Waking Up to Clear Skies, Fuzzy Head

Finally! After about a week of rain, the sun is finally out. Seriously, that was insane. If you live here in DC, you know exactly what I’m talking about. I was almost ready to call up my good buddy Noah and load up the animals. Save the monkeys! Haha.

Side note, if that actually did happen, and we had to choose which species to save in order to prevent their extinction, can you imagine the chaos that would ensue? Don’t let the dirty monkeys on the ark! No homosexual monkeys either. We only have room for a few select Hispanic monkeys (but only after they undergo a time-consuming and expensive ark admittance process). And if you’re a Muslim monkey, forget about it. But if you’re a Christian monkey, extra bananas for you!

In any case, we are all very grateful that the Great Deluge has seemingly ended.

It was a gorgeous morning. And even though I was hungover, and awakened too early by my noisy upstairs neighbors, I felt refreshed by the change in weather. I was so happy, in fact, that the swarms of tourists did not affect me. I barely noticed the uptight businessmen and the unnecessarily fast-walking businesswomen. I barely even noticed my hangover. I took my time in the crosswalks. And my ipod provided a fun beat. Yeah, I’m that girl dancing on the corner. Life is good today.

Wow

In a way, I feel like this photo sums up these past few weeks...














Simply absurd.

Life throws curveballs all the time. This I knew. I just hope that like Connie's performance, my life will somehow show an inkling of humor amidst the craziness.

We shall see.

More to come soon.
