Say "Cheesy!"

Busy, busy, blah blah blah. Where does the time go? Three weeks into my study-free summer and so far, I've had a weeklong visit from an out-of-town friend with whom I saw President Gore's fascinating and frightening film, which was discussed today with some co-workers, one of whom thinks a Clinton/Gore ticket is a good bet for the Dems in 2008. Seriously. He even came up with a slogan: "Clinton/Gore, it worked before!" I think it's rather catchy.

Earlier this month, we had a professional photographer in our office taking headshots for a long-overdue overhaul of our organization's website. We were all encouraged to don "professional attire," in spite of the fact that we all typically show up for work in what anyone with eyes would have no difficulty referring to as "non-professional attire."

Nevertheless, here's how excited I was to have my photo snapped:

Notice the subtle rolling of the eyes. The guy took about a gazillion photos of each of us, but this was by far the most delightfully silly one of me. The best part was sifting through the myriad shots of me engaging in various stages of eye-rolling, from "Are we almost done?" to "Get that fucking flashbulb out of my face if you want to keep your balls intact." My only hope is that one will someday appear on the inside of a book jacket.

I am certain there are far worse things in life than being forced to sit for pictures. I'm just fortunate not to have encountered any yet.
