Oh, my god, so tired. I am so busy right now that getting anything done is needlessly complicated.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

Skip Gates on Fresh Air from last week (?), and he's talking about race in latin america, and said he went around the Dominican Republic asking people if they were black, and they all said no, and when he asked where the black people were, they all said Haiti.
funny and fascinating both!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Apparently everyone in the DR, regardless of what they looked like, described themselves as Indio.
Anyway, Africans in Latin America is his big new project, so look out for it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Interesting. Reminds me of how Moldovans refer to Roma (Tsigani) as black, even though Moldovans can tend to the swarthy themselves. Oh, the persistantness of "other" and the fascinating dynamics of self-definition.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I've got my booth at the antique mall up and running this week, which is exciting
I am excited for you!
And for quester's job!
I bought three cupcakes today: Salted Caramel for Teacher Vicky; Salted Caramel for JZ; and Red Velvet for Matilda.
Both Teacher Vicky and JZ have independently described the Salted Caramel Cupcake from CupKates as being the very best they ever had.
Tomorrow is Matilda's last day of pre-school. Then we've got a week off together (Japantown! The Zoo! Avatar Marathon!) and she starts Kindergarten.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I am very, very fond of the chocolate cupcake at Teacake Bake Shop. My boss raved about the CupKates vanilla cupcake.

Dropped CJ off at his party, picked up my CSA veggies (beats, yum), hit the grocery for cupcake stuff, and then K-Bug conned me into sushi dinner.
She also started the cupcakes, first batch is in the oven and apparently I'm in charge of the second batch.
