Transgendered American Gothic
My brother Russell and his boss from work dressed up as the couple from American Gothic (note that they even have the frame around themselves). Not too far off, huh? (Click to embiggen.)

I really like that. I would like to do mine bigger. I like the idea of large pictures or at least the option for large ones. It looks nice.
I would join your burn but my frigging burner cord died so no power. Gah!

I liked your audio blog, and I can understand a democrats reson for not liking the electorial college right now, but! The electorial college is what keeps this country being ran by only the large cities, where the popution is concentrated. Your vote is still counted and since we have an electorial college it allows for people in smaller states and from rural areas to have a vote as well. Look at the states of South Dakota, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Arkansas, without the electorial college the people in these states would almost never have any sort of a voice to be heard in the presidential election. I think that it is a great thing. I am from a rural area, and this is one of the things that makes this country great.

A Different Kind of Switch
By now we're all familiar with the Apple Switch ads. Errol Morris, the creator of the ads, has changed them up a bit for Switch: Election '04, ads that show people giving the reason that though they voted for Bush in 2000, they won't be voting for him again this year.
I found the ads very moving (though the ones where the woman goes, "I'm still a Baptist, but I'm no longer a Republican," makes me giggle) and they only reinforced my desire that Bush not be reelected this year. Simply put, the man scares me.
I'll be voting again this year, though my Democratic vote in Texas doesn't really count for much. Make sure you go and do the same.

Oh! Her accent at the end as she said that was so cute - it made me laugh too!
Just remember, we get to cancel another vote out. I always like to pick someone I know has or is voting for Bush and dedicate my cancellation vote to them. :)

i have the reverse "problem". illinois will decisively vote for kerry, so my vote won't count for much either...but in a good way.

It seems that only a small handful of states will be deciding this election and and even smaller number of lawyers who will no doubt file lawsuits to make a big mess of everything.

Christine, feel free to dedicate your vote to me. and Kymberlie, you can have Boy's vote. ;-)
Posted by girl at October 29, 2004 12:56 AM
ROFL! Girl, thanks for the offer! Hmmm... maybe I'll have to change my dedication. It was going to another local blogger, but since you offered. ;)
Posted by Christine at October 29, 2004 04:04 PM
If enough of us who think our vote doesn't count in Texas DO get out and vote wouldn't it be a HOOT if Texas went to Kerry's side??!! Funnier things have happened...the Red Sox won the World Series!

You Can't Rock Light Without Afternoon Delight
I was sitting at home Monday afternoon watching CSI on the TiVo (Did anyone else squeal with delight when Sark from Alias showed up as a lab tech? I kept expecting him to talk with a snotty, British accent and be very condescending to people. First they have Alex Krycek and now Sark. Must be villian season.) when my phone rang. It was my hot lawyer Katie asking me to join her for an evening out.
We had originally planned to go see The El Orbits (yes, I still have a crush on David Beebe) at The Continental Club, but it turned out that The Light Rock Express - comprised of a few El Orbits members - were playing instead. We figured that that would be good enough, called Irfan and Gil to come join us, and headed out the door.
We got there, got our drinks, and presently were joined by the guys. Irfan pointed out that I don't really blog much any more and I pointed out that there's not too much going on for me to blog about (of course, I still haven't blogged about my trip to see Mac, but I promise to real soon).
The evening was lot of fun. I danced with both Gil and Katie (though I was never sure which one of us was supposed to be leading) and we got to sing along to such light rock classics as "Afternoon Delight," "Escape - The Pina Colada Song," and "How Deep is Your Love?" As Katie put it, it was just like listening to Sunny 99.1, only better. I even managed to impress Katie with my Burger Time playing skills, causing her to give me the title of "Burger Time Savant." I'm sure my mother's very proud.
The Light Rock Express is going to be at the Continental Club the next couple of Mondays instead of The El Orbits, so it's not a bad idea to go out and hear them. It was ladies night, too, so Katie and I got to drink for $1.00. Good friends, light rock, and cheap booze - the essence of a perfect evening.

You sure she wasn't calling you a "BoogerTime Savant"?
Sounds like a fun time! I need to find some good local bands.

Burn It Button
I wanted to make a button so people could link to Burn It (after all I've been doing these Burns for over a year and a half now), but alas, my skills in making a tiny little flame to go on one of these buttons isn't good enough. Anyone want to give it a go for me?

U2 Special Edition iPod
Apple and U2 have teamed up to create the new, special edition iPod for Mac and Windows.
It's totally gorgeous in my opinion, but since I just got a free ipod from FreeiPods.com, I think I'll pass on buying one. It sure is fine looking, though.

Random Music (Because I Feel Like It)
Joelle was bored and decided to do the ten random song thing (start WinAmp, hit random ten times, and post your results).
I'm feeling a little bored myself, so I decided to play along. Here's what I got:
1. Janet Jackson - Let's Wait Awhile
2. Tori Amos - Landslide (Live - East Lansing 1994)
3. Madonna - Nobody's Perfect
4. The Porter Project - I Love Paris
5. Brandy - Baby
6. Huey Lewis & The News - If This is It
7. Wet Wet Wet - Love is All Around
8. Spin Doctors - Little Miss Can't Be Wrong
9. Faith No More - I Started a Joke
10. Squeeze - Heaven Knows
I'm actually suprised that nothing too unhip made that list considering some of the things I have as mp3s (How the hell do I have Don Johnson - yes, Miami Vice Don Johnson - singing something? WTF?).
