It's The Little Things...

Hey all. I know that I've really slacked on updating this thing (which always happens when I blog), and that this post is probably nowhere near the coolest thing that's happened recently, but I felt like sharing this.

So i've been working on my final paper for Legal Research and Writing, and I've been working on it pretty much all day, or at least until five minutes ago. I heard a familiar noise coming from somewhere, and I couldn't place what it was. It seemed to be coming from outside, so I poked my head out the window. Either someone in my building, or (both more likely and more hilarious) someone on the highway outside my window was cruising around DC blasting "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" at top volume with the windows down.

Now there are a lot of songs worth cranking, and even more that aren't worth cranking. I'll even admit to pulling the Michael Bolton from Office Space, and rolling up my windows if I'm stopped in traffic and cranking something embarassing. But who, in 40 degree weather, rolls down the windows to blast Burl Ives? I don't know who you are, but currently, you're my hero.

May all your hits be crits,

A Momentous Occasion

There is no way to describe Washington DC right now. It is absolute bedlam on the main drag in Chinatown. The bars are just letting out a flood of people, cars are all holding down their horns as they drive by. Giddy, delirious, energetic, people are standing in the middle of the street slapping high fives with passing drivers. Everyone is on balconies, either forgetting or ignoring the steady rain, just to be a part of it. For one night, Barack Obama has energized this town, I've never seen anything like it, and I don't know if I ever will again.

Yes We Can, Yes We Did, and most importantly, Yes We Will!

May all your hits be crits,
