Stream of consciousness blogging today, I'm afraid.

I'm wonking at home. I tried watching CNN's convention coverage but they were driving me mad (Mad! Mad, I tell you!) by obsessing over the stage set for tonight's speech, so I turned to CSPAN. It was the news anchor in the studio - she has some kind of weird fixation on the columns. (Everyone online noticed the similarity to the previous stage set used for Bush and decided that the WEP didn't own the concept of columns, then moved on.)

Now I'm watching CSPAN. They've having a panel of wonks (that's my word for today), the Obama campaign's foreign policy & defense advisors, talking good sense about foreign relations. (So surprising--I agree with Democrats!)

They're pretty funny, even if no one is laughing.

I'm eating yakisoba. A grocery store experiment I picked up last night - shake in the veggie packet, add water, and nuke for four minutes. It's amazingly entertaining. All wriggly noodles.

And, yes, I'm working. Really. I've gotten as much done already this morning as it would have taken me four hours to do in the office.

But I just noticed a cable truck outside. If he breaks my internet access, I'm going to have to pull myself together, put on some make-up (so I don't look SIXTY), and dash to the office in time for my 2:00 webinar.

Okay, not that much of a dash.

Yakisoba! So fun!

Ooooh! Grouchy commenter! Apparently I took a "Kill! Kill! Kill!" position without being aware of it. Politics. So tricky.

Later.... I flipped back into CNN and they're actually talking about how much time they spend talking about the Right! I came in a few seconds too later to hear whether or not they're acknowledging that they're spending too much time on McCain, but at least they're aware of the question.

OHMIGOD! Five. Seconds. Later. They're talking about the damned columns again!
