so, now, my chicken soups...

I've just returned from D's -- land of 1000 beers! Tonight I had Bell's Kalamazoo Stout, Magic Hat Circus Boy, Troeg's Oatmeal Stout. It was a wintery stout-y kind of day, I guess.


We talked a bit about Barack Obama -- I had just watched this video announcement of his presidential exploratory committe, and I was learning a bit more about him. He's had a pretty interesting life, born in Hawaii, lived in Jakarta as a child, had a Kenyan father and Kansan mother. He went to college in California and NYC, then Harvard Law School. His wife grew up in Chicago, where he's lived the last ten years. That's a lot of places -- seems like a lot of different perspectives in one person. Reading more about him made me more interested in reading his books, especially if he turns out to be one of the 2008 frontrunners.

Speaking of politics, I heard at D's that Colbert was on O'Reilly's show and O'Reilly was on Colbert's show -- sorry I missed that! Sounds like fun. I'm sure it'll be up soon online...

And, another good thing online: Making Fiends -- a flash comic that reminds me at times of South Park (with it's elementary school setting) Homestar Runner (for shear sillyness, though Making Fiends is not quite as quotable) and the PowerPuff Girls (Charlotte = Bubbles?). Here's a favorite episode of mine. Found on Ms. Peppered Jane's website.

Also, Obama has a podcast and has officially stolen my little-girl heart. :)
