State of the Union
Oh, I don't know. The State of the Union is vaguely depressed. Coming back from vacation is not fun.
I don't wake up to this:
I wake up to class I don't want to attend, dishes I don't want to do, a long to-do list filled with embarassingly overdue items.
And it's not like I haven't done anything fun! I've seen Laurie at SnB, been to a bunch of parties, including Gloria's, seen Cut Chemist, Honeyboy Edwards, and attended my first college basketball game. Why can I get no satisfaction?
Basically, I haven't made it over the hump. There's a post-vacation hump you have to pop over, I think, where you settle into pleasant routine and the little pleasures of a good meal are enough. Where you don't require majestic sunsets and fireflies and howler monkies and more stars than you've ever seen before to feel moved and engaged with life.
It would help if I attended and read for class. And started blogging again. I'd feel moored.
So that's what I'm going to do. That's my big plan. It's not universal health care, but Bush didn't manage that either.

Also, for something that has moved me recently, check out my friend Julie's band, Needle! She rocks!

Your very first college basketball game? I hope you liked it. I love college basketball!

When I come back from vacation, I always want to eat a whole pie.
Pretty pictures!

It is always hard to return to the "normalcy" of everyday life. I personally think that life should be one long vacation.
