Contrary to my dream last night, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was not recently fired from her position for not disclosing that she was, indeed, a Hermaphrodite. One thing’s for certain: I really should stop listening to BBC World Service while I’m trying to fall asleep. The Aqua Teen Hunger Force episodes probably didn’t help either. I mean, really, when do they?
The weird dream prompted me to look up Condi on google news this morning. After attempting the key words “Condoleezza Rice Hermaphrodite,” which luckily found no results, I stumbled upon an article from ABC News about Condi’s former life as an aspiring pianist.
From ABC:
As a 17-year-old sophomore at the University of Denver, Rice was a music major with big dreams, who had started learning to play the piano from her grandmother at the age of three.
“I could read music before I could read. And I was absolutely certain that I was going to end up playing at Carnegie Hall,” Rice said onstage prior to her performance on Saturday.
Her first appearance at the Aspen Music Festival, however, quickly changed a young Condoleezza Rice’s mind.
“After listening to some of the 11- and 12-year-olds play, who could play from sight everything it had taken me all year to learn, I thought, ‘you know, you’re going to end up playing at Nordstrom or a piano bar, but not Carnegie Hall,’” she said.
Imagine the world that could have been. Actually, there’s probably no difference as Bush would have just appointed some other tool into a high position, but it does give me a giggle thinking of Condi hammering away at Nordstrom or some bullshit.

PLAY SOME SKYNNARD!!! WHOO!!!

Sorry boys, but Vans has a new line of women’s kicks that are designed by artists. This wearable artwork includes different styles from three artists - and more to come. The first shoe of the series was done by Keren Richter that launced on Sunday and it looks awesome! So cute!
It had a really big response and she is already working on a second design. Retail stores are expecting to be sold out by the end of the week. Keren will be touring Nordstrom stores with her shoes and doing signings of her work. Another artist, Kim Buzzelli, is going to be next to design a pair of Vans.
