Yes, there is a new look - I was getting tired of looking at a dark screen, and even though I loved the template I had before, I needed a change. I won’t admit how long it took me to settle on this and even though it looks different, and makes my words look more naked than they already are, I’ll keep it. If you’re a wordpress user and have suggestions for other templates, let me know - I’m always open to aesthetic suggestions.

Also, yeah, I definitely haven’t written a lot in the last three weeks - but that’s how it goes, isn’t it? When you have the time to blog, you don’t necessarily want to blog at all - and when you’re swamped with work, that’s when you’re itching to put it all down on virtual paper.

In any case, I’m headed towards my last semester of college; there are too many feelings associated with this that aren’t worth writing about because such is the nature of change, and transition. I’m in the process of looking for a job - offers, links, connections and words of wisdom are of course, most welcome.

What I have been doing for the last three weeks is reading - I check my feed about five times a day and I’m loving the opportunity I have to check the blogs I love, read the news frequently, and think about politics a little bit more. This blog is political but not about politics, however, which means I don’t really feel ready to blog about Bhutto or the U.S. primaries or Obama vs. Hillary. I feel fine about this - there are bloggers who are writing about these things and they have been doing it longer and do it better than I ever could.

I’ve also been making my way through The Wire. What a fantastically well-written show.

This post was written mostly to dip my toes back into the blogging waters - but I’ve been turning a lot of things over in my head, so I will be writing steadily over the next couple of days.
