Embracing my Fate

When I started this entry, I had just finished finals.  It feels decidedly bizarre.  I keep getting off work and wandering around aimlessly, wondering what exactly I did before I started school.  I always think of that Christopher Walken SNL sketch where he claims to only work part-time because he sleeps for large portions of the day.

But anyway, the point of all that was to say, I finished finals, so we (and by that I mean pretty much everyone in my program...we apparently only do things in obnoxiously large groups) went out to Public Bar, a place with mediocre drinks and downright terrible music BUT an excellent rooftop area with a great view of Dupont Circle.  It was a really fun night, and I highly recommend the roof to anyone who comes to visit.  Not the bar so much, just the roof.  So really, if you have access to a free roof, take that one instead.

And now for a thought.  So part of the reason why I have been updating so rarely is that I want to be at least somewhat passionate in what I'm discussing.  And I also said (to myself) when I started this blog that I did not want to discuss politics ad nauseum, as I happen to have a few friends and family members who do that, and it is boring and occasionally infuriating.  It is what I think about and talk about pretty much all day, every day, but I thought I would be able to separate my real life from my blog life.  However, it turns out this was mostly resulting in me never updating.  I was discussing this dilemma with a friend, who  pointed out this very simple fact: "But it's your blog!"


And thus it was settled.  I am going to embrace my fate, and become an angry, rambling politico.  I plan on buying a frumpy powersuit ASAP.
