The weird thing about blogging way too much is that sometimes you’ll catch yourself slipping into blog mode without even realizing it. That’s what happened to me and Megan this afternoon. When David Paterson’s swearing in ceremony came on our teevees, we inadvertently began liveblogging the damn thing. I kid you not. The internet is scary. Check it out.

Me: ooh patersons swearing in!

Megan: are you watching?

Me: of course
hes building bridges
tudisco
silver
dinapoli

Megan: i know, i was fucking dying
HE ACCUSED BRUNO OF TRYING TO POISON HIM

Me: patakis next to dinkins and hillary

Megan: and EVERYONE died laughing

Me: that was funny
but like
it was a nod

Megan: i know, i grew up in albany

Me: oh i forget!

Megan: FUCK HIM

Me: lol

Megan: paterson can totally get laid for free

Me: he pisses me off on so many levels

Megan: really? he’s not bad. he’s been a great senator

Me: fuck him

by going against bush

Megan: CHARLIE RANGEL DID NOT SHOW

Megan: haha, you thought ed koch was strom thurmond?

Me: no! i thought the guy next to mayor mike looked strom-y

Me: were going to have to post this

Megan: omg, i want to go to your gay uncles gay pride parties

Megan: seriously, jodi motherfucking rell made it down and not charlie rangel?

Me: it doesnt go right up to the park anymore

Megan: awww

Me: so technically it doesnt pass their house

Megan: stupid straights ruining the good stuff

Me: fucking breeders

Megan: fucking a

Me: what a waste that is

Megan: awwww, his wife is totally crying
um, i’ll bet she feels equally cute, and he can see some stuff.

Me: so its only half a waste?
cause his left eye works?

Megan: DUDE HE JUST CRACKED A JOKE ABOUT “HAVING A DIFFERENT KIND OF MARRIAGE”

Me: oh man
Megan: no, neither eye works well, but he can see some stuff
Me: “a little girl comes and sits between the two of you!

Megan: his stepdaughter is SO EMBARRASSED

Me: thats his daughter and all

Megan: no, he’s NOT KIDDING
aww, his son is so fucking cute

Me: can he really bring up a “little girl named ashley”
coming in between your marriage
and mean no allusions

Megan: HE CAN’T BUT HE DID

Me: i wanted my sister to go there too
lol

hes a fucking steamroller!
(but an effective and finesse-y one)

Megan: but a joke steamroller

Me: exactly
hes slick
i like his suit too
those stripes are gangster

Megan: he’s so adorably geekily cute

Me: yeah i feel like he has a bit of a jewish standup comedy guy vibe
but hes all business
“today is monday there’s work to be done”
i love albany
i lived in pine hills for a bit
right between sketchiness and suburbia

Megan: right by crossgates, right?

Me: no but like
further downtown on western
where all the suny kids live off campus
like madison and ontario

Megan: oh, right.

Me: we rocked out

Megan: yeah, i never get a ton further up Western past Colonie Center

Me: hes totally the anti spitz
this is not about me
or power games
im going to serve you
not have chicks from jersey service me!

remember that first day when spitz went jogging?

Megan: did you run past a whorehouse?
er, *he

Me: no
he ran TO the whorehouse

Megan: HA!!

Me: he keeps saying that its monday theres work to be done thing
i dont care whos saying it
i dont want to hear that shit
dont remind me!

Megan: all the cable news pulled if off the air, i’m sad

Me: oh!
we still have it!

Megan: helps to be in NY, I guess

Me: hes talking about “the problems of our great nation”
the economy, specifically how bear stearns was sold for peanuts
“we are looking @ an economy that is reeling”

Megan: smart reference

Me: ooh he wants to “adjust our budget accordingly”
hes coming in making moves
he wants to “make this state whole again”

Megan: i.e., sorry people that liked pataki’s tax cuts and spending increases. one of those is going away

Me: “i think you all kow that i know a little bit about finding my way through the dark”
“let me tell you a bit
about myself
i was born in the borough of brooklyn”
yeeeeeaaaah!
excuse me
reflex

Megan: brooklyn represent!

Me: “im david paterson and i am the governor of new york state!”
there was something a bit too stuart smalley about the ending there

Megan: well, i’m ok with that. dork cred

Me: ha my buddy in the state house up there just called me
pointing out that the end
of his speech was actually a jay z reference
the full quote was actually:
“let me reintroduce myself, im david paterson and i am the governor of new york state!”
not stuart smalley-ish at all
ok now im back to the st. patricks day parade
nbc asssured me i “wouldnt miss a frame” and by god i didnt!

Megan: wow, lucky you. wouldn’t want to miss the parade for the swearing in speech of the first black governor of NY State.

Me: im totally posting this as a liveblog

Megan: i’m gonna guess: not.

Me: lol
