I have no words to express my absolute happiness and joy that Barack Obama is the country’s 44th president.
I’ll be honest: the past eight years have done much to add a nice, new layer of cynicism to my already countless coats, but this helps to sand that down a tad or two. As a daughter [...]
Last night I wrote and attempted to post an entry about how much I now hate my job. I was doing it via BlackBerry thanks to a faulty internet connection, but there must have been some type of error; the post didn’t post and when I went to approve the draft today, it was all [...]
IP and I stayed up until midnight, laughing about SNL’s Obama variety show spoof. We kept on singing the Jeremiah White/Bill Ayers/Gnarls Barkley spoof segment to one another: “White devils be crazy! White devils be craaaaaazaaaay!” When IP called me this morning at work, I didn’t answer with a hello. I answered [...]
Obama = Air-conditioned, empty Red Line train in the morning
Biden = Free ride on the bus because the fare machine is broken
McCain = Train offloaded at Judiciary Square

Last night IP and I made a trip to Vienna to see Paul and Storm play at Jammin’ Java. I had spotted the tickets a few months ago and we both agreed that it would be a lark (even if trekking all the way to Vienna makes us wish that there were more venues in [...]
This is not a political blog, as expressed in the founding post. But I am so sick of hearing McCain and Palin’s lies. I am so tired of the past eight years, and the promised continuation of these disastrous times (no matter if McCain’s trying to co-opt Obama’s theme of change — the [...]
Oh, Spindly-Legged Couple. Why do you even try?
The Spindly-Legged Couple, mentioned on this blog only in comments, is an tiny yet interesting aspect in the lives of my dear fiancé and I. The SLC are what could be considered neighbors, but they do not live in our building; they live a few buildings [...]
So what’re my answers to Greenpeace frat boy reps stopping me to talk about climate change and harangue me to sign their petition and give them money as I walk over to Starbucks to get a chai tea frappuccino to tide me over for the rest of the afternoon?
