LIVE from the Senate!

Today at work, my intern friends and I talked about blogging. In the process, we found out that we all had our own blogs! Aren't we cool?
And, in fact, they ARE pretty cool! Here are the links to their respective blogs.

Drew: To You from Drew
Drew is the most dedicated blogger of us all. He started his blog today and already has 6 posts. I'm pretty sure that's just as many, if not more, posts than Taco and I have put up in the span of several months.
Warning: The picture of Sarah Palin may cause nightmares.

Jill:
Jill has 2!
I Love Michelle Obama
This blog focuses solely on the beautifully classy style of our lovely First Lady, Michelle Obama. I ADORE this blog. I love both fashion AND Michelle Obama. What more could I ask for?
Just Jill
This is Jill's personal blog, where she posts things she thinks are cool. And, indeed they are cool!

Taz:
The Voice of Youth is the Voice of Reason
I just met Taz today, and I am happy to say that we hit it off at once. His blog parodies "hipsters." Quite the entertaining read.


These are all very interesting blogs, and I encourage you to visit, peruse, and follow them! I really did enjoy them all. :)


Anyways, I think it's time for an update on my life. What has happened since December? More fittingly, what hasn't happened?

It is now the year 2010. I can't believe that it has already been 10 years since Y2K. It seems like just yesterday when I stayed up celebrating the turn of the new millennium. But... it has. I might as well get used to it. I am getting old.

I have also been working in the U.S. Senate this semester. It's been pretty awesome! Sure, there have been some bad days, but overall, I have definitely enjoyed working here.
And on that same note, Health Care Reform is law! I can't even express how excited I am for our country. Thank you Congress. Thank you President Obama. We appreciate all that you do for America.

Summer is starting to creep up! I can't wait. I love love love Georgetown, and I don't want to leave, but I am definitely ready to stop thinking for several months. I'm also ready to make lots of money this summer! I already got a call from a prospective client for my tutoring business today! I was soooo excited. :) I am such a nerd.

Anyways, I am coming back to Texas on May 16th. Finals are my last obstacle to that momentous day. That and... actually going to class. I really have a problem with that.

But, I digress. I have decided that Taco and I need more pictures/videos on our blog to spice things up a little bit.
As a result, I end this really long post with both a video AND a picture! They both relate to my beautiful state of Texas.


I really, really, really want this shirt from Urban. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy it so that I can represent Tejas!

TEXAS SHIRT!





I ADORE kevjumba. He's originally from Texas, so in this video, he and PapaJumba go watch Texas Stadium implode.
Although that's kind of sad, the video is HILARIOUS. Watch it!

P.S. Don't forget to visit my friends' blogs!

A gay mayor...in Texas?!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_houston_mayor

So, when I first saw this article on Yahoo today, I was like WHAT?! Houston elected a lesbian mayor?! This is in Texas!

Now, let me get this straight. I love Texas. Everyone knows this. BUT, no one can argue against the fact that Texas is a very traditional, Republican state. I mean, sure, Texas has its liberal hotspots, like Austin, but I'm sure that everyone agrees with me when I say that same-sex marriage will most likely not be legalized in Texas until the Supreme Court rules that it must.

Anyways, I personally believe that the LGBTQ movement is the civil rights movement of our generation, so I am sure that you can imagine what my reaction was. I quickly clicked on the article and just gobbled it up.

Here are the facts:
Annise Parker is Houston's newly elected mayor. Houston became the largest U.S. city to elect a openly gay mayor when it did so on December 12th.
There were two main candidates running on Saturday's run-off election: Parker and Locke, both Democrats. Parker edged out Locked with 53.6% of the vote.

Granted, the election only had 16.5% turnout. And neither campaign made Parker's sexual orientation the focus of their campaign, which is how it should be. I commend both candidates for doing so. (And I'm sure both candidates also did so for their own self-interest, but let's just give them some credit now.)

But still, good job Houston! Kudos to you!

Leave your comments below. I'd love to hear what you think about this election. :)

Blog Virgins!= Blirgins (?)

Hey Y'all (or for you Californians, Hey),

Welcome to our Blog! This Blog, appropriately titled "Tacos with Kimchi," is the brainchild of two fabulous, intelligent, supafly Georgetown students, Jenni Ortiz (Tacos) and Sooji Kim(chi).

Hey! That's us!

Yes, Sooji. That is us. Anyway, we created this blog to discuss all sorts of issues.

Yup! For example, the first topic will be.... (Drumroll please) Texas v. California!!

Actually Sooji, I think it should be titled California v. Texas. We all know who the winner is here..the best in the West...CALIFORNIA!

Ha! You are a funny one. Hearing that makes me chuckle... in embarrassment. Obviously, TEXAS is numero uno. :)

Don't whip out the Spanish on me, chica. We have just as many Hispanics in California (jk we have more) than you do in Tejas.

Well, this debate could go on literally forever, so we want your input! DING! The great TEXAS v. california debate begins!

Um...the great CALIFORNIA (Golden State, place of miracles, promised land) v. texas (place of.........) begins. You guys choose either one, but we want evidence to back it up. No "It's great because that's where I live" comments allowed. Be Creative!

Yeehaw! Let's go!

XOXO
