Love the house. So glad it’s the one you liked the most. I’ll be sending good-house-karma your way.

Hope this doesn’t count as “real estate advice”: test all your electrical outlets: http://www.acmehowto.com/howto/homemaintenance/electrical/outlettest.php

Or you could have a small child you aren’t particularly fond of stick a paper clip in each outlet.

And confirm that each of the wall switches does something. We tested our outlets, but ended up with a “mystery switch.” We finally figured it out.

2. On Rachel Maddow’s comment. Personally, I think she is gorgeous because she can totally rock out that short hair of hers. But, I’m hesitant to judge people for not feeling pretty or feeling fat or whatever when they are clearly not. But, this probably comes from my own shit.

3. Since reading you, I’ve been more prone to call people out on their sexist bullshit. Example: One time Shannon and I were having a heated discussion related to politics and someone described it as a catfight. WTF?! No one would ever do that to men.

AV Flox – definitely. I’ll email you tonight.

I personally think Rachel Maddow is beautiful–and not in an “on the inside” or “intellectually” kind of way. I have no idea how to define beauty and I don’t try: like they say of obscenity, you know it when you see it, and it varies from person to person.

Question–could I get your notes on the online identity discussion? I’m writing a piece about “personal brands” right now and I think that would be an awesome addition or follow up. Thanks so much.
