update on things and/or stuff

- sorry for the sparse posting. blogging is difficult when a 3 month old cairn terrier is pooping on your rug.

- i have a love/hate thing going on with my job.

- when the virus ate my old compy, i lost portishead's third album. this makes me blue, as the record is amazing. must trudge though snow this weekend and visit aka records to buy a hard copy of the album. screw itunes.

- stuart, plz come visit philly and meet the dog before he is full grown. you've got to see how tiny he is in person. wallace fits comfortably in a small backpack.

- i am throwing a valentines day ice cream social at work. the flyers are awesome and i'm really looking forward to making my own sundae. hell yeah.

- do you have any friends/contacts at DC think tanks? of course you do. let's network.

have some kylie...

i can't be the only one who misses melrose place, can i?

Madonna and Child

Heads up to stuart's ladyfriend (nickname pending?) for this one.

Congratulations President Obama

"For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus — and non-believers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth; and because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation, and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace. "

movie review: no reservations

last night, wallace and i watched no reservations. i was in the mood for a light and predictable romantic flick, so i assumed this movie would bring that to the table. (look! i made a pun!) but it didn't. the plot is semi-adequate and the casting is terrible. aaron eckhart is really awesome in thank you for smoking. but as a whimsical and unpredicatable chef? meh. perhaps i couldn't get over his awful hair. and don't even get me started on CZJ. blech!

what i'm listening to...

- ar rahman: ringa ringa
- girl talk: warm it up
- busta rhymes: dangerous
- jesse g: that's hot
- bowie: oh you pretty things
- mates of state: now
- beatles: twist and shout
- loopless: pink blue hotel
- van morrison: virgo clowns
