Kenyan Pundit points to Vuma Kenya, an organization which seeks to bring attention to and work toward solutions for the current crisis. They're planning a benefit concert on February 2nd at the Roxy in Boston, so if you're in the area you may want to check it out.

Looks like the presidential race is down to two on each side; reports are that Giuliani and Edwards are both dropping out. I wonder if this will all be figured out by convention time. Speaking of which, I am NOT looking forward to having scads of Republicans crawling all over my town come September. Shall I protest? Shall I pretend it's not happening? Shall I scramble to see if anyone wants freelance coverage from someone who has an imperfect understanding of politics but lives within walking distance of the convention center? I can't decide.

Because I am neurotic (no sense trying to hide it) I am beginning to obsess over stupid things, like how shall I dress for book-related stuff? I am a person who dislikes "dressing up" in general, but I'm not sure that the jeans/t-shirt/hoodie look is how I should be presenting myself. Since everyone knows that all great fashion choices are made by committee, OBVIOUSLY this calls for a poll:

How can I be the only one to have voted for the American Flag diaper?

Jeans, t-shirt, blazer AND goggles! Steampunk goggles, if you can get them! Take it from me: capes are actually more effort than they're worth, what with slipping around and pulling on your neck and giving you armpit wedgies.
