My Occasionally Awesome Life
Today:
1. I worked at the ABC Advertising Awards conference. I spent the entire day talking sewing, sex, art, aesthetics and personal history with two hilariously endearing older gents, one of whom was a half-Japanese fine art photographer who walked me through the current political situation in Afghanistan as well as spent a half hour comparing the cultural aesthetics of Japan and America. The other was a 50-something, mild-mannered, wickedly funny gay man who has spent the last 10 years making couture clothes for dolls.
2. I, along with the rest of the gaggle of temps, snuck off in groups to watch portions of the keynote address. The keynote address was given by Bill Clinton. Yes folks, today I saw Bill Clinton speak. He was brilliant. I am now excited about his abilities, intelligence, humor and charisma in ways I was far too young to appreciate when he was in office.
3. I had a simply divine dinner from the 23rd Street location of Burgers & Cupcakes, which is superior to the 9th Avenue location in many ways, and has strawberry shortcake cupcakes that short circuit my brain.
4. I received my federal tax refund in the mail, to the tune of several hundred dollars.
And Bear comes tomorrow!
