Obama inauguration and my cats

when brown can stick around
when yellow can be mellow
when red can get ahead
when white can do what is right.
- Rev Lowery at the Obama inauguration

So. Bush is actually GONE. Can you believe that? I still can't. I think it's going to take a while to realize we're just not going to be seeing his face anymore. YAY. And obviously YAY for the guy replacing him being Obama. I didn't get very emotional watching the inauguration, and I wasn't all that convinced by his speech, but the massive crowd of people, that was amazing. I so wish I could have been in the middle of that, taking photos.

Now, we'll see. Where he takes the U.S. and what decisions he makes and what he achieves. I do have faith he can make a difference within a certain framework, and I really hope he will do just that. I'm glad that I'll be here to witness this and cheer and complain and all that stuff. I want him to do great things. And to keep being an endearing human being, like how he and the Chief Justice mixed up lines for the oath. That was awesome.

I'm really curious to see what Michelle Obama is going to do and stuff, too. I instinctively want to like her, just like Barack.

On the pets front, we have
1) a mommy cat in heat (thankfully she only rubs up against everything she can and offers herself to anyone who'll pass her by, no spraying or loud yodeling or anything). It's... interesting. I'd never seen an animal in heat before.
2) a new kitten who's been diagnosed with cerebellar hypoplasia. It's really mild compared to MeiMei Chloe, but it's definitely there. Little Fiona can still jump and get up on the back of the couch so I don't think it'll be a big problem in her life.

Rev. Lowery cracked up my shit, seriously <3. Unlike the pastor who did the opening prayer. Bah.

Hee, I loved Obama and the Justice. He was all 'I'll just wait here until you correct the line you're supposed to be feeding me, mkay?'. Precious! I'm sure he'll be able to accomplish at least a few of the five million promises he's been making - I just hope there won't be a huge backlash when the first setback occurs. People seem to forget he's human.

I saw him all over newspaper frontlines today and was like: oh, yeah, right, I had forgotten that after being president-elect he'd become president at some point!
