Okay, now my ringtone is the keyboard intro to "Take on Me."
Yeah, go ahead, point and laugh. I would.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

I doubt if [link] is real, but if it is, it means I scored the same on the SATs as Sarah Palin, when I took them in the 7th grade.
I actually did just slightly better. also in the 7th grade.

Barb, did you see the video I linked to a couple days ago?
Yes, it's a variant of "Take on Me"

A nice follow-up to that other article from Daily Kos that I linked to upthread: Rednecks for Obama!

Barb, did you see the video I linked to a couple days ago?
Yep, saw it then, and after that, it seemed like it appeared all over my various flists and mailing groups. Clearly, I was earwormed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Not for them. They're not new, they go back to 1970-something Arkansas. Most of the time they work on things like getting crack houses razed or fighting dumping near a neighborhood. Ask me how I know all this...go on ask.
Oh, I know Acorn. I was just kidding.

Rednecks for Obama!
Oh, cool! I saw a sign saying that on the way to work today, but I didn't know it was a whole movement.

Are they installing umbrellas, David?
Erin, I'm thinking of taking the 5th off for that exact reason. Either way, I see a heavy-drinking night on the 4th.
If Obama wins -- and I just can't quite bring myself to type "when," even though I really think he will, because I was so burned over Kerry, after all the predictions had him winning by a healthy margin over Bush --
Steph, Matt Yglesias had a really interesting post on that subject today: [link]

I am working until 10pm on the 4th, at the student center. I have no idea what the vibe at work will be like; should be interesting. Then I get home to watch the results (if it's close, like the last 2).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

No, it's actually a really cool old building. Beautiful and nicely preserved. Not many buildings in downtown SF where you can open a window, so I like that.
But the firm is growing a bit and they don't want to leave so they're rebuilding the space. So they're cannibalized the entire reception space for a new office. Now when you walk in the front door and there's a wall three feet from your face. It's going to be very claustrophobic. And the new reception/admin space is going to be shoved in a weird corner.
Oh well, I'm stationed in the conference room for the time being. No parasols needed.
