Inspiration

Politics have always been an interest of mine, but this is the first election that truly offered me a candidate that made me feel like there's a possibility of major political change. I felt honored on Super Tuesday to cast my vote for Barack Obama. And it fills me with a sense of pride to see the country embrace him as a chance for a better future in this country.

Ask and ye shall receive

Interesting. The day after I complain about the weather, it heats up to the upper 60's. If only I'd known, I would have done it sooner.

I miss Paris

I'm stuck in San Francisco during a cold February. And by cold, I mean, thank heavens it is just nippy and not raining like it was last week.

I realize that Europe has got to be going through that temperature swing as well, but I can't help dreaming about last September, strolling down the Champs Elysees, shading my face from the sun.

Little Miss Marilyn Monroe

Back when I was a little girl (c. 1985), I used to stand over the heating vents in our house and let the air blow my dress up, just like Marilyn. I guess this was a year or two after I stopped wearing my panties on my head, and a couple of years before I spent my free time acting out Shakespeare plays with my stuffed animals.
