vitamins

first, it's nice to read Obama's speech with The String Quartet as your background.

second, it sometimes takes a fine and dandy piece of pop culture to slap the gore and glory of forgiveness on your face. though it was poorly edited, watching Mrs. Big again (with Steph, Carlos, Raissa and Dustin this time) still gets me teary-eyed, more like the average American gay guy. but who cares.

third, it's nice to read with The String Quartet as your background. thanks Raissa for the reintroduction. and i'm happy i didn't get Carlos into trouble today. not like yesterday after losing during round 1 of the first annual magnet high street spelling bee (congrats blueREP, you were great. so was spit).

fourth, those two stories Obama mentioned recently (read here):
1 "the story of our everyday cares and concerns" and
2 "the story of what happens in the wider world"

"a world that makes it easy to get caught up in the notion that there are actually two different stories at work in our lives," well i think i'm making progress.

yes, 21 made me even more guilty but this other movie allowed me to laugh at myself all the more. and a giggle, a chuckle, a laugh

especially at your own self
makes a lot of good sense.


fifth, babushka is spelled as such.
