The Friday before MLK is Lee-Jackson day. I moved to VA during high school and went to college in VA but wasn’t aware of it until I started working for the state a couple years ago and we had a four day weekend.

Arcade fire has a husband and wife as the two main singers and song writers. Their first album, Funeral, would be on my list. And honestly most of their favorite songs are the ones Regine sings in. Haiti and Sprawl II (mountains beyond mountains) are two of my favorites.

A friend and I watched it on Christmas Eve. We both fell asleep and woke up the next morning agreeing that it’s not worth it.

Arlington looks more like a city than D.C. does. (I’m in the greys, so you guys probably won’t see this. Meh)

Remind me of “Kleenex”

I’ve done the same thing, driven and seen most of the lower 48, but in my car. Crater lake had been by far my favorite spot and this picture is probably my favorite out of all I’ve taken. It was summer and a bit chilly up there, but not a single cloud in the sky.

Originally from California but currently live in DC. Came out here for college and stayed here post grad, but will eventually move back. I have a California flag bumper sticker on my car and am proud of it.

I’ve been dealing with depression for a while now and have learned to say this and not be shamed: I’m broken and working on my problems.

My mom just made tamales, as is usual for this time of the year. i have tried my hands at making them but can’t come close to hers. Time to go eat more tamales!

I personally liked this better than episode VII last year. At least this isn’t a soft reboot of the franchise. And that ending though! I’ve never had my heart beating as quickly as it did during the end.

I swore off the Grammys after Kendrick didn’t win best album earlier this year. Imagine the outrage if neither Adele nor Beyoncé win the best album award.

Probably when he had to choose the hats at the beginning. But what really settled it was when the MiB saw the same host that greeted him as a young William and said something like “I figured they would have retired you by now.”

I either sit or keep one eye closed to turn the light on. That way when I turn it off, I open the closed eye and can easily see in the dark.

Over thanksgiving I visited the Weehawken dueling grounds where Hamilton was shot by Burr. Amazing place and amazing views of the city.

I share my account with other people, but we can’t all be using Netflix at the same time. I’m guessing this can be used as a way around it (at least for the shows you can download).

I guess I see, from the first few pictures, where people might get that idea. But the guy is about to turn 70 in a few months. I guess all the aging hit him at once over the past 25 or so years.

I’ve eaten lots of pizza. Haven’t worked out since Monday, and probably should get back at it. But I’ve also been reading a lot. Trying to figure out how we were so wrong this time around, and work to make it better next time. This hurts more than any breakup I’ve gone through.

Exactly. This graphic from the Times shows the massive shift in the Midwest. States like Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania that Obama won, and some that had voted democratic for over 20 years. Even Minnesota, which Clinton barely won, had a massive shift in the rural areas. The democrats took those states…

The handle will be given to Trump and all previous tweets will be deleted and archived by the national archives under a new handle @potus44.

I was thinking how I dealt with the bush years, but I was a kid who went from elementary school to high school during those eight years. I was and am lost about what happened last night, but I see it as an opportunity to organize and take it all back in 2018 and 2020.
