I believe in change...

I usually don't like to talk about politics, because I find people become very excited and upset when discussing such things. However, I feel I must tell you that I have decided that I am supporting Senator Obama. I have been following the election process since this time last year and I feel that Barack Obama is the best choice for the 2008 Presidental Election. I hope you are following the elections as well and making your own informed decision.

I hope to see change and Barack Obama is the one to do it.

If you didn't get the chance last night you can watch his nomination acceptance speech here.

Sadness

I just read on Aq's website that Dr. Ozarow has died. He wasn't that old! I am just in shock, it's weird to think a teacher I had has died.

Ma chambre est propre!

Really, it is very clean! I even have pictures to prove it!


See!
Now that my room is clean I have realized how much I like it! Too bad I am now moving out of my parents’ house! But isn’t that how it always goes?

Last night I introduced my brother to Doctor Who and he seemed to like it! He watched the whole episode and when I asked him what he thought he said “It’s ok.” For him that is like saying “I look forward to seeing more!” in normal people language. I desperately need the dvds. That is all I am putting on my Christmas list this year!

In less cheery news, I thought my dog Maggie was dead yesterday. It was really scary, and when a dog is 77yrs old (11yrs in people years) it is a very real possibility. I came home and she was laying there in the grass not moving so I jumped to conclusions. I began yelling her name and she didn’t move a bit, so then I really freaked out, sure that she was dead. My mom, hearing my screaming told me to stop yelling and walked up to Maggie and gently shook her and sure enough Maggie woke up from a very deep nap. It was really freaked out. I don’t want my dog to die! I know that will happen eventually, but can’t eventually be a hundred years from now?

Ok, now that I have put that damper on this post let me leave you with happy news. I have new tires for my car! Alright, not very exciting, but I needed them and my parents bought them so, yay!

स्माल बुक रेविएव

I just finished a novel called “My French Whore” by the actor Gene Wilder. At first, I felt like the book read a bit like a screen play, but then I was so wrapped up in the story that I didn’t care. The novel focuses on a man named Paul Peachy who enlists at the end of WWI. Soon, Peachy, a former railway worker from Milwaukee, finds himself pretending to be a German spy and involved with a French whore named Annie. I won’t spoil the ending for you, but I insist that you check this book out. It is a little corny, but when you’re really busy and in the mood for an entertaining book this is a perfect choice! It’s a fast read, or you can even find it on CD. Unfortunately Gene Wilder doesn’t narrate the story himself but it is still worth a listen! Or read! Which ever works for you!

Rockin' Robin

I am sitting at the adorable Colonial Coffee House and Rockin' Robin just came on the radio so here is a cute/odd Disney music video:

Ya, it's just kind of weird, but I think it is appropriate for the kind of mood I am in.

It was brought to my attention yesterday that I need to write a weekly update, because I kind of lack details in my postings so here is what is up with me:

I am moving to DC next week. I am going to live with my uncle's cousin. They are very nice. I will have my own room and bathroom suite. I have a 15 mile commute to work, but I will only drive about seven miles and take the Metro into the city. I am not crazy enough to think I will take the Freeway.

During my visit to DC last week I had lunch with my future boss/supervisor and others from the department. They were totally nice, very chic, and young, so I think it is going to be a fun 12 weeks.

Clean up!

I move to DC in about a week, I think. So I am desperatly trying to clean my room and go through all of my clothes before I move. It is so hard. Have you seen my room? It looks like a bomb went off in there and I am not joking.

Ya, it's bad. In my defense I have been busy, and my parents forced me to put all of my stuff in my room as soon as I moved home from college. How can they do that! I think I first need a walk in closet before I can begin to think all that junk will fit!

Ok, off I go to clean. I will post an after picture soon.

W a-s-h i-n-g t-o-n, baby, D.C.!

So I am back in Michigan for about a week before I head back to DC! I have many stories, but lack the patience to write/type them all here. Let me just say that DC was fun, and interesting, but it still doesn't compare to Paris or London for me! I am desperatly going to *try* and love it as much as I love those two cities!

I love that I will be living in a city that has the metro and more museums than I will ever be able to visit, but it just doesn't have that vibe that cities in Europe do, I am betting that is because it isn't an European city!

Anyhow, here is an awesome video I found on youtube about dc. These people really love DC!
