  What a rousing speech! I havent been this inspired in my life. True, I had my mind made up before the DNC took place. But that was fantastico! Viva, Kerry!! Ive begun work on my revision paper for Formos class.
Seems no one in the course spoke to her sexuality in any of their papers! Uh, ok. Ill take it on. I always balk at the idea of writing about something so obviously of interest to me. I feel like a broken record writing from a lesbian or feminist lens. Its too expected from me, you know? The big news of the day  I got the job at Sur La Table.
I start on Tuesday morning!! Im so thrilled. To prepare, Ive done a little bit in the kitchen tonight to remind myself of my culinary know-how and to bone up on some new sauce techniques. Ive got a mirepoix on the stove, about to be strained and infused with a roux to augment the deglaze that will come from the chicken Im baking. The next question has to be do I warn Claudia that I work there now? I dont think shell come in with that knowledge.
But is it too much to contact her in a letter? Is it worth it? Or even more conflicting, do I /not/ tell her in hope that she comes in? She lives right down the street from it. Its inevitability.
