The inauguration is expected to be a fanfare of good spirits... and apparently, of magic. Rumors from around the internet suggest that Obama is expected to reveal himself as the Second Coming of Christ, and with a wave of his hand make all the boo-boos go away.

SNL suddenly gets brilliant and... dare I say it... FUNNY?
Holy Crap. Tina Fey suddenly becoming politically relevant! You gotta watch this.
Oh, ps - I'm living in Chicago. More on that later! :)

What happens when Joss Whedon visits Best Week Ever
Christ. You'd think I'm some kind of Whedon fanboy. Fact is, I live in Michigan, in my parent's basement, jobless and only half in school, and have nothing better to do at the moment. Wow. Never listed my life all "bam, bam, bam" like that before. I'm like the friggin' poster boy for Whedon's core audience. Great.

Joss Whedon's Dark Horse Comics Presents
The first installment of Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer's escapades in e-comic book format wooha!
Yeah, it's at MySpace (unfortunately), but at least the site isn't a fugly hellish trainwreck so common among the MySpace hipsters, which is good.
Oh yes, one more thing - check out the "Follow me" page and toss me some feedback as to how completely disgusting it looks. I've been playing around with FriendFeed and Dipity, each of which have their own virtues that I'll probably write about later. The idea with both of them, it seems, is to consolidate activity in this new Web 2.0 craziness, which up until their creation, depended upon ridiculously heavy use of RSS aggregators, Adobe AIR clients, and god knows what else. Given my hatred of Facebook and MySpace, who I continually argue just don't get it when it comes to social networking (yeah yeah I know they're making millions, but just you watch, they'll die off soon enough!) I kind of like the idea behind FriendFeed - let people chose whatever services they like best online (instead of forcing them into the craptasm that is Facebook apps), and just monitor all the activity they chose to share.
It's really kinda sweet, and I suppose if they'd pretty up the site itself, and make it not look so foofy, I might actually visit it, instead of trying to re-create it through widgets (which ultimately bring them no eyeballs and no chance for ad revenue).
Anyway, I'm off to bed. Didn't get much sleep last night and I'm not feeling particularly interesting tonight. Cheerio all!

The Return
Good life follows good news - I'm returning to Chicago! After dealing with a broken neck for 5.5 months now, the doc has finally given me clearance to move on and move the FCSK(!!) out of Michigan, and back home with a statement that just sang to my ears: "The physical therapy seems to be working for you, let's put surgery on the back burner and see how it goes." WOOHA!
What this basically means to me is that I don't have to stick around in Michigan waiting for a horrific and gruesome spinal/brainstem surgery (cut open my throat, cut out part of my cervical neck disks, fuse all vertebrae with cadaver bones, be left with no neck movement for the rest of eternity), and perhaps, someday, I can start racing motorcycles again (well he didn't say that, but if my neck movement is going to work as well has it has this month, then *I* say so).
Kicker is, aside from the fact that I don't have to stick around Michigan for months waiting for surgery and having my poor old folks waiting on me hand and foot, post-surgery, I can actually get back outside and not spend every frigging waking moment thinking about how close I am to losing all feeling in my right side! All I have to do is continue on the path my PT Darren Webb (you ROCK Darren!!) over at Sindacuse medical center at WMU has sent me. This is awesome. I'm applying for jobs tomorrow in Chicago, hopefully in the tech policy or journalism areas (arstechnica.com, here I come!) Very exciting time!
EDIT: I still love murderous mormon psycho-bitches. :)
