this is seriously up there on my list of pet peeves...people that dress their animals. sometimes a sweater is necessary, but full on outfits are ridiculous, as are halloween costumes. let them be critters. so, on this day, when crazy get-ups are the norm, please don't put them on your pet. (this has been a public service announcement from babycashmere)

my aunt catherine...fierce female vol. 3
this is my great-aunt catherine dewey who turns 100 this sunday. aside from having been on this earth for 100 years, which is quite an accomplishment in and of itself, also graduated from portia law school (now the new england school of law) at a time when women weren't encouraged to pursue higher education, much less law school, aaaaaaaaaaaaand, (this is the kicker) SHE STARTED THE FIRST ALL FEMALE LAW FIRM IN THE UNITED STATES. she's precious.
a brief rant...
what has happened to common courtesy? today, i was riding the t to work, as i do every day, and usually, i enjoy my time on public transportation, as it is an excellent opportunity to fulfill my anthropological curiosity and people watch. and one of the things that i have noticed is the lack of of common courtesy. it really is reprehensible, i mean, if you are able bodied (i know its early and i know that you're tired) and you see and elderly person or a pregnant woman standing, GIVE THEM YOUR SEAT. its really that simple. if you are a person who keeps count of these things, you can offer it up, or feel good knowing that you did your good deed for the day. so, moral of the story is, BE POLITE.

a case of you
Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as a northern star
And I said, constant in the darkness
Wheres that at?
If you want me Ill be in the bar
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue tv screen light
I drew a map of canada
Oh canada
And your face sketched on it twice
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh Id still be on my feet
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
Im frightened by the devil
And Im drawn to those ones that aint afraid
I remember that time that you told me, you said
Love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine
Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
Still Id be on my feet
And still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said
Color go to him, stay with him if you can
Oh but be prepared to bleed
Oh but you are in my blood youre my holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
Still Id be on my feet
Id still be on my feet
I am as constant as a northern star
And I said, constant in the darkness
Wheres that at?
If you want me Ill be in the bar
On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue tv screen light
I drew a map of canada
Oh canada
And your face sketched on it twice
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh Id still be on my feet
Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
Im frightened by the devil
And Im drawn to those ones that aint afraid
I remember that time that you told me, you said
Love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine
Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
And you taste so bitter but you taste so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
Still Id be on my feet
And still be on my feet
I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your life
She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said
Color go to him, stay with him if you can
Oh but be prepared to bleed
Oh but you are in my blood youre my holy wine
Oh and you taste so bitter, bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you darling
Still Id be on my feet
Id still be on my feet

undecided voters
David Sedaris sums up undecided voters this election, ""I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. 'Can I interest you in the chicken?' she asks. 'Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?' To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked."
thank-you notes
since it is the day after mah bertday, gotta get started on those thank-you notes ( i do not lack breeding, and besides, i don't know why no one sends them anymore. its a nice gesture and everyone likes being acknowledged.) leave it to marilyn to class it up on the left. short, sweet, and to the point. what else can you say about a bottle of champagne?
10 questions
i love on-demand. like, really love it. probably more than i should. aside from being able to watch whatever i am obsessed with at the moment whenever i want (CAPADOCIA), i generally manage to stumble across some excellent stuff...new series, indy flix, and documentaries. which brings me to this point...a documentary called 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama. before watching it, i had what i guess i could call a basic outline/understanding of the political situation in Tibet, the inhumanities being committed there, as well as the influence of the Dalai Lama. but it wasn't until i saw the movie i realized what an enlightened individual he is. aside from being incredibly endearing (he reminds me of someone's grampy), he is just so smart, astute, and on point. after watching the documentary, i realized why so many people look to him not only as a spiritual leader, but also as leading figure in global politics and relations. so, in short, on-demand 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama, which presents an amazing portrait of a beautiful country, rich in history and culture, lead by a man filled with knowledge and enlightenment. what would you ask with 10 questions?
