(no subject)

Somehow I managed to miss the following IMs last night:

qousqous: ok so i have a question for you

qousqous: say rehnquist dies this weekend, and there is a lawsuit over the election, and it goes to the supreme court

qousqous:what happens if the court splits 4-4?

qousqous:because i for one have no clue.

I have no answer, except, "Then your Election Night party becomes even more of a slumber party than it already was," and "Dammit! This is why the Supreme Court shouldn't be allowed to get involved in deciding elections in the first place!"

In happier news, I got up because of a phone call from a piano mover and tuner who sounded way more competent and friendly than anyone I called yesterday, so I think he's my guy. Soon I will go to Rachel's house to check out the piano in question, and then we will go to tea. Yay tea! Also while I'm downtown, I will get Dan Bern tickets for Thursday night.... hey, I wonder what happened to the library books I was going to return? Mysteries abound.
