Tong Thursday

Here is a summary of my day:
1) Getting pissed off at a know-it-all who knows f-all (KIAWKFA).
2) Obsessing about how annoying KIAWKFA is.
3) Trying to prove that KIAWKFA is "misinformed" by doing a literature search of the latest research...
4) Finding the evidence I need to prove KIAWKFA wrong.
4) Debating whether or not I should present the KIAWKFA with my evidence that he indeed knows f-all.
5) Deciding to go to a yoga class instead.
6) Going to yoga.
7) Practising with my alternative concept-artist band.
8) Eating really good chili prepared by Manny Blue.
9) Watching the French debates.

Conclusion: yoga, chili and concept art is the way to go. Here is my concept artist hero at the moment - Michael Swaine. For inspiration, watch him in a video here.

The importance of being (fashionably) earnest

Audrey, ESI Cultural Affairs Officer, is nothing if not a trendspotter. And what better place to detect the latest fashionista wave than Italia?

It appears Sarah Palin may be on to something. Audrey has noticed the look di giorno among the women of Firenze is "austere serious." Simple. Understated. Muted. Dark colours. Perhaps with hair pulled back.

In short, nothing too flashy. Kind of like the Alaskan governess. As the Washington Post's Robin Givhan recently noted about Palin, "Her clothes are unpretentious, but they are also unremarkable. ... Everyone knows someone who dresses like her, which is partly why so many folks seem to think that they know her."

Breaking News: ESIs Headed For Majority

It's All for Your Future Pleasure, So VOTE!

At a recent gathering which included a few men and women in their forties, the consensus was that they preferred the natural look on a woman's coochie. I have not had the opportunity to ask the younger generation what they prefer, but of course I am curious.

Men and women of all ages, this is your chance to let the ESIs know if you prefer the Garfunkel, the Mr T, or the Larry look on a woman's revered mons veneris.

What is your preference?
	The Garfunkel
	The Larry
	The Mr T
