90. The thing I missed most when I moved here is rain

and thunderstorms!!! Dark and stormy and windy thunderstorms. Oh we get one once in a while, but not like back East.

Yes, you guys have had quite the rain this year.

It's all screwed up.

CA will be very bad this year.

Buying Brand Obama

~snip~
Brand Obama offers us an image that appears radically individualistic and new. It inoculates us from seeing that the old engines of corporate power and the vast military-industrial complex continue to plunder the country. Corporations, which control our politics, no longer produce products that are essentially different, but brands that are different. Brand Obama does not threaten the core of the corporate state any more than did Brand George W. Bush. The Bush brand collapsed. We became immune to its studied folksiness. We saw through its artifice. This is a common deflation in the world of advertising. So we have been given a new Obama brand with an exciting and faintly erotic appeal. Benetton and Calvin Klein were the precursors to the Obama brand, using ads to associate themselves with risqué art and progressive politics. It gave their products an edge. But the goal, as with all brands, was to make passive consumers mistake a brand with an experience.

~snip~
Obama’s campaign won the vote of hundreds of marketers, agency heads and marketing-services vendors gathered at the Association of National Advertisers’ annual conference in October. The Obama campaign was named Advertising Age’s marketer of the year for 2008 and edged out runners-up Apple and Zappos.com. Take it from the professionals. Brand Obama is a marketer’s dream. President Obama does one thing and Brand Obama gets you to believe another. This is the essence of successful advertising. You buy or do what the advertiser wants because of how they can make you feel.

Celebrity culture has leeched into every aspect of our culture, including politics, to bequeath to us what Benjamin DeMott called “junk politics.” Junk politics does not demand justice or the reparation of rights. Junk politics personalizes and moralizes issues rather than clarifying them.

I'm going to be alone with the 7 cats, just like any woman 2 months away from her 40th birthday would want to be.

My weekend alone with the kid, the cats, and the lizard is coming up soon (internet-guru convention in Vegas). I can trust him (I think).

I 'dopted a two-year-old (who is now 12-1/2) for my 40th!

With us, the thoughts and prayers are essentially a very positive visualization (sending good vibes into the Universe, so it's o.k., I think).

81. I worry that the country just south of me, on the Temecula/San-Diego-County ..
border is going to go up, or maybe what's called the "Cleveland Forest" (it's the mountain chain between my sister and I; she's on the coast in San Clemente, Ca.).

Thanks! I'll know we'll all be o.k.

Good to see that all is well with you! :bounce: :hi: :hug: :toast:

I'm a self-professed plant slut, and I was in a special place today when I was gathering up plants for my Mom. Some of her favorites are plants that I've purchased for her or divided from my yard and shared with her.

Now, if someone would just share some special seeds with me. :rofl:
