history made

it finally happened :). now maybe my political fatigue will ebb away.

obama '08.

si se puede!

SATC?

i think NOT! i saw the good negro instead, and i'll let you know that my ten dollars were much better spent.

i am a little drunk, so i won't say much now, but you should check out tracey scott wilson. and when the good negro is produced again (though, admittedly, tickets probably won't be 10 dollars then) you should see it. and you should hope the talent is as amazing as it was today (two words- anthony mackie). if it's not, though, that's okay because the writing was just amazing. A-MA-ZING. 2 hours and 45 minutes and i would have stayed for another hour if she would have answered my questions. straight up.

a quickie

i have to have children so i can read ta-nehisi coates' the beautiful struggle to them as a bedtime story.

tnc is kind of amazing. i saw him read at mcnally robinson in soho tonight. tears flow to my eyes easily, especially in the presence of beautiful words, and the author's eloquence moved me tonight as only beautiful prose can.

get a copy.

playwright

my friend jlp is a playwright. a playwright! i saw two actors perform a one-act by her, "laundry night," tonight at the hb playwrights foundation.

the show was great, and i am SO PROUD. my beautiful friend. i'm like a proud mama. :)

omg

obama's really on the daily show tonight! crazy. the day before the primary? spending his time with john stewart?

oh and edwards wasn't bad on colbert...though he's ridiculously attractive face kind of gets old as you watch him stumble over words he hasn't rehearsed quite well enough. the 1,000,000th mention balloons are pretty awesome.

i want to be her when i grow up
