Obama In La La Land

Obama’s in LA! I’m just getting home. The streets are closed all over the place and the bus took a major detour. In the 12 years that I have lived in LA, I have never seen traffic jam like this: it’s a parking lot out there. Good luck to my fellow Angelenos! On a positive note, in lieu of the detour, I took a 25-minute jog home. I feel good.

I have lots to accomplish this evening in preparation for my art show this weekend. I’m going to eat a little something and get going.

Top Ten List of Books

#7) Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins. This book opened my eyes and really changed my perspective on how I see the world. After reading it, I wanted to give it to everyone I knew. It’s a great summer read.

The piece here is titled “Her Dark Knight.” I choose this piece today in honor of Obama’s visit to LA. Last year, a photo in the LA Times, as the Obama’s were walking off of Air Force One, inspired the piece. It was Michelle’s yellow dress by Jason Wu that caught my attention.

Happy Monday!
