I have been participating in the "When Obama wins..." meme on Twitter, and I just posted: "When Obama wins, Istanbul will change its name back to Constantinople."
I was thinking of making a comment on Obama/Clinton/whomever American politics, but I'm in Canada and it's a sticky issue. Most of my politics are derived from listening to smart anarcho-punk stuff and my inherent distrust of "public opinion". (Read: sheep.) And toes'd be stepped on and hackles would be raised. There's enough of that in the world. :)

The Bees and i were playing Superman, in which i have my arms out like Superman, and she rides on my back, which turned into Titanic, when she starts to claw me while getting to the highest point she can reach, posturing like she's "King of the World". It'll ends in tears, so i made her jump off, but now she gets to listen to the radio and sulk.
It was either Morrissey or Marr who said her version of "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby" was the definitive version, and I'd have to agree with them.

9. Ben Folds - Still Fighting It (4:28)
10. Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen (4:04)

12. Hoodoo Gurus - I Want You Back (3:11)
13. R.E.M. - Can't Get There From Here (3:40)
there's 4 to go, and i may be up for a few more, we'll see. i'm on pacific time.
Aha! One of my favorite old R.E.M. songs. (I don't have many favorite new R.E.M. songs, Accelerate excepted.) I used to play this all the time on my college radio station, er, when it was new. *sigh*
I have to bail out soon soon soon... supposed to be up taking someone to the airport in about 4.5 hours, and I just finished my last Guinness. Argh. Tomorrow morning may suck.
I hope we have a stopover in Atlanta whenever we go to the U.S. Making BP go to the airport is fun, and something everyone should participate in as much as possible.
