Even having been an AP History student in high school—books like this leave me feeling gypped. Only in my adult life have I discovered how incredibly interesting history is, especially American history. The current re-writing of my favorite founding father by the conservative right is a particular pet peeve of mine. In reading a book like this, you realize why they're rushing around trying to change how people remember the man like Jefferson.<div><br /></div><div>2. <i>FDR</i> - Jean Edward Smith - This is <i>the</i> FDR biography and I've been meaning to read it forever. Now I have no excuse.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. <i>Traitor to His Class: The Privileged Life and Radical Presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt</i> - HW Brands - I'm very excited for this one. Another FDR tome, I'm kind of forcing myself to read FDR first and then this. I am absolutely fascinated by Roosevelt's concern for the middle and lower classes over his own—and have long been a fan of the theory that his experiences in Warm Springs with both people with disabilities and people living in poverty effected his approach to issues of class and financial equality during his presidency.</div><div><br /></div><div>4. <i>The Making of Fantastic Mr. Fox</i> - Wes Anderson - Too many things I like together in book form for this to be anything but, well, fantastic.</div><div><br /></div><div>5. <i>Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People </i>- Amy Sedaris - Can I be adopted into the Sedaris family, please?</div>karahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07098566658042614050noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895482614772264854.post-29789937225817742032011-01-02T19:33:00.010-05:002011-01-02T20:36:40.113-05:00merry merry. happy happy.Dollar Store Secret Santa has been going on since college and now the group is larger and each year stockings more and more ridiculous.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirkz7rQZClK9jelmaq9KKClljwuc7z0sos81pUlRH2Xlk2RpoIoZGEWbs6xOJ8kZig31E0Q4y8jH7Uvo1doraJKkr54nhT-gH-awm1KJ57kxYNrPFTMCcpnNS7cdzt8dTyR-bNyUS1ZME/s1600/IMG_0595.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirkz7rQZClK9jelmaq9KKClljwuc7z0sos81pUlRH2Xlk2RpoIoZGEWbs6xOJ8kZig31E0Q4y8jH7Uvo1doraJKkr54nhT-gH-awm1KJ57kxYNrPFTMCcpnNS7cdzt8dTyR-bNyUS1ZME/s400/IMG_0595.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557756370953965090" /></a><br /><br />The rules are simple:<br /><br />- When picking names you can't get yourself or your significant other<br />- Items in the stocking have to be under a dollar<br /><br />This year, I got Matt D and he got me.

Sometimes it felt like it was flying by and others where it was positively dragging itself as though it's legs were broken. But when I look back at pictures, it's only the flying bits—which I am incredibly grateful for. I'm fortunate, in many ways.

First high school reunion, first trip to Denver (and first professional-type convention). I had my first try-out for roller derby and thusly my first knee injury (meniscus tear). Still, I got my first derby name (Frankie Dee Bruisevelt)—and my first time out as a non-skating official.

Holidays, birthdays, sunny days in San Diego in the middle of July. For the third year, Comic Con week was the thing I looked forward to the most and was not disappointed—a week in my favorite city with my favorite people surrounded by our favorite things.

It was a year of first there too for the smaller one. Clark had his first therapy visit, his first agility trial and a bunch of first place ribbons. And Maggie's had her best year yet. Coming from a neglectful home, learning to be a dog and relax and play has been a process. But this year she's come out of her shell. It's nice to be able to take her more places. I think she enjoys it too.</div><div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs6yLK1qQmnoG_a4W1WIxHJjFhaFCL3LTRuITCPPP74MA7MdWKdg80k5yVp-my4Za6GLtOecxQN1eRmt-amN8eDwMCZUT60G4oDznhgCGIia-s1_uGDELHlJIdIzPsDJcGxqF2QWFkl64/s1600/6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs6yLK1qQmnoG_a4W1WIxHJjFhaFCL3LTRuITCPPP74MA7MdWKdg80k5yVp-my4Za6GLtOecxQN1eRmt-amN8eDwMCZUT60G4oDznhgCGIia-s1_uGDELHlJIdIzPsDJcGxqF2QWFkl64/s400/6.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556943805519069346" /></a><br /><br /></div><div>Happy, happy, near year and here's to a lovely 2011. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>karahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07098566658042614050noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895482614772264854.post-69374623473841969162010-12-30T21:40:00.006-05:002010-12-30T21:48:08.582-05:00you've got a bit of a panda vibe going on.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih4hyphenhyphenz9vl2BIbWqzu0ECdoEvSeC6WL9lPP-zP-_8VubOcrgGqAY8277S25V1ZL6yONguaVvvw5ux2sSm7CLLfJIN5NU849bpY-aZ_7D1Qk4IxyxsjY-znHyhyphenhyphen9bTH45lRVzFNoHuDQ6Eo/s1600/b00x53nz_640_360.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEih4hyphenhyphenz9vl2BIbWqzu0ECdoEvSeC6WL9lPP-zP-_8VubOcrgGqAY8277S25V1ZL6yONguaVvvw5ux2sSm7CLLfJIN5NU849bpY-aZ_7D1Qk4IxyxsjY-znHyhyphenhyphen9bTH45lRVzFNoHuDQ6Eo/s400/b00x53nz_640_360.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556670980738904386" /></a><br /><div>Along with the Whovian episode and the Jedward disaster fest, this ensemble (with Cee Lo Green) has entered my top three episodes of Never Mind The Buzzcocks.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"Pandas are absolute wankers."</i></div>karahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07098566658042614050noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895482614772264854.post-30616775717974478342010-12-29T23:15:00.005-05:002010-12-29T23:21:18.868-05:00i said hey! what's going on?One of my favorite pre-holiday events?<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG_9M-aRMSJ3ha2fcyMh37xDg3SjzlZpF5y0gmALcLkXpx_0Qz8Aq9Hmgp6OZiQBbRVfJIBhN2d5plAokorZZkQ1tSJ9_FuS5LO4WIrZ_tm_KFR3vtsNV4FjZDsn1BZ6ORAaylVXtItvE/s1600/valdinner.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 395px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhG_9M-aRMSJ3ha2fcyMh37xDg3SjzlZpF5y0gmALcLkXpx_0Qz8Aq9Hmgp6OZiQBbRVfJIBhN2d5plAokorZZkQ1tSJ9_FuS5LO4WIrZ_tm_KFR3vtsNV4FjZDsn1BZ6ORAaylVXtItvE/s400/valdinner.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5556324805206722450" /></a><br /><br />The annual Val visit and the dinner that we celebrated it with.<br /><br />Where else can you sample shepherd's pie, mac and cheese and/or taco boats, find out that Anna's bed only holds five adults and get a 4 Non Blondes song stuck in your head forever?karahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07098566658042614050noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895482614772264854.post-50291415667056518762010-12-24T09:59:00.002-05:002010-12-24T10:12:06.952-05:00merry merry.If you celebrate this holiday religiously or just for warmth and joy of being with your loved ones—Merry Christmas.<br /><br />Here's a little holiday mix I put together:<br /><br />1. Winter Wonderland | Phantom Planet - for obvious reasons.<br /><br />2. Oi To The World | No Doubt - Who doesn't like a punk vs. skins holiday carol? One of the most fun holiday songs, ever.<br /><br />3. Fairytale Of New York | Pogues & Kristy MacColl - Shane MacGowan, 'nuff said.<br /><br />4. Somewhere In My Memory | John Williams - Home Alone 2 is one of my favorite Christmas movies (after Santa Claus: The Movie of course) and in a recent discussion about which was better, the first Home Alone or the second... bird lady trumps shovel man.<br /><br />5. Carol of the Bells | Phantom Planet - Again, obvs.<br /><br />6. White Wine In The Sun | Tim Minchin - Now one of my all time favorite Christmas songs. So incredibly witty and beautiful and I usually tear up at the end. <br /><br />7. Sleigh Ride | John Williams with The Boston Pops- Coming from a New Englander family—the Boston Pops have been a staple throughout my childhood memories of Christmas. This was always my favorite song as a kid because they make the whip sound and someone makes a trombone whinny like a horse at the end. <br /><br />8. Happy Xmas War is Over | Neil Diamond - They didn't have the John Lennon one on grooveshark and the fact that Neil Diamond covered this made me laugh. Oh, Neil. <br /><br /><object width="250" height="400"><br /><param name="movie" value="http://listen.grooveshark.com/widget.swf" /><br /><param name="wmode" value="window" /><br /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><br /><param name="flashvars" value="hostname=cowbell.grooveshark.com&playlistID=41225732&style=metal&p=0" /><br /><embed src="http://listen.grooveshark.com/widget.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="250" height="400"<br />flashvars="hostname=cowbell.grooveshark.com&playlistID=41225732&style=metal&p=0" allowScriptAccess="always" wmode="window" /><br /></object>karahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07098566658042614050noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895482614772264854.post-40890203544416616002010-12-12T21:38:00.005-05:002010-12-12T22:09:14.431-05:00skip to the end.<div style="text-align: left;">After a full day of shopping with Anna and Jess, I came home to chill out and ended up listening to a <a href="http://smodcast.com/smoviemakers/">Kevin Smith Smodcast—SMoviemakers</a> with Edgar Wright.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKDG0A-ZeJxB9NnKJAazMz5FD-4zKL4fmi-SpOluvy_t_6MR6WHUbE2ZNY0Ci7H43Gsyz287lAfYMFoW42h54tA9wcxCzd2PWtglTGzA1l9tNAlYzUyPWwcn4E_oy386FOj554A_xcpLg/s400/spaced.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5549992707153360898" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 277px; " /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div>And now I'm going to end up starting an epic rewatch of Spaced, because it's simply been too long and hearing Edgar talk about the process working up to that...

People who I greatly admire who can still surprise me with their selfless actions. But one of them is Bernie Sanders, who I would get all giddy about when he stopped by on Olbermann or Rachel Maddow. One of two Independents in the Senate, Senator Sanders is a Democratic Socialist—sharing my values about things like single payer healthcare, income equality, accessible and quality education (and I could go on and on). He makes me wish I lived in Vermont.<div><br /></div><div>Today, the honorable Senator Sanders took to the floor of the Senate at 10:25am and eviscerated the proposed tax bill in what ended up being an 8.5 hour filibuster. He pointed out the ridiculous nature of giving tax cuts to the richest of the rich while the middle class in this country gets pushed further and further towards the poverty line. I tuned in on my C-SPAN radio app (YES, I HAVE A CSPAN APP—DEAL WITH IT) at the start and listened all the way through.</div><div><br /></div><div>All the way through. Sitting at my desk, working and listening. Going home for lunch and listening. Getting home from work and watching on TV. Bernie was supporting me by speaking and I was going to support him by paying attention. Within 30 minutes of being home, I had sent emails to both of my own Senators—because in the end, that is what this about. Participating in your government.</div><div><br /></div><div>This is where I really wish more people my age were like the young people in the UK. There should be rallies in the streets over this and so many other injustices that get passed because nobody cares, nobody bothers to understand. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thank goodness for people like Senator Sanders. At 28, I couldn't imagine talking for 8.5 hours and he did so passionately at the age of 69.</div><div><br /></div><div>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/10/bernie-sanders-filibuster_n_795087.html</div>karahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07098566658042614050noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895482614772264854.post-44500150754168224712010-12-09T22:15:00.003-05:002010-12-09T22:18:50.851-05:00whose streets? our streets.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHuFwXGQIytqSWN7JFDH6ZjsDHh6hKW7jNqTtKZO4YLSF-yYRjOpaqHh4qE2EEtFVjjw2fvVYi-glb0OiewAcHTlgNwQn10a5eVdjPKNseE_pW1V9UXJlwEblAUABUw9-HyIPWL-dPA5s/s1600/Increase-in-tuition-fees-008jpg.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHuFwXGQIytqSWN7JFDH6ZjsDHh6hKW7jNqTtKZO4YLSF-yYRjOpaqHh4qE2EEtFVjjw2fvVYi-glb0OiewAcHTlgNwQn10a5eVdjPKNseE_pW1V9UXJlwEblAUABUw9-HyIPWL-dPA5s/s400/Increase-in-tuition-fees-008jpg.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548887152676842162" /></a><br /><br />It annoys and disappoints me to no end that this kind of protest doesn't happen here.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect (aside from German food and plenty of beer). Needless to say, we had a blast. It wasn't just German food, but amazing German food—and plenty of beer under this giant tent at Camp Eastman. The music just kept going. Austrian singers, bands with those giant alp horns and this old man who yodeled. That has to be a dying art, right?<br /><br />Then there was this guy who played accordion. He'd do traditional pieces, but then he'd also play to karaoke tracks of party songs? At least, I think that's what was happening. The thing was that he didn't know the words. So he'd kind of come in at the chorus and then fade out for the rest of the song. It was hilarious. <br /><br />But not as hilarious as the chicken dance—at least at our table.<br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/owSl2xTnWcM?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/owSl2xTnWcM?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />Matt D's interpretation of the Chicken Dance = pure awesome.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">"Matt learned the chicken dance from the Bluth family." - Matt A</span><br /><br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4T_2mUbne38?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4T_2mUbne38?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>karahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07098566658042614050noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3895482614772264854.post-87058759853936873782010-09-26T10:01:00.002-04:002010-09-26T10:16:11.106-04:00one song a day: song twenty-nine| favorite song at this time last yearThis is where my memory fails.
