Gustav and Palin

So the two main things discussed in our household,
and mostly because the TV news is on
all the time are
Hurricane Gustav and
VP nomination of Palin.

I'll start with her as she is the lesser of two evils.
I really like her story,
her being a woman in power.
But her nomination is calculated,
and would never have happened had it not been for Hillary Clinton.
I don't believe she is the best qualified candidate.
She has no foreign policy experience,
as Obama's campaign has already noted.
Unless removing caribou from your car is
key qualification in VP candidate,
I just don't see her as it.

Now....Gustav.
Oh my poor New Orleans.
I'm worried.
Cuba, specifically Havana is screwed.
We'll see the damage soon.
Glad I'm not in the Grand Cayman Islands,
where I would have been had I chosen to go to med school.
And I can't believe I escaped Tulane
just in time for round two.

Fingers crossed it hits Texas!
Not that it will help much.
Also...side note I've been thinking about,

How will Gustav affect the upcoming election?

Michelle Obama

Her speech was amazing.

I think she should run for president!
Talk about a killer pair.
I would be so proud to have her
represent the US in an international market.
And the little girls at the end are adorable.

I am very impressed and can't wait to hear Obama speak.

Vicky Cristina Barcelona

Saw Vicky Cristina Barcelona last night
and it was fantastic.
I really enjoyed it.
It was a real spice of life kind of film,
but it made me question and think about things.
Particularly the nature of relationships,
which I've been thinking about anyway.

Question...if anyone actually reads this blog...
Can we love two people at the same time?
or rather...are the traditions we impose on love worth it? It's questioned in the movie and there is certainly no right answer, but interesting to ponder upon. Maybe if I'm feeling brave I'll share my own views on this.

There were some other great thoughts on love in the movie.
-Love is transient
-We are meant for each other and not meant for each other.
-Only unfulfilled love can be romantic.

Also...Javier Bardem...wow...
hot hot hot...and the very Spanish character
reminded me way too much of my dad.

Hot artist from across the room


VERY close up...it hard finding pics of him.


And Scarlett Johanson and Penelope Cruz weren't unhot either!

I'm a Work in Progress.

Oooh it's been a long summer.
I wish I could say I haven't updated because I'm too busy working,
but alas, this is not the case.
I am unemployed,
not in med school,
and utterly miserable.

I was accepted into a med school in the Grand Cayman,
and decided that I had a bad feeling about it.
Now I'm home,
unemployed,
not in med school,
and utterly miserable.

Well I'm not utterly miserable.
I have a great family....clingy, but great.
And I'm starting to loosen up.
The things in my head are clearer.
I haven't been stress free in a long while.
It is taking some getting used to.
Though I think it is doing a world of good for me.

I'm dating, meeting new people,
and may actually be ready for a serious relationship.
I'm working on getting hired as a teacher.
Well I must get back to bumming around.
Tata!
