people say she’s crazy…

from this piece of excellence:
BARTLET [to Obama]: GET ANGRIER! Call them liars, because that’s what they are. Sarah Palin didn’t say “thanks but no thanks” to the Bridge to Nowhere. She just said “Thanks.” You were raised by a single mother on food stamps — where does a guy with eight houses who was legacied […]

Remember this? Well. Mom and Dad flew in today, and after a tasty dinner, we traipsed into the park and saw Hair. It was the second preview. I guess I should be a responsible member of the theatergoing public (ha, Public) and not say anything about it until it actually opens, so I won’t.

You know how I have some problems with the things people do on public transportation? Well, JC and I experienced a whole new world of annoyance today on our way to a delicious brunch at Sunburst.

Yesterday, I gave Emily hell about not posting for a while, and in the process realized that I, too, am a bad blogger. So for an update on why I haven’t, please see Em’s post, because I can say the exact same thing, just replace “Ashley’s wedding” with “Molly and Chris’ engagement party,” and […]

Happy Belated New Year!Happy Belated Birthday to Me!
Yes, I realize other things happen in the first three weeks of a year, but let’s face it, these are the only two anyone talks about. Both were relatively quiet nights. One was rainier than the other.
