Welcome

Jumpingpanda. That's the name of my site, and no, I have no idea what it means.

I really wanted to call my site 'Eeyore'. Why? Because I like Winnie the Pooh, but he is a glutton. Plus I don't like honey. Its sticky. And Eeyore is more morose. Kind of like me. He is a sad donkey. And I am a sad Democrat. (At least I think I am a Democrat, my sister seems skeptical.) It just seemed so fitting. But if you do want to visit the Eeyore site, you should, so here it is.

Then I thought, why not call my site 'Blind Assassin' because it sounds cool. And it is also the name of a Margret Atwood book. For some bizarre reason I even have two copies of it. But no. That too was taken.

Then I thought about 'sparkle', but my friend said it sounded like a pornstar site and my sister said it sounded like a 10-year old rich girl who wanted to be a princess. Well I just wanted to call it sparkle because I like shiny/sparkly things. Seriously, what girl doesn't.

Anyway, so after much trial and error and guessing at names, I ended up with jumpingpanda. It seems that no one else wanted the name. Surprise, surprise.

In spite of this somewhat inauspicious beginning, I hope this blog is fun and that someone besides me will read it. I like to talk about politics, school, business, movies, TV, books, anything pop culture related (for example, why does Katie Holmes look like she is 3mos pregnant when she supposedly only knew like yesterday).

More to come soon.
