oath and his speech. Magnificent!
