Faintly irritated on this auspicious day...

Obama's speech! ♥

I hate his speechwriter for being twenty-seven!!! [/inane jealousy]

They told us at work that we could watch the inauguration online and then cried foul when we slowed the network to a crawl. Seriously, they got on the BIG intercom, like the voice of God, and told us to get the fudge off the internets. FAIL. So, I had to listen to it on TPR, which would have been fine but I kept getting interrupted by people asking inane questions about work. *sheesh* So many in Texas, not big fans of the new President...

I finally got to watch and listen to his address in its entirety tonight and it was beautiful. Very moving and a kick in the pants at the same time. I love that he didn't sugarcoat it. I love what he said about his father not being served at a local restaurant because my parents tell similar stories. The whole thing just filled me with hope and that, my dear friends, is a miracle in and of itself.
