obama update

so, can't write too much now, but elizabeth is being pushy ;)

it was a great event. they used this video right before obama came out on the stage:


so that when he did come out, my eyes definitely started to water. not full on weeping, just very wet. we were so close to the stage and where he came out. you ever feel like the world has gone to hell and there's no hope? well, i didn't realize i had that angry monkey on my back till i saw him in person and got some hope. he's real! and he's for real. it felt like one of the more important moments in my life.

i'll definitely write more, and post pictures later this week. one of the highlights was hearing earl blumenour (the congressman from oregon who always wears a bow tie) say "President Barack Obama". it was the first time i heard that phrase, and it was magical. it won't be the last time i hear it.

YES WE CAN!

obama comes to pdx!

so we got tickets to see barack on friday. we're pretty excited. that is all.

Made it to B

i made it to B! it was nice, i finished off A w/ Aye Davanita by Pearl Jam and started the Bs w/ Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba by The Mr. T Experience. right now, though, i'm patiently waiting for Baby Baby Baby by TLC to finish. it's over 5 minutes long. ughhhh.....

i'm going to have to wait a couple more days for my favorite song from vitalogy to come up: Bugs!


gotta go do stuff, but will highlight some favorites of the As at a later date....

music... alphabetically

so, following in the footsteps of mr. andrew, as i often do musically, i've started listening to my music collection in alphabetical order. i started off w/47 titles that started w/a symbol or a number. some of the best of that group:

• 7 by Prince
• 16 Military Wives by The Decemberists
• 19 Nervous Breakdown by The Rolling Stones
• 40' by Franz Ferdinand
• 5/4 by Gorillaz
• 2000 Light Years from Home by The Rolling Stones
• 36-24-36 by Violent Femmes
• 100 Flower Power Maximum by Cracker
• 54-46 Was My Number by Toots & The Maytals
  

some bad times were had b/c of these guys:

• three versions of 3rd Planet by Modest Mouse
• 97 Bonnie & Clyde by Eminem

i'm in the A's now. i have a freaking lot of songs whose first word is "All" (29), including three versions of All Apologies by Nirvana, two versions of Allison by The Pixies and 2 versions of All You Need is Love by The Beatles.

i'll probably post more as this thing progresses.

Garfield minus Garfield

If you haven't seen Garfield Minus Garfield you have really got to check it out. What happens when you take the cat out of the comic? You end up w/a paranoid, schizophrenic, bipolar john arbuckle. it's really funny.
