columbus day: celebrating smallpox and slavery
and packing for the philippines.
if there's one perk about living and working in dc, it's that the federal govt hates to work. that means, any semblance of a holiday is a day off. enter christopher columbus, who gets the bejesus protested out of in ann arbor, but earns a day of sabbath in the nation's capital.
meanwhile, if ya'll didn't know, i'm heading overseas for 12ish days. i don't know if i'll be able to blog a lot, but i will pop in with updates here and there. it's going to be a lot of family quality time, and i think it's also monsoon season, so there's something to look forward to.
one big reason for the trip is for my grandmother's 85th bday party. per chinese tradition, i have to wear red. i found the most beautiful perfect dress in georgetown, but true to form, it was $850. dejected, i settled for a cheaper frock.
i also bought shoes, but am undecided of which of these two to wear. they are both red patent leather. considering the dress, any suggestions?
