I Can Tell That We Are Gonna Be Friends

I regularly feel like Hulbz and I have subtextual blogversations.

Today at work I had this moment where my inner happier self groaned "how can you be soooooo lame" at office politics but I just vaguely shuddered in my gray shift dress and went about my business.

Everything at work stopped for the inauguration. I watched it with a bunch of heavy minds. It will be criticized a lot, not unlike his whole term, but I approve and liked his technique. Although maybe the whole thing could have been summed up in the benediction that followed - the first time I've said Amen in a long time, man.

I'm happy for my American friends. And was secretly totally afraid throughout the event that he'd get shot.

So, I'm having this exchange.

I met a dude through friends who has been persistent in his friendship. He wrote something offhand, a single line, and I sent a newspaper article in response. He was actually referring to the recent book by the columnist, which is crazy obscure and science nerdy. He recommended an unrelated documentary, it looks exactly like something I would watch. Sometimes I wish I could form a colloquium of all people I know like this and we could sit around drinking things that are not scotch and carousing.
