Why Am I Not At The AAAS Convention?

Well, mainly because I hadn’t heard of it.  But thanks to Wired.com and their many super-wired blogs, I am now aware of this American Association for the Advancement of Science and its Annual Meeting in Chicago happening this weekend.  So far, they’ve discussed neanderthal genomes, philematology (the science of kissing), and face transplants.  As far as I’m concerned, it’s tied with New York Fashion Week as the numero uno place to be right now.

It’s moments like these I dream of having, if not an endless supply of money, an endless supply of plane tickets.  In this wonderful imaginary world, I’d hit up Chicago and listen to scientists talk about biofuels, synthetic life,  mental evolution, space in it’s early days, and the global integration of local ecosystems. Then I’d hop a jet to New York just in time for Tibi on Tuesday, Anna Sui on Wednesday, Rebecca Taylor on Thursday, and Project Runway (9 a.m.!) on Friday.

Even if it was possible to go on such a trek, what would I do with such a knowledge?  Ha, I’d probably write about it.   But I don’t have the funds to get there, and therein lies my answer – and also why I’m here in the ATL, writing into the endless void of the interweb.

Okay, Whatever

Yippity kiyiyay!

Screw finding a new name for a new blog.  I like Savage Hippy, and I’m not parting with it.

A Note From Lady Beth

Dear loyal reader(s):

Major apologies for the recent lack of posts.  Lately my life has been full of wonderful things – birthday parties, movie dates, Thanksgiving dinner.  As much as I’m enjoying Savage Hippy and all the comments and conversations it’s started, I can’t say no to celebrating with my family and friends.

Another reason I’ve been slack is because I’m working on another site with a broader format.  I love writing about politics and and finance and economics, but I’m also interested in celebrities and comic books and movies and music and any other random subject I happen to find interesting.  As soon as I figure the whole thing out, I will post a link for the few of you who are interested.

Finally, I am beginning to come down off the week-long high following the election of Barack Obama.  Man, that genuine happiness thing is some gooood stuff – had me all flighty and giddy for days.  Takes me back to the time I first tried Pixy Stix.  Good times.

WE DID IT!

I haven’t cried this much since the first time I saw Steel Magnolias.
