so, i'm here at work (and too lazy to use capital letters).  i don't know why i'm here.  it's so beautiful out and my bosses are both out of the office.  no one would notice if i left.  i. can't. really. focus.  and the lights just went out.  i am taking that as a sign.

 

i don't know what was more depressing and difficult to watch last night, the SOTU speech or american idol.  both were equally appalling in their own way.  the only thing i will say is that i thought it was really symbolic that when the mom of the dead soldier and the iraqi woman hugged, the soldier's dog tags got all tangled up with the iraqi woman's clothes.  if you think about that as a metaphor, it is rather significant, don't you think?  it works on many levels.  i would like to hear if that meant anything to anyone else too. 

 

other than that, i will leave the commentary to others.  eventually, i will get into writing political rants but for now i'm out.  i've been on hiatus from excessive news ever since the election.  i think i must not be ready for a steady news diet yet because i had a dream about aaron brown last night. (not that kind of dream, get your mind out of the gutter).  when anyone from the news seeps into my subconcious, that's a bad sign.  i will, however, make an exception for anderson cooper.
