Leaving Las Vegas by Sheryl Crow
This song is kind of biographical for me, since I am currently in Las Vegas and I'm leaving today. As such, it is very special.
At Uluru, which is a big rock surrounded by jerky tourists (myself not excluded).
Camels, dingos, wedge-tailed eagles, galahs, and more stars than I will ever see again in my life. Seriously--did you know that the Southern Hemisphere actually looks towards more stars than the Northern? Lucky jerks. Anyway, there's also a big bloody emu up there.
Will catch up when I have more time!

There's a lot of potential for wasting time on the internets. I know. And here's one more: a message board where the thotful and snarky and sincere and friendly all meet to slack off and share some web 2.0 time. It's where the neat meet to bleat. Sometimes elite, sometimes effete, sometimes Pete (if a guy named Pete registers), it's all there at The People's Republic of Aimless Chatter:
Two minute whirlwind rundown:
- Phillip Island: I love it! I would like to live there pls!
- Penguins, wallabies, platypus (es?), kangaroos, kookaburras, Tasmanian devils, echidnas, wombats, frilled lizards, and so on.
- Couchsurfing: rules! Now I have the nicest Aussie friend!
- Melbourne: Totally moody and beautiful. Really tall building. Great food.
- Hostel: Overwhelming and full of grouchy backpackers.
- Karaoke: Not present in Melbourne. I know this because Trista and I drunkenly walked all over downtown Melbourne searching for some for three hours. This ended in the most hilarious fight of our lives.
- Dancing: Mad King Thomas has OFFICIALLY premiered internationally! Nine people saw my solo and also said nice and useful things about it. I met a sweetheart by the name of Jade and ah--I love it when networking is nice and not skeezy.
- No sunburn to speak of!
- Currently in Uluru and suffering slightly from shock in the transition from rainy, cozy, urban Melbourne to bright, shiny, vaguely dangerous, insanely expensive Uluru.
- Next up (in a few days): Cairns, the Reef, Port Douglas, then (stunningly) home.
I just bought 2 tix for the show in September in Mountain View. Holy Beejebus they were expensive ($110 each after fees + fees + FEES!) but I lub them plus Maroon 5 is going to be there too. So hell - $55 for 2 kick ass bands = worth it!

Here's how I have to think about it the issue -- does it damage Obama's chances to call him on the carpet at this point?
What I say to everyone else:
I support the candidacy of Barack Obama. I think he is the best choice for president of the US and I will give my time, my money, and my effort to helping elect him. Wholeheartedly. Without equivocation.
What I say to Candidate Obama:
I think you are on the wrong side of these issues: ethanol, FISA, stereotyping Muslims, maybe Palestine, I'm sure there are others.
I expect you to run your campaign with integrity and without providing Republicans with the means to damage downticket races, or to somehow mobilize the deadenders to get behind John McCain.
In addition, I expect you to dance with those of us who brung you, when you get elected. Since 90% of your donations come from people who give $100 or less, that means continuing to reach out to, and "take the temperature of," we, the people.
And finally, when you get elected, move off the right-of-center spot that Democrats ALWAYS have to move to, to get elected.
I know you're not progressive, but you're not stupid and I believe you when you say all those inspirational things you say about how things can really be. I know you can't outline the costs, both literal and metaphorical, right now, or you'll never get elected. But I expect you to ask something of us after you get in. Like I said, you have me now, for what it's worth. And you have 4 years.
