The Obamas and a room full of White House guests in 3-D glasses? Need I say anything else? I think the awesomeness of the picture speaks for itself.

I was recently introduced to Ethiopian food, so I'd already tried it once by the time I wined and dined in Washington D.C. [after the Inauguration, may I add]. So far, I haven't developed any favourites, but I did absolutely adore the honey wine I had with the food, Tej. It was exquisite, and I plan on unwinding after my qualifying exams with a well deserved glass of Tej =) [pronounced something like Tesh].

That's all I really have to say...so far, I like Ethiopian food, but nothing has stood out as my absolute favourite yet. Stay tuned.

I think the above quote from my little cousin Myra in Jamaica best captures the Obama phenomenon is from my little cousin Myra in Jamaica. She had to go to bed before the results came out, but she was certain that there was no other possible outcome.

I will never forget November 4th, 2008. Since 2000, I've been increasingly cynical about politics and the world in general, but over the course of Obama's campaign, I've found myself hoping against all odds that he would make it. Going on Green Street afterwards and being in the middle of a crowd of hundreds of college kids overjoyed....I mean I don't have words to describe it.

Chants of "No More Bush!", "Yes We Can!" and "Obama! Obama!" reverberated through the streets.
