What You Biatches Missed!
I mean that affectionately of course! Friday included a line up of my favorite places. We started with Cafe Sevilla. The Food TV network was there filming. Mom, Matthew and I split tapas, while KC had a skewer of shrimp. The Dizzy's show was really enjoyable. We followed it up with MORE dessert.

Barry 'N Barbara: A Sign of the Apocalypse
If I was the kind of DB that watched American Idol, I would have noticed something disturbing last night, er... I mean whenever it happens to be on. Barbara Walters (Wawa) and Barry Manilow (Barely Man Enough) look like twins! He seems like a very sweet man and I feel a little bad mentioning this. Judge for yourself:
I can only guess that they have the same plastic surgeon.
This is just a randomly disturbing image of Barry for your amusement. I love that the image has the keyword "Chicagocrotch" (hurl):

Visions of Hummus Utilikilts Danced In Her Head
After late night studying comes late night snacking. Even though I'd baked chocolate chocolate chip muffins earlier, they didn't look appealing. Settled on pita bread and garlic hummus. I know this is going to give me nightmares. Garlic before bed sounds like an intuitively bad move.
If the hummus doesn't get me, the utilikilt site surely will. I've seen a couple guys wearing these around campus. I thought they were in a club, but this makes me unsure. It sounds like a man's lib movement. I don't know why anyone would elect to wear skirts if they didn't have to. Skirts are for big women who can't fit into pants and for skinny women who's thighs don't rub together. The rest of us only wear them to look good. This is probably my favorite pic. What's a bear with *no* pants or skirt gonna say to you?!

Fashion Arrest?
I don't get the big, fancy glasses that have been in this past year. I know they say it was for drugs, but I'm starting the rumor that George Michael was under fashion arrest:

Best Rummy Quotes
While writing a fictional missing chapter to Candide, where Candide meets up with Donald Rumsfeld in Iraq, I came across some great quotes from Rumsfeld. Some are actually insightful, while some are just plain funny (in a sick way :P). From BrainyQuote:
"Death has a tendency to encourage a depressing view of war."
"Control your time. If you're working off your in-box, you're working off the priorities of others. Be sure the staff is working on what you move to them from the President, or the President will be reacting, not leading."
"Don't be a bottleneck. If a matter is not a decision for the President or you, delegate it. Force responsibility down and out. Find problem areas, add structure and delegate. The pressure is to do the reverse. Resist it."
"Don't blame the boss. He has enough problems." (spoken like a true boss :-D)
"Don't necessarily avoid sharp edges. Occasionally they are necessary to leadership."
"Don't say "the White House wants." Buildings can't want."
This one's for Cooper:
"From where you sit, the White House may look as untidy as the inside of a stomach. As is said of the legislative process, sausage-making and policy-making shouldn't be seen close-up. Don't let that panic you. Things may be going better than they look from the inside."
"I don't do quagmires."
"I'm not into this detail stuff. I'm more concepty."
Keep your rules limited to the number of fingers you have:
"If you develop rules, never have more than ten."
"Oh my goodness gracious, what you can buy off the Internet in terms of overhead photography. A trained ape can know an awful lot of what is going on in this world, just by punching on his mouse, for a relatively modest cost. "
"People say, 'Well, where's the smoking gun?' Well, we don't want to see a smoking gun from a weapon of mass destruction. "
Kind of scared to see the Powerpoint that goes with this one (pruning people :O):
"Prune - prune businesses, products, activities, people. Do it annually."
Say this one three times fast:
"There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. "
Did Rummy work in academia?
"Watch for the "not invented here" syndrome."
Okay, maybe not because they all seem to be vacant this long:
"Watch the growth of middle level management. Don't automatically fill vacant jobs. Leave some positions unfilled for 6-8 months to see what happens. You will find you won't need to fill some of them."
"You will launch many projects, but have time to finish only a few. So think, plan, develop, launch and tap good people to be responsible. Give them authority and hold them accountable. Trying to do too much yourself creates a bottleneck. "
"Death has a tendency to encourage a depressing view of war."
