Bill Lee was honored this week and I was reminded of one of my favorite songs from his son, Spike Lee's film, Mo Better Blues. Such a talent. Enjoy!

Celebrity Sightings
- Christina Applegate and Chole Sevigny
at the BWE 100th episode party. They are both so blonde. That color blonde that does not exist in real life but only with chemical enhancement. They're beautiful though. - Melba Moore
in the airport in Nairobi, Kenya! We smiled at each other over Nescafe (aka coffee). - Parker Posey
at Murray's Bagels. She looked really punk rock. - Jessica Lange and Sam Shephard
at A History of Violence at Cinema Village. They were so cute and followed us everywhere from the movies to Cedar Tavern and back to the movies. They probably thought we were following them. - Nicole Ari Parker and Boris Kodjoe
pushing their baby down 13th Street. I was having a meeting at Cosi around the corner from my overcrowded office. I looked out the window and there they were. They stopped in front of my window and were doing the, who should take the baby conversation. I was trying to listen to the person talking to me but I could not and she was not the type of person who would understand my distraction by these celebs. They are both really attractive but almost too much so. His sneakers were new. His jeans were new. It was weird. I like imperfection. - Joshua Redman
running on 18th Street. I realized that I've seen him many times before and just did not realize it. He was smaller than I thought he's be but I guess most people are. - Patti Smith
which was not a big deal to me but my friend Marina apparently sees her all the time. This was her fourth sighting. I said she should say something like, "I see you everywhere. We should hang out." Marina wouldn't take the bait. - Leonardo DiCaprio
with Isha on our way to the PATH station on 9th Street and 6th Ave. He is very tall but as my friend says, one cheeseburger away from being fat. His bodyguard "subtely" was wearing a jogging suit next to him. I guess they exercise together. He wasn't so hot to me but another girl flipped out when she saw him so what do I know. - Sam Rockwell and Liev Schreiber
on New Year's Eve but you gotta buy me a few drinks to hear that story. - John Turturro
in Union Square looking tall and handsome. I’ve always had a strange little crush on him.

Leapin' for Obama
I saw this photo and had to share it. I absolutely LOVE it.
When Barack first won, I just could not believe it. My cynical nature needed Fox News to report it. Then I needed McCain's speech. Then I needed to go to bed, wake up and hear NPR tell me that it was true. When all of that happened, I realized that this was for real. I cried with joy and disbelief. I cried all through Morning Edition and into BBC World News.
My story is not new. Many of you reading this cried with joy (hopefully). But now I am filled with feeling that the way I see race relations in the US are now forever altered.
I never knew how cynical I had become; how I honestly thought that this country was far too racist to let this happen. Now I have to rethink everything. And I want to. I don't want to craft all of the arguments about this country still being racist because of X, Y or Z. This is a new day. Anything is possible.
So now what? What holds you back? I realized that some unknown forces hold me back at times and well, I have to think about that. My life can be whatever I want it to be. Now I know it is so. Onward!

My vote!!!
I sort of can't believe this day. I couldn't sleep so I voted at 6:15 am. I waited in line for an hour but I couldn't complain. This is what we have been waiting for.
I haven't had much to say on my blog lately, partially because my computer is dead and partially because I've just been really active in life and less active on the computer.
Overall, I wish I had done more to help Obama win. I've been so busy that I haven't been out in Pennsylvania grabbing folks in the streets. But I have been praying for him which is something I only do for my parents and my brother.
My friend and I were talking about today and how, as an African American, we've been so cautiously hopeful. Today is the first day that we feel like folks that we know are finally being able to grasp the possible concept of a Black president. But really, it's not just a "Black" president. It is the best candidate and an overall amazing man.
Like I've said before, this whole process of following and supporting Barack Obama has been like falling in love. It is incredibly scary and every day, I am scared that this amazing feeling will go away.
My line was intense, an hour at 6:15am! One guy got annoyed and the moment he was about to get angry, a woman just looked at him and, "Not today sir. Not today." And he just shut up. He knew that today was not the day to throw a fit. It is too beautiful a day.
