- NPR:Books Podcast. I loved the interview with Madeline Albright about her pins, and think she used them well as a diplomatic tool. There is a lot of wisdom in putting a point of view in a very obvious place where it can be noted and used to set a tone.
Between Things:
- Started catching up on Season 2 of Fringe. Who else was annoyed when they didn't check Charlie's palate from the get-go?
- HIMYM, "The Possimpible". I'm going to start channeling my visio-tivity right now.
Evening:
- Went to see Whip It, and was pleasantly entertained. Fun, cute, and rewatchable. Drew did a good job, and it was fun to see her give herself such a ridiculous rough and tumble character.
Late Night:
- TAR - and how was it possible only 2 of those teams recognized Jackie O?? Pathetic. I was very disappointed with the outcome this week, and don't really care who wins now. The dad & son, I guess. Or the Globetrotters. The rest of them are all grating.
Nightstand:
- Rereading Cat's Cradle, by Kurt Vonnegut. It was my second nomination for book club - originally, I had said we would read Woman on the Edge of Time because I remember reading it for a fem. stud. class back in college and that it provoked interesting discussions. What I had forgotten is that it is stilted and unreadable, so I retracted it and suggested Cat's Cradle instead, because given the option? I would probably be a Bokononist myself.
