I thought it interesting that in the state of Mississippi, when Barack and Michelle waved and exited the stage, the crowd seemed to overwhelmingly cheer and approve them. Here's hoping that this is a sign of the very long way that we have come.

oh, i get it........ the mccain team decided that their sound bite would be "what senator obama doesn't understand....." shysty little devils.......it's short and sweet and most importantly mccain can remember it. the albino iguana has embraced the "new transparency" yet fails to understand that their panties are showing. or rather, depends.....

gotta stop sobbing..... it will be what it is and you will process it when you hear it........ what the fuck are you worried about?

oops- wrong site.......http://teamcushman.com/2007/10/15/goal-and-can-we-now-have-a-moment-of-silence/

http://www.theheartlessbastards.com/main.html i thought this was a hoot- this is my boss's blog....evidently there is no cheering aloud at this game.....they decided that the audience should be silent and only indicate pleasure in specifically described non-verbal ways....i'm a frigging liberal and yet this annoys me..........

also, jack white and brendan benson at my local starbucks- benson totally rocking the skinny jeans and hipster lid pharrell sitting next to me at dinner around 4:30 one afternoon- he was surprised at the check but paid for his half of the meal- again with the manners

thank you. now that i am over those 2 hurdles i have to deal with the almost 16 year old.......she is away in the outer banks with a friend this week, but i told her that our conversation about her sexuality will be ongoing......basically she is on ice until she gets back. so, now i have to deal with this new wrinkle....obviously i have a responsibility to make sure she is safe and not getting pregnant- so- do i put her on birth control and essentially condone the behavior? do i call this kid's parents and give them a heads up? ( i had half a mind to go to their home at midnight after i found

sorry- but passionate typing is not always good typing

thank you- i felt like a real heel and even changed my signature but realize now that that was in vain......it's been a helluva year for me- i passed that friggin series 7 test that i don't even care about but needed o keep my job and my health insurance, just wanted my oldest to have something i never got and to feel ready for it.....after that i had exactly one day of feeling like i was caefree and then found out that my younger daughter just had lost her virginity at her 'boyfriend's' house during the exactly 60 minutes that she was there after i dropped her off to visit while his friggin p

so no one is going to try to make me feel better about drunken posting? ah well. i did pass and also got my daughter off to college this week and she was very prepared thanks to all of the suggestions from you vc'ers......lammy- she was smitten with the old typewriter

ugh- sorry- i had been studying for months for a big exam - i was under a lot of stress and had sworn off all recreational escapes- hadn't done anything for months but had a few drinks that night- got a little weird after a conversation with a friend- must have been pretty lit. the good news is that i passed. the bad news is that i was pretty mortified by that post and didn't even check out the forum for a good while.

Exene Cervanka at a barbeque at CalArts- very nice manners Ursula Andress next to me on Sunset Blvd. Ned Beatty-his son went to my high school- poor kid never had a chance what with Deliverance Paul and Bunny Mellon- I truly believe that they had found the secret to making shit not stink Robert Duvall- owned a restaurant near where I grew up in VA- dancer wife was not to be messed with Jackie Kennedy- goddess horseback-rider owned a farm near where I grew up- pretty seat on a horse Jerry Garcia- as community service for infractions of the law he played a show on an aircraft carrier

I just got off the phone with a dear friend who has a son who is borderline autistic. He is thirteen and is very good with money but is a total wash when it comes to interpersonal skills.. He has two parents who deeply care about his ability to 'relate' with the 'normal' world but are also self-made and minorities to boot. I want to tell them to keep nurturing his empathetic and compassionate qualities while disregarding the 'pull' toward a very expensive private school which will give him cred but maybe not real accomplishment. what do you see as the real pitfalls in either case in terms of b

Also by Elizabeth Gilbert- "The Last American Man"- true story of a real character named Eustace Conway- I can recommend her writing!

*Far, Far Away worked on me. We really hadn't known each other very long, maybe just seen each other a handful of times, but somehow we ended up taking off on a Friday morning and heading out to the Blue Ridge Parkway with a tent in the trunk and a handful of his cd's in the player. I knew a little about his musical leanings but no clue that he liked Wilco. That song starting coming through the speakers as we neared the place we were going to camp, two people who really didn't know each other, a little nervous that we'd committed to a weekend in the wild to boot.....I felt infinitely more comf

When I first come to this country in seventeen-forty-nine, I saw many fair lovers, but never saw mine. I looked all around me, and found I was alone. Me a poor stranger, and a long way from home. Down in some lonesome valley, down in some lonesome place, Where the wild birds do whistle their notes to increase, I think of pretty Saro whose waist is so neat And I know of no better pastime than to be with my sweet. My love she won't have me, so I understand She wants a free-holder, who owns house and land. I cannot maintain her with silver and gold, Nor buy all th

I'll second that- and maybe a solo show at the NorVa.

I second this- my daughters loved it and they enjoyed the film as well.

thanks! i'll take a look!
