This is going to be one of those more personal update-y type posts, just because I have fallen woefully behind in my political news, and in keeping this little blog up to date in terms of my current work situation.
So here it is: I have a job. Yay! Without getting overly specific, I will just say that it is absolutely my dream job: I get to work with teachers, policy makers, non-profit type folk and do a lot of nerdy, wonky things all day. Plus, I get to do all of this from an office in LA, where the sun shines in December and my family is only an hour away. Perfect.
I also have a new apartment. Yay again! Haven't moved in yet, but I have a lease that's all signed and official and as of Friday, I will have keys. Not so much on the furniture or anything, but one step at a time, right?
And last but not least, I have a new car! Her name is Olive and I am already deeply in love with her. I will try to update again soon with some thoughts I've been having about Obama's negative turn, my new obsession-turned-disappointment with the show Weeds and a couple other things. But for now, this is Olive.
