Noticing that more and more people I hang out with do not own televisions.

Interesting dinner/discussion this evening with the FoP (Friends of Paul— mostly MIT alums). Specifically talking about the primaries, and that the Democrats lack someone who can appeal to the hearts and souls (not to mention minds) of this country. I believe that person has to take a strong position on issues, and not come across as a wuss, in order to get people interested. Bush certainly knows what he wants, he has a plan, even if it’s insidious, and that’s powerful. I’m not happy with what little I’ve seen from Kerry. It’s time for him to step up to the plate.

New media purchases today:
The New Basics Cookbook by Julee Rosso & Sheila Lukins. Excellent general cookbook, though sometimes a little advanced/obscure.
Vile Bodies by Evelyn Waugh. 1930s British high society satire.
Curious New England: The Unconventional Traveler’s Guide to Eccentric Destinations by Joseph A. Citro and Diane E. Foulds. Good research resource for BS.
Bodysong soundtrack by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead. He’s definitely working on the outside.
