new glasses; macguffin found
Shabby chic? More like high fashion, biatch. Validation.
Under false pretenses, my mother decided it was time for me to get new glasses -- new frames, really. So, dashing her hopes that I might regress back towards the classic Indian look and settle for diminutive metal frames, I stepped it up a notch. Very few frames are inherently suited for my face, so I presume this step will also take a week or two of adjustment, at which point, you will teeter towards deciding that they are an improvement. (Sadly, I could not stick with the Gucci brand name this time around. It's a hideable DKNY this time.)
The DNC hits town this coming week, and who would've guessed it, but a big California contingent of delegates is staying at Baker House. That, of course, means that I get to spend my day handing out maps of MIT, checking people in, and talking up the Stata Center. It's going to be a long 12 hours at desk today.
Whoopi was booted as SlimFast spokesman as a result of her Bush bashing at a Kerry gala some weeks ago. Who really wants to look like Whoopi anyway. (I always felt that she looked better as Guinan with that hair-shroud on anyway, and even at that, she conveyed the creepy vibe.) The conservative talk show men went nuts about Whoopi making fun of Bush at Kerry's gala, and so Kerry caught flack and now Margaret Cho won't be performing at some DNC-related event this week.
On a related note, someone please remind me why the nation should care about these political conventions? I mean, for people who are politically uninformed, they amount to little more than boring white men and your occasional minority giving bio-speeches about their candidate. And for people who are politically informed, it's no better than C-SPAN on an average day. Kerry won't even be at the DNC until 3 days after it begins, because he's on another swing state tour. So the point is that at the end of a C-SPAN marathon, John and John make speeches to accept the nomination? Is this worth caring about? (Yes, I realize that the delegates vote, but nobody cares about that either).
I found my MacGuffin. Been searching all week -- and now, it's a good feeling.

Seems kind of poor style to show up 3 days after it begins, nomination in the bag or not. Is that typical?
