huh?

What's is happening in France?!
Hm.
Well T's b-day was Saturday. We had some yummy Galerias and I went shopping for house stuff while he shopped with his parents. T got lots of new clothes that he can wear in his new job as a Civil Engineer I. hooray for new clothes, new job, and new life!

Slowly, my place is coming together. I now have curtains and a new sheet set and duvet. YAY! I just have to get rid of those damn boxes I was holding for my coworker that have turned soggy and gross and into an eyesore on my balcony that is bringing down the property value of the neighborhood. :(

Now all I need is internet - and possibly cable tv. One thing I missed by not having cable was all the new about Rosa Parks' death, which I feel horrible about not mentioning.

The day the news hit the papers I was returning to work at the conference downtown after my debilitating high fever. There was a general session going on and I insisted that someone mention her death from the podium. So I wrote up a little ditty to ease the process and then my CEO went up and said something in his own words, which was quite nice.
then.....
the white people started to sing We Shall Overcome. o.O

It was touching, but odd. I'll just leave it at that. touching. odd. good though. and eerie.

the moment of silence transformed into a smooth-sounding, muted choral rendition of an old negro spiritual

touchodding.
