Yeah, um, in all my years of news junkie-ness during the W. Bush administration, or any administration, for that matter, I don't think I'd ever read a quote like this, from the AP:
For the dinner, Mrs. Obama wore a sleeveless, gold and cream colored sheath dress with an overlay of silver and matching shawl by Indian-born designer Naeem Khan. At the State Dining Room event earlier in the day, the first lady wore a skirt by Rachel Roy, who is Indian.
even with unemployment at an all-time high and Afghanistan policies ramped up and whatever else there is out there, there's just something a bit comfortind reading that today's state dinner was mostly vegetarian for India's prime minister, Singh, and that all sorts of inspiration was drawn from an international scope.
You see, the thing is, the very terrible fact of everything is, is that all policies will have a center-base. It's just this: where to the leanings, where to the branches outstretch to? And that's why I'll forever vote Democrat, instead of Green or Independent, when it comes to elections.
No matter the dire, yet less dire than they could have been, state of things, I still see the merits in voting for a mderate Democrat over any type Republican

Dancing in the Street with Bowie and Jagger
Three versions of "Dnacing in the Streets" with Mick Jagger and David Bowie are available on Youtube, and it's rather hilarious to watch them...Very homoerotic in the slow mo, very awesomely 80s in the fast mo and just all around nostalgic-ly fun in original mode:

Sam Adams Cream Stout - Adventures in Beer
Sam Adams Cream Stout - First, I would like to mention that Sam Adams Imperial Stout is one of my most favorite beers, period. That being said, their cream stout is merely just fine. I don't dislike it but it's nothing special. No fun notes on the tongue, nothing dazzling or strong, but nothing bad either. I won't be purchasing it again, but I don't mind having four more to drink in the fridge, you know what I mean?
New Books - Caterpillar 7, Paul Klee and even Anne Sexton (for relz)
New books!
Took a trip to Pazzo as part of this mid week day off. I picked up a few titles...
- Caterpillar 7 Vol II #2: very provocative cover in purple and green, a grid of turn you head sideways picture of what is maybe? perhaps? could be? body parts or bodies in the act of conjugation or just something to make it look that way...Don't know. Inside is Chapter 4 of Robert Duncan's book about HD, poems from Paul Blackburn, Cid Corman, Garrit Lansing and Jess - no artowrk, but two poems, one with some sheet music in it, even - Ted Enlsin and Allen Ginsberg among others. What a fun find!
- a $3 mixed b & w and color book on the art of Paul Klee
-Selected Poem of Anne Sexton because my friend Pete and I got in a fight about poetry. He called the Beats the disco of poetry and asked how I could call myself a feminist and not like Sylvia Plath. I said the Confessional poets didn't really do it for me because it was too much about the drama and not enough about the whole art of poetry. Anyway, to be a sport, and because she's appreciated by others whom I like quite a bit, I got the Anne Sexton books. It's good to have a rounded out collection, I think. Heavy on what you love, smatterings of others, just to keep yourself in check, I say.

Coffee House Porter - Adventures in Beer
Coffeehouse Porter, Berkshire Brewing Company - whoopsy! Be careful when you drink this as I believe it has some real caffeine in it and all that. It tasted delicious, even if it did keep me up late. This was for the better, though, since Season 3 of Dexter expired On Demand yesterday, so I was able to catch the last three episodes before they disappeared to DVD land.
This porter has a thick, sweet taste. It's toasty, as well.
(Note the entry's time stamp. I'm up late tonight because the non-drowsiness of Advil Cold and Sinus is just as effective as the decongestant for me. But I took it anyway, since I didn't want to have a headache throughout my shift at work.)
