You Don’t Know Ben Folds At All!

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

Here’s another great video directed by Tim & Eric of Cartoon Network’s [adult swim] fame. The first one I noticed was The Bird And The Bee’s video for “Polite Dance Song”. This one is for the first single off Ben Fold’s new album released today called Way To Normal. If you are familiar with Tim & Eric’s show then you’ll recognized the characters they play. The video with all it’s T&E weirdness is still sad… and a bit creepy. It does match the lyric content.

Here is the video for Ben Folds’ catchy-as-hell new song, “You Don’t Know Me”. Please enjoy.

This blog is coming out. It’s a big debutante ball of a reveal because I have the power to sways ones of people. I’m voting for Barack Obama.

Not because of his fresh attitude towards government. Not because of his attempt to put the power of America back into the hands of Americans. Not because of his promise to bring affordable health care to all. Not because of his ability to surround himself with knowledgeable people. Not even because he’s a cool cucumber with the ability to remain calm in the heat of the stressful and troublesome problems going on around him and the country which in my mind should be the strongest ability in any candidate for the highest office in this land.

No, I’m voting for Barack Obama because he’s hot!

Too long has Barack Obama’s campaign ignored this. Now is the perfect time to get all moist over a Presidential candidate. Some will call me sexist, but like Bananarama exploiting men in their videos, I say it’s time we stood up against the Palin supporters with our own excuse-me-I-need-to-change-my-panties target of blatant sexual energies.

Oh, sure, Palin looks like Tina Fey and Fey is indeed hot… for a girl. However, my candidate is like a cross between George Clooney and Will Smith all wrapped up in a shear, gauzy veneer of hotness. Talk about transparency in government. Plus he’s sexier than Palin coz he’s got smarts.

And that’s why I’m voting Obama in ‘08. Now it’s your turn to debut your secret macking on the Democratic Presidential nominee. When your Republican friends are complaining about his raising taxes on the rich, respond with “But he’s hot!”*. Or when they are bitching about his supposed socialist slant on government, strike to the heart of the matter and argue, “But he’s hot!”. And don’t let up. You must get your point across with annoying repetition. I’m sure they will appreciate your unwavering devotion to Obama’s best endowment: his eye-candy factor.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to sit down with a glass of wine and some fat-free cookies** while surrounded by candles and watch Barack’s nomination acceptance speech again. Alone…

Here are The Lymphonades.

from l to r: one of Jeff’s boys, Jeff, HDW, me, Lorne, Tami, Larry, Mateo, Leslie, Hayes. Kath was taking the picture. Cameron was there, too. Look:

So far the team raised over $2,800 for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Thanks to all that gave. Really. I’m all serious and stuff.

The best part was seeing all the red, white and gold ballons lit up floating in front and behind me. It seemed to go on forever. It was a good night.

What The Hell Is Going On?

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

You got me. Even Cameron is complaining about the lack of posts here. With the move, the getting better, the setting up a household, the working full days again (see “getting better”), the distraction of World Of Warcraft (hey, baby, wanna see my Blood Elf?) and the (new to us) digital cable, I haven’t been much in the mood to write.

Yeah, I just haven’t been in the mood to write. No other excuse.

I have to get back into the habit of jotting down the hilarious things I witness our fellow humans doing again. That’d be a start.

In the meantime, I’m doing really well. Cameron is doing really well. We basically have one room left to set up in the apartment and then the ‘living’ begins, right?

I’m excited to vote and should be receiving my mail-in ballot in a couple of weeks. No need for the debates for me. I made up my mind back in February. Thankfully, he ended up winning the nomination and the Republicans have only put that decision in cement galoshes, so it ain’t goin’ no where, see? N’yah.

Nothing else to report right now.
