Free at last. Free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.

I'm over the moon happy that Obama is our new president. I'm almost as happy that Dubya is not. Former President W. Bush. What a beautiful name.

What a beautiful day. It was so wonderful watching the inauguration, so many happy, overjoyed people in audience. This is truly a celebration. The nightmare that was Bush's presidency is over, it can only go up from here. I know we can't expect the world from one man, but after what we had to put up with for the last 8 years, a dead bird would've made a better president. At least the dead bird would've just smelled. A dead bird wouldn't have put us into an un-winnable war and let his other bird-buddies profit off the middle class of the country. A dead bird wouldn't have set our reputation back with the rest of the world. It would've just laid there, dead.

I am optimistic for our future. Hopefully someone buries the dead bird.

yes ive been slacking

And I'm sorry about it. I spent the majority of December knitting and knitting christmas gifts and now im wishing I had taken photos of them to post. I'll start taking photos, esp since I got a new camera for christmas from my very thoughtful boyfriend. I will post a few photos from the holidays to make up for the lack of posts.

neat-o gifts

A couple of years back I used to post a list of silly things I find for xmas gift ideas. While I still may do that, I'm going to post some really neat gifts too.

Delightfully Innovative Chop2Pot
I already have about a dozen cutting boards, but I am a little tempted to buy this one. I hate it when I'm scraping chopped veggies off the cutting board and they missing the pot entirely. Brilliant (and cute).

oops, i should probably post something

I think the excitement of Obama's win clouded my brain, and I forgot I should still keep posting even though the election is over. Maybe I'll go back to posting more non-political posts.. what a concept! :) hmm, non-political...

I have some photos that have been hanging in my picasa album for a while, i shall share some.



I'm currently in san francisco for a conference, and when I return home I will post photos from that too.

the winner by a LANDSLIDE!!!

Yes We Did!!!!

I'm on cloud-nine. As of right now, Obama has 349 electoral votes, compared to McCain's 163. Best of all - Obama got Indiana!!! I've complained before about how pointless it is to be a liberal-voter in Indiana b/c it always goes for the republican presidential candidate. I feel so inspired and proud to be a citizen of Indiana and of the US. 8 years ago, even 4 years ago, I really don't think I would've believed that we could elect a bi-racial, idealistic, outside-of-the-establishment candidate. I think the US has started to redeem itself in the eyes of the world. I'm so excited to see what the future holds for us.

hey... if you haven't already...

GO VOTE!!!

(for Obama :)
