Oh, not the Associated Press, they've covered his tour plenty -- our Author Promotions department, plus it would have been nice for my direct VP, or even for the sake of appearance, SuperFlakyDitzy!BigBoss.
Okay, I'm used to ghetto media set-ups from my days in the Philippines, but Bangladeshi TV sent one bloke, who came late, with one mic-ed camera, and four camera phones (presumably, his producer's and his in-laws' and their friends') to cover the event? *shakes head* And to your point about punctuality, he arrived an hour late (press call is always 6:30 for a 7:00 pm event).
OTT, I was pleasantly astonished about how many white people came up speaking in fluent Bengali, and the number of people representing new microcredit agencies from Harlem to Mexico City. And there was this super cute Pakistani-Filipino sixth grader who asked the question "Does microcredit have a viable future? If so, how and why?". He had written a paper (he referenced primary sources!) and is making a documentary about microcredit.
Bored now (is it obvious?). Am backing-up my iTunes onto an external drive, have seasoned and marinated meat, and am arranging to have my Banana Republic leather bag cleaned up by Kenneth Cole.
Oh, and your Mac powercord has finally bit the bucket, so I've added that to my list for next Friday. On the boards there have been so many complaints about it that I'm tempted to go third party (it's $30 cheaper, though it'll take a week to get here; I may just bite the bullet and get it from the Apple store).
