A Political Rest

The elections are over and while things did not turn out in a most ideal fashion, they certainly could have been worse (aka: Christine O'Donnell). It's come to my attention that I have a slightly unhealthy obsession with politics. It's exhausting to constantly scan the New York Times for the latest news. I'm always reading some history book or another, which I love, but I'm usually left with a head ache birthed from frustration. I take politics personally.

As such, I'm going to attempt to pull away from my stream of headlines and history and focus my attention on something utterly unimportant. For instance, today I was reading about Disney World's upcoming expansion of Fantasyland. Later, I may even play a game on my computer. Who knows? It's time to go crazy!

In line with my hiatus, I have an announcement to make. I am now a redhead. I'm not quite used to it yet, and I'm certainly not sure if I like it or not. For some reason, when my hair is crazy (like 3/4 of the time) it makes it look even more insane. I'll learn to love it eventually. If not, I can always make another trip to the salon.

Another exciting (but not too exciting) thing I've been doing today is reading about the Jaws ride at Universal Studios. Jaws, being the classic that it is, is my favorite ride there. Can you imagine my excitement when I discovered pictures of it completely dry?! I never had any idea how shallow the lagoon is. Seeing the sharks just hanging out is pretty awesome. I love knowing how things work, not that I understand most if not any of the mechanisms. I can't wait to ride it again soon!
