Tonight marks the first time in at least 2 weeks that I have been able to login to my blog.  Ended up having to upgrade, and fix permissions (and before she says anything, yes, Mura was actually the one to fix permissions).  The fact that I haven’t been able to post means that I was unable to say the following:

1. I have never been so relieved and happy with an election result in my entire life as I was with the one on Tuesday.  I’m looking forward to 2009 – to a president who isn’t actively trying to erode my rights, a president who is extremely intelligent and thinks before he makes decisions, and a president who will hopefully help us regain respect from the rest of the world.  I don’t agree with all of Obama’s stances – for one, I think marriage should be available to all people, regardless of race or sexual orientation – but I do think he was a far, far better choice than John McCain, and he gives me hope for the future.  Also, his running mate is not batshit insane.
2. This week I have developed (renewed?) my crush on Rahm Emanuel.  He’s married, he has three kids, he’s probably shorter than me, and he’s an acknowledged asshole, but none of that seems to matter to me.  In part because of this awesome, awesome video: How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The Ways
3. For reasons that should be obvious, I am really having the urge to watch The West Wing again.
4. My boss has been on vacation for three weeks (well, one week vacation + two weeks unpaid leave).  I’ve kind of gotten used to going it without her and don’t want to deal with her generally panic-stricken, slightly hysterical behavior when she comes back Monday.  Is that bad of me?

You may have noticed that the layout has changed.  This is because I have the attention span of a spastic gnat on speed.

Here we are, pretty in purple. Something marginally more substantial when I’m not as…zonkered. \:D/
