The men were not inspiring (except for Cooper)

OK some thoughts from the debate tonight – you can see more of my scattered live blogging thoughts in the comments on BlogHer but I’m going to hit the low points here. Because boy did the guys have some low points.

What in the hell was that with the “bad touch” thing from Edwards. That was not the question dude. And then Obama followed right along where Edwards led him, that’s inexperience and nervousness but not a good sign in a presidential candidate.

And then Edwards staring at Hillary’s chest and pointing out her clothing. Can you say sexist behavior from the man his wife would like you to believe is the best candidate for women?

BlogHer at the CNN/youtube debate

I just got a message from Morra and she’s in a cab on the way to The Citadel. Darn Charlotte airport will get you when you least expect it.

Morra is hoping to live blog the event via Twitter since she’s in the main hall and doesn’t think she can liveblog from there. Watch it and blog it, and then go post the links in the Blogher discussion.

Update 6:19pm – she made it but she can’t blog from there so look for her to check in after the event. Now get those fingers ready to live blog it for her. She’ll have some interesting things to say when it’s all over and she will love seeing your live blogging thoughts.

Another update 6:44pm – looks like maybe she will be live blogging after all. I hope so.

7:30 – she’s <a href=http://blogher.org/node/22790>blogging</a>!

Nickie’s Nook: Sharing the Journey

I’ve blogged about Nickie before – several times, actually. I first discovered her blog when writing a post for BlogHer about Guide Dogs. I’ve been reading her work ever since and learning something new with just about every single post that she makes.


When she announced she had written a “blook“, I bought it: Nickie’s Nook: Sharing the Journey. Not the digital download, I bought the real thing and I was thrilled when it arrived. I spent my spare time today reading it and while some of it reads like a “blook” most of it reads like a “book” – a real live, honest to goodness book. Many of the essays and entries in it, I’ve read before on her blog. But many of them were new to me – either published on her blog before I was reading it or published when I was swamped and just skimmed. Or maybe they didn’t come from her blog at all, I’m not sure. It doesn’t matter – what does matter is that once again, Nickie taught me stuff – and she got me thinking about things I probably would never have thought about. Nickie is very, very good at that.

Do I sound different on the phone?

So I was in this conference call with a bunch of people tonight and one of those people was sassymonkey. Can I just say she sounds different on the phone than she does in real life. Luckily she has that Canadian tone to her voice, and she was talking about stuff that I knew immediately only SHE would think to bring up. That is probably the only reason I knew it was her! Weird.

Do I sound different on the phone? TW does and I’m sure people call her at work just to hear her phone voice.
