Over winter break I was on my friend Deanna’s laptop and I set my blog as her homepage. When I got back to school, I proceeded to set up a
account for this blog. I quickly saw that I had a lot of readers in Florida, but had no inkling as to why.
Today, Deanna posted a comment on my blog bitching that since my blog is her homepage, I should dedicate a post to her. I then realized that Deanna goes to college in Florida and that would explain the mass amount of readers from the “oh so lovely” state of Florida. In other words, this blog post is dedicated to Deanna.

Obama Signs Equal-Pay Legislation
By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG
Published: January 30, 2009
President Obama signed his first bill into law on Thursday, approving legislation that expands workers’ rights to sue over pay discrimination.
I just want to point out one sentence from that article: “They looked over his shoulder, practically glowing, as Mr. Obama signed his name to the bill, using one pen for each letter.”
One thing Obama campaigned against was waste and unnecessary pomp in government, yet he goes and signs a bill into law using eleven pens to sign his name. ELEVEN PENS! That is ridiculous and unnecessary. I am certainly an Obama supporter, but give me a break!

I love Austinites addicted to scratch games.
I needed to represent New York somehow in the dorm room, so I bought a New York State Flag.

The roomates claimed they will be buying a Texas flag, but we’ll see about that one.
I was walking to class and spilled coffee on my shorts.

I bought a “travel mug” to prevent myself from doing so again.
