Alicia went with Alisha to try to pick blueberries this morning. Unfortunately when they got there the farm was closed and it looks like every other farm is as well. Must be the drought. I have been bumming out on the couch this morning reading stuff online and watching the USA vs Australia Women’s Basketball gold medal game.

I have a couple observations about watching the best women in the world play basketball. First, Candice Parker is the only one who seems to transcend all the stereotypes of women’s basketball on a consistent basis. Second, the game is the US hip hop girls vs the Blondes in bodysuits and for some reason I can’t keep myself from rooting for the blondes even though they are getting beat pretty handily.

And Obama picks Biden as his running mate huh? How can anyone be excited about that? Sure he’s experienced and I’m sure a good guy, but I’m not at all excited about it. He’s an old white man who is a career politician and has shown more support for McCain in the past than he has Obama. In fact, I’ve been getting less and less excited about Obama for a while now. I know that in the primaries the candidates go to the extremes and in the general election they go to the middle… but at what point do we have to ask what Obama brings that McCain doesn’t? Is it really about just picking one party over the other? Not that I’ll be voting for McCain unless something big changes, if Obama loses my vote(and it’s his to lose) then I will likely vote 3rd party.

Ok, enough randomness… enjoy your weekend.
