Phoenix isn't just a city in Arizona...

...it is also an apt metaphor for my blog and its resuscitation. After careful consideration (thinking about this for about 5 min at 3 in the morning), and the constant encouraging I have received from my friends (who apparently have pretty low standards for both comedy and commentary), I have decided to continue my musings and to continue blogging. Honestly, I am flattered that some people think that this is worth reading (on occasion) and that it is even worth laughing at (at even less-frequent occasions), and I would be glad to continue being used for their amusement. Sorta like a circus monkey. Or Russell Crowe.

"Are you not entertained?"

One reason to continue this blog is perhaps less evident. One might remember that its original purpose was to give an update on my travels/adventures/shenanigans, especially this last semester in Scotland. Fortunately, I have been able to top my previous travels/adventures/shenanigans with a destination that is even more, exotic, foreign, alien and unknown than the mysterious Scottish lands; and will be just as informative and insightful for you the loyal reader. I am currently on an entirely different planet. That is right. From now on, this entire blog will be about my time in D.C. And if you don't believe me that I am currently on an alien world, then how do you explain this:

Stuff like this happens all the time, I promise.

So, I encourage you all to check in on occasion, as I am hopefully going to have a lot of fun with this,  and hopefully you will to. And, maybe I'll be serious too. Maybe.

P.S. I know I left off last season with a cliff-hanger about explaining and processing my semester in Scotland. Don't worry, that is coming, we just have a story arc or two about evil twins and time travel, as well as love interests with guest-stars to go through first. I promise the conclusion to the Scotland story by the May sweeps.
