I have to say I have a huge respect crush on Isabella Rossellini. I want to be her. I channel her when I'm nervous in social situations. This is one of her latest ventures. I love that she does whatever she feels like doing and isn't afraid to be bizarre.

In other news, this is an interesting op-ed in the New York Times today. I think it's true that women are discouraged from being seen to try too hard, and that the whole Hillary Clinton nutcracker thing represents fears of female power by men. Of course, it's hard to tease apart how much Hillary-hating is garden-variety misogyny and how much is dislike of some personality trait(s) of hers that would arouse a similar response if she were a man.

In still other news, I ran a 5K race tonight, and even though I had to stop and walk a couple times (the heat was bothering me), I still finished faster than my last 5K. w00t!
