In related news...I no longer cry every time I see a picture of John Kerry. Amazing president that he would have been, the American people have spoken. I am now looking forward to 4 fun years of protesting in D.C. followed by an absolute smashing victory by Hillary Clinton. I'm going to the Inauguration at any rate, just because I've never been to one and I'm curious.

In my quest to lay off the partying permanently (or at least for a couple of months) I had a really fun weekend. Blew off work on Friday to go to Georgetown w/ Sara (yay for irresponsibility) and Saturday some friends and I went to the monuments @ Federal Triangle. They were gorgeous and I walked from the Smithsonian metro stop to the Washington Monument to the WW2 Memorial then down the Reflecting Pool to the Lincoln Memorial and finally back to the metro @ Federal Triangle in 3" heels. Oh the pain! But alas I was victorious in my quest and even though the balls of my feet were pretty much rubbed raw it was worth it. I now feel as though I can accomplish anything. Mwahaha.

On Sunday I went back to Georgetown w/ Sara and Sam (since Kat bailed on us) and bought a hat at Urban Outfitters ("This place is more expensive then Gap. I cannot believe I just said that." -Sam). Georgetown is such a cool, historic area (apparently U.S. Grant was quite a speed demon in his horse and buggy back in the day) and there's always something amazing happening there, even if it's just the random homeless people on the street playing amazing jazz.

I have an 8 pg paper due tomorrow, and a 20 pager due next monday! I'm DOOMED.

Oh..and on a really really sad note...Fallujah. This is so horrible. I feel like curling up into a ball and crying.
