"Up next: so what were Republican members of Congress thinking during President Obama's speech last night? Well, a couple of them were caught using that instant messaging system called ... Twitter... and they were a-twitter, and some were a-tweeting themselves, or being tweets, by putting out tweets right in the middle of that, um... that speech last night. If you notice, their fingers were outtasite. You're watching Hardball, only on MSNBC."
-Chris Matthews (and yes, I rewound my DVR to make sure I got this quotation right)

It's well past time that I blogged.
I have been playing around with this tumblr thing recently. I was quoted on Taylor M.'s site, or I suppose I was tumbled there, and then I started looking around on it and made my own. I am a sucker for the novelty of such things. In some ways it's cool, but it also feels discouraging of super-long posts. Like today I started posting D.H. Lawrence poems on there and realized "hey, what the heck am I doing? This certainly is a waste of time."
I guess I had an excuse, though, because I was sick today -- have been for several days. I'm feeling somewhat better now, but I'm faced with so much stuff to do... and here I am wasting time via a different Internet medium!
This is kind of an interesting time, because I have no idea if I'm going to be able to get a job after I get my degree in May. I've been sending out resumes like a banshee-type creature, but it hasn't yielded much fruit so far. I feel like I'm plenty qualified at this point for several different types of work, but the news about the economy is scary, and I never had the most marketable degree to begin with.
But in a way, the whole process is fun, because having nothing determined for me means the possibilities are endless. I've been working on making it my policy to feel little to no discouragement when it comes to economic news.
What else...
I liked Obama's speech tonight -- thought he got the job done properly, rousing his base and also explaining the situation to the nation. I have high hopes for what he's going to do. And is it just me or does the first lady get more beautiful all the time? I mean, damn. Props to ya, Barack.
Jake and Richard and I watched it together, and it felt cool to have the three of us, who have watched many a Bush State of the Union address together in impotent frustration, congregated to see Obama's first big one.
I won't lie, it's been a rough couple of weeks, and the next couple of months aren't likely to get much better, but I have been really successful at finding bright spots such as that lately, and ways to let go of stress by focusing more on them. 'Cause life is a beautiful thing, y'all. HZA out.
