swingchickiei am getting so excited about my trip to boston for J's wedding in a few weeks. i should have a lot of project stuff wrapped up by then, so i'm hoping i can really relax for those few days. one thing i'm in denial about is that i'm performing the actually wedding ceremony... i really need to buckle down this week and write my parts out. i have some good ideas, but i need to put hands to keyboard to see if they really work.
on a totally different note, i saw a news clip online today where our president brought birthday cupcakes out to helen thomas at the start of the daily white house press briefing. this may sound stupid, but i freaking love that he does stuff like that. i'm one of those people who believes it's the little things you do that show your true character... so being thoughtful enough to bring a plate of cupcakes out to her makes him a lot more real than so many other politicians. same with the whole fiasco with the harvard professor who was arrested at his own house recently -- obama made an off-the-cuff comment about it during a press moment, but then later admitted that he spoke too soon (how many politicians actually admit they misspoke?), and had the two men over for a beer. i wasn't thrilled with all the attention placed on the "beer summit", i thought that was stupid, but the fact that he wants to get people to sit down and talk about their differences hit a good note with me.

It's amazing how my dad can be so anti-. But at least he's amusing about it. :-)
