Springocalypse

Ok, enough of this weather. Really. Please?

I'd, for once, like to leave for work in the morning with one jacket or coat that will suffice for both the beginning AND end of the work day. This morning was sunny, warm and promising, and I left my offce around 6:45 for cold, cold rain.

Bogus.

 

Nothing a little Indian food can't fix... 


Curious

I overheard the line "Someone should give jazz back to New Orleans" on the T today. While I have no interest in jazz to a large extent, I can't seem to get that predicate out of my head.

Winters in Boston are cold and sobering, and come late February there is no drink on the bar shelves to warm me up enough. Still, I'm happy that the witch hazel has started to grow at the Arnold Arboretum.

But I'm looking forward to an escape. I'm thinking about going to Montreal this weekend, but otherwise, Boston...you have been good to me.

Anti Climax

Rooooll call!Rooooll call!So, the roll call vote feels more like a game show than a democratic process. It basically goes like this:

Secretary Alice Germond (the host in our little metaphor), says the name of the state, and the giant screen behind her sports the state's name, and how many votes it's been afforded.

"State," says Germond.


Night Two of Pageantry

By CaraBayles on Wed, Aug 27, 2008 2:48 pm

On Monday night, your trusty Dig reporter was relegated to the press gallery, and spent an hour and a half trying to find the damn booth for rotating floor credentials, being sent up and down the stairs, getting a different answer from every DNCC staffer. It made my thighs slightly stronger and the ball of rage in my stomach significantly heavier. It made me wonder how the Dems would run a country, when they can't credential a reporter. But last night I found the magic booth and got onto the floor, so all is forgiven.
