but first i have to go to class all week.

Dear diary,

This Friday, while the rest of the world enjoys drinks, socialization, and a sliver of a hope of getting laid, I will be getting paid to hang out on a cruise around the Bay, listening to Thom Hartmann talk shop. Who is Thomm Hartmann, you ask, dearest diary, because you have a life and I dont? Well, he was a radio personality who started on (the now defunct, to my occasional dismay) Air America back in 2003, filling in for Randi Rhodes (another magnificent woman you’ve never heard of) and Rachel Maddow (who you might have, thanks to her new fame on MSNBC). He was more level-headed and calm than some of the others on the station, and certainly less hotheaded than Randi (although, Randi will always be my girl), and a fundamental personality in my choice to be unapologetically leftist.

In short, I’m thrilled.

Also, A CRUISE OF THE BAY.

And then, when I’m done, I get to meet Jeff, Danea, and probably Michael. Color me stoked.
