And today, in the news:

a journalist tries to explain why I am so in love with Obama (for the record, i agree with her)

I am officially on the hunt for a man so that I continue to be a healthy, rounded person. Rather than one with delusions of grandeur and daydream about how hot the leader of the free world is.

May as well put it out there - my goal is, one day, to go on Air Force One. It doesn't have to fly, or nothin', but i would like a coffee. That would be great. Trim latte, thanksverymuch.

On the news last night, Rodney Hide wore a pink shirt. With red around the inside collar. His face was red. The part of his (waxed, clearly) chest we could see was red. His head was shiny. He was saying something about how local councils shouldn't go into partnership with KiwiBank (they are looking at having branches at Councils so they can get banks back into the smaller communities). All I could think was, man, it wasn't a good idea to put on that shirt. Didn't help that he looked very much like he was on holiday rather than working hard as a Cabinet Minister.
