Yeah, I know I know, I’ve been MIA from eveninghour for a time. I just didn’t have much to say… That and have been feeling a little down in the dumps lately.
Anyhow! Yesterday I went to an ol’ high school chum’s place for a sleepover—and caught up with a lot of girls whom I haven’t seen since like, graduation—although I was the only one who stayed back the whole night (honestly, I wouldn’t be heading home at 4am, even if I had a car). We watched I am Sam, Kiss the Girls (lolz LUCIUS FOX) and Breakfast at Tiffany’s. All in all, an eclectic mix of tears, fear and romance.
So, who here’s staying up to watch Obama’s inaguration? I, who never really cared for Australian politics (but that doesn’t mean I’m not up-to-date), much less American (which I have to say is way more interesting). Like so many, I’ve been swept up in the ocean of hope for good change ahead. All our free-to-air stations will be showing it “live” at different times (ironic) between 1:30–6am. Will be so pleased to see the back of George W. Bush, and only sorry for the tremendous, irresponsible mess he’s leaving behind for the President-elect.
The power of image and typography:
Funnily I keep thinking to the time in The Dark Knight when Bruce held a fundraiser for Harvey Dent: “I believe in Harvey Dent”. So will Obama be our White Knight? Time will tell. Just hope no psychopathic Joker-type will be out to destroy him. ¬¬;; I saw a feature on Obama’s lucky trinkets in TIME magazine the other day. He does in fact have a few lucky coins on him! Should we be worried? 
(Yeah, trust me to make a vague reference to Batman. I could be talking about toilets and still segue back to Batman)
