Whenever I would take a long s Beenbreak from journaling or blogging, I used to do a “Yes, I’m alive” post to start off the next wave.  Now I’m divided - on one hand I think it’s more than a little pretentious and bordering on obnoxious to think people actually care that I’ve ( Read more... )

I’m sorry, but I think I just geeked all over myself. :)

Also, much props to them on the music choice - particularly The Knife.  (That eerie music at the beginning is the opening to “The Captain”, from Silent Shout.  I could probably write an entire post about how much I love ( Read more... )

I have an almost 1300 word post sitting in my drafts that…isn’t quite right.  So instead, my wonderful readers, you get this. :)

I would be remiss if I didn’t post this, because Mr. Olbermann says almost everything I would have posted about Prop 8, or the other amendments that passed, and how I feel about them.

Despite what many people think, our country is slowly becoming more and more progressive. I ( Read more... )

President Obama. President Obama. President Obama. President-Elect Obama.  President Obama.

I feel like Celie in The Color Purple- my smile is so big I can’t contain it.  It spreads across my face every time I think about it.  Every time I say it.  President Obama.

And now for something completely different, because it’s past 3 4 in the morning, I can’t sleep, and I have fallen down a vast well of youtube videos.

I am sick and tired of this election. Yeah, I said it, and I know I’m not alone.

I’m tired of analysis, of speculation, of fear mongering and personal attacks.  I wish cable news had something else to talk about (not that I watched much of that in the first place).  I’m tired ( Read more... )
