Difficult to say, if he's like Obama - well, he's black, he's a family man and (I think) that they were in Hawaii. Policy wise - can't tell. And of course, Blair Underwood in no way resembles Obama.

On the other hand, in the timing: post Obama and post Palmer.

Also post the black prez in Heroes and post Freeman in that asteroid movie. Black presidents not hard to come by onscreen.

The Event president is Latino! Can we make a big deal of that?

I know! That's what they seemed to be pointing at in the show.

Finally got some more vacation pictures posted, on Photobucket for now.

Really enjoyed reading about everyone’s approaches to explaining their food issues. I’m pescetarian I guess, but in practice vegetarian most of the time. Now that I’ve given up gluten though, I feel like I should maybe start eating meat again, as I don’t want to be that person who’s all “Yeah I can’t eat that, or that, or that”. That said, I really don’t mind when people say that to me; it just makes me cook more creatively, which is a good thing. I’m the default cook amongst my friends and I have a number of vegetarians, a lactose-intolerant person, and some just plain picky eaters (vegetarians who don’t eat vegetables, for instance) and I really don’t mind catering to people’s allergies, intolerances or just plain preferences, so I don’t know why I’m so freaked out at asking other people to do that for me.

I'm at work. What the hell?

Skipping sigh-once-more because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Sophia Brooks' birthday.

Happy birthday, Sophia! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Happy birthday, Sophia!

Welcome back to the grind, Tom.

Happy Birthday, Sophia!!
