Blind Ambition

I can't afford a break.  I was supposed to have written up an outline by now.  But I just finished my book on the Watergate scandal.  My eyesight has undoubtedly become worse just this weekend at no fault but my own.  I've had too much coffee that I actually feel light headed.  I won't be able to sleep at a decent hour anyways and I'm determined to celebrate Labor Day the way it is supposed to be celebrated.

It was just like watching Frost/Nixon.  I had no idea what was going on, but you root for Frost and you grow this resentment for Nixon.  He was pompous ass in that movie.  I rooted for John Dean obviously.  I'm used to reading chick-lits and giggling aloud, getting so caught up in the drama/romance I force myself to put the book down for some sort of break.  Well, I'm glad I can be an active reader and invest myself in genres other than chick-lits.  My heart was racing so hard, either from the coffee or the text.  Everything is so detailed.  I yelled at the prosecutors, and Ford for the pardon and everything else that went wrong.  How stupid could they be?!?!  Maybe I invested too much of myself in reading this.  Luckily for Mean John Dean, he was released after some months.  But man.. that Nixon.

The President is undeniably a devious bastard who'll ruin you any way he can. 


I must get back to some work.  I missed the FYF Fest yesterday and the LA Times Food and Wine Festival today.  I'll be damned if I miss a yacht party tomorrow.
