::My Crisp Collection - see left. Thank you, Niki.::Teany - Making the world a teany bit better. These delicious iced tea/juice drinks rock. A delightful change from water for me. Created by international recording star, Moby. Available only in NYC (sigh.)
:: Pho Bo by Pho Van - You would think (and I've noted) that spicy food is a little difficult for me. Why then, do I continue to enjoy this spicy Vietnamese soup (# 8 - lean brisket)? I don't know, but it's tasty and comforting.
:: Democrat National Convention - This was my TV companion last week. Its exhausting to watch the whole thing. OK, I didn't - but I saw A LOT, and dwelt on the cult of personality in US politics. In Britain (it seems to me) we fall in behind our parties' philosophies and manifestos. We vote for the party. But here, apparently, we vote for the person, in this case Barack or Hillary. And, absent Hillary, its entirely possible for us to switch party and philosophy or not vote at all, because we don't like Barack. I know this isn't a prevalent trend but I was sufficiently aggravated that I threw things at the TV at times during the week. Separately, I promise to watch the Republican National Convention all this week so my viewpoint is informed, if not entirely balanced (most people know I'm a bleeding heart liberal.)
Am feeling pretty good today. Probably a good idea to get out and stretch my legs. Hopefully the Labor Day weather will oblige.

Seriously can't wait to watch the Republicans...what was McCain thinking?!!? It should be entertaining at the very least. I refuse to be frightened, we WILL overcome the nightmare of the last eight years...it's the ONE good thing that is going to happen in 2008.
Hats should be there tomorrow, Bex. Hope you're feeling good -- I loved my week off and am fairly sad about going in tomorrow and losing my slightly normal energy level and ability to drink more than three glasses of wine...oh well, no one said it was going to be fun to wage war on cancer.
Are you going to watch the Stand Up for Cancer show? I haven't decided yet. Not sure what Jennifer Aniston could say that would 1. be that funny or 2. relate to me having cancer in any meaningful way. But maybe I am just cranky....:-)
xo, melissa
