R ggplot2 qplot - connect the data points with a line

Question

I am using the following code to plot in R:

q <- qplot(var1, var2, data=data_1)
q + theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1))

which gives me this plot:

How can I get a line which connects the dots of the various points?

Here are the datasets:

> cat(sprintf("\"%s\" \"%f\"\n", data_1$var1, data_1$var2))

 "2012Q2" "NA"
 "2012Q3" "NA"

You can just add geom_line(), like:

q <- qplot(var1, var2, data=data_1)
q <- q + geom_line(aes(group = 1))
q + theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1))
