I have recently become kind of self-conscious about blogs, blogging, and the stigma of being "a blogger" and as a result have had some difficulty thinking of good topics to blog about. Almost everything that I think of to potentially blog about seems too... well too SOMETHING. Too political. Too whiny. Too boring. Too cliché. Too polarizing. Too hard to articulate clearly. Too egocentric. Too, etc...
So that's why my blog entries have been kind of sparse lately. Sorry.
DC is great. I am so glad I moved here (although I do miss driving the bus too). My job is fairly interesting and I haven't really messed anything up yet, I don't think. I have been enjoying living with Lisa and William in their beautiful new freshly-renovated home and I am very gracious for the sacrifices they have had to make in order to accommodate me, but I have also been looking for somewhere else to live so I don't have to continue mooching off relatives. Unfortunately, that housing search has not been going very well yet. I'm not worried about it; I'm sure I'll find somewhere eventually.
In honor of me having a 9-to-5 job now, today I'm putting up videos of two different versions of the same song (9-to-5) by everyone's favorite punky British gal, Lady Sovereign. The first video is a cover by the Ordinary Boys featuring Lady Sovereign, then the second one is Lady Sovereign's original version (as I understand it). I like the Ordinary Boys cover version of the song a little better, but I think I like Lady Sovereign's video better because I'm a sucker for voice-overs and double-decker buses. There is actually a third, more home-movie-quality video also (the first version of the Ordinary Boys' cover before they made this video which I posted here) but I thought it would just be too overkill for me to post three videos of the same song, so you can see that video at this link:
