I have to start frantically cleaning my apartment in order to prepare for the arrival of a future sister-in-law shaped visitor (my parents don't want her and the Wrestler to stay in the same place for, well, reasons that I'm sure you can divine).

I, ummm, I think I've joined the Obama White House fandom. I can't stop reading news articles (like this fascinating behind the scenes look at the campaigns) and hanging on every rumor about who the President-Elect will appoint to his cabinet.
