Hannah, I thought of you

At the gym tonight I watched some C-SPAN, which was broadcasting (why?) a press conference with French President Nicolas Sarkozy. A very nice young female reporter asked him if he was going to marry his girlfriend, and when. He spent ten minutes -- I do not jest, TEN MINUTES - rambling on and on about the love lives of past French presidents and love in general and the media and his trip to Egypt and how if the media doesn't want to see pictures of him they shouldn't send photographers ... and never answered the question. It was the funniest thing I had seen in a long time. He's just so ... French.

Also, Rubbermaid storage bins make my little heart so happy. I bought a whole bunch tonight and I can't wait to go in and start organizing stuff.

That's hilarious.

When I graduated, some senator or something came and spoke at the ceremony. I honestly couldn't tell you afterwards what he said or what his point was. He had TOTALLY mastered the art of talking intelligently about absolutely nothing for as long as he needed to.

They sometimes have C-Span on at the FT. Lewis gym too. I never understood why. It's good for background noise, but certainly not for a gym environment. :-P

Hehe, it amuses me so much when politicians have such a hard time answering a simple question. In general I kinda like Sarkozy though.

Ah, I love Rubbermaid storage containers and organizing! I'm eager for my Friday just because I know that organizing + storage bins await :D

Oo, I must look that up. Jake and I heard part of his answer on the radio yesterday, and it was killing us.
