Out of touch
Since I’ve been working pretty long hours lately, I completely missed the election (I even missed voting in the election). It didn’t surprise me that Obama won, but I just saw the news that Prop 8 in California passed – meaning there will be a constitutional amendment in the state banning gay marriage. I’m floored by this. I understand that people have very strong feelings on either side of this issue. Personally, I am now a-political. I just cannot be bothered (see the reference to the fact that I actually failed to vote). But I just never thought that that particular proposition could pass. Not here in California. It’s making me rethink my opinion of the composition of this state. Clearly not as liberal as I had thought.
On an unrelated note – well, somewhat related as it is somewhat linked to politics and being out of touch. What was going on with Michelle Obama’s dress last night? She appears to be a lovely woman, so I’ve got to wonder what was she thinking? I mean, it didn’t even look good on the catwalk. And pairing it with a cardigan? Hmm, interesting choice.
Here endeth the lesson on politics.

Where I’ve Been
I thought I was the only one who thought Michelle’s dress was hideous! Today at work, everyone was talking about the elections, but nobody mentioned the dress–I was not sure if I was the one with no fashion sense, or if it was just that no one wanted to spoil the historic moment! Hopefully, she once she is our First Lady, someone else will take charge of her wardrobe!
