Mr. President

History was made at noon - Barack Hussain Obama became the 44th president of the United States, and the first African-American president ever. Duh, right? How can you not know that? But, still, it's a big deal. I'm Canadian, but even I was anxious to tune in. And even though I'm a white, spoiled, rich Canadian, I found the ordeal - and his speech - moving. It's just such a wonderful moment in history. I like how Mr. Obama is extending the olive branch to the world in general, pretty much. Time has come today.

Fun fact: Barack is a lefty! Woo-hoo! High fives, I am too!

I'm looking forward to his presidency. I wish him well. It's about time there was a world leader everyone can look up to. He's attractive, well-spoken, very well educated - and generally is someone you can put your trust into. Plus, he danced on the Ellen DeGeneres show and appointed George Clooney the Ambassador to the Ellen DeGeneres show - how cute and down-to-earth is that? (And you can't help but love Michelle and the girls - all are too cute, and Michelle seems like a lovely, classy lady. That's always a good sign!)

In other news, I'm completely addicted to Cake Mania, this fun but silly game. Try it, but just make sure that nothing else needs to be done before you start, since it won't get done. I need to buy this game!!!! I considered buying the download, but I want to have a hard copy in case I want to install it again. Unfortunately I can only find it for $20. I've seen it at Wal-Mart for, like, $10 so many times - ugh, why didn't I buy it?!! When I go home this weekend I'll have to keep my eye out for it.

Anyway, that's pretty much it. I'm still waiting for word on our Afton tribute - more about that when I get the deets.

Enjoy the day, everyone.
