Alannis, come check this out!

Last weekend at karaoke (at the magnificent Extreme Lounge attached to the lush York Lanes in sunny Yorktown), I had the most wonderful moment. I've been waiting for it for weeks, really. Ever since I first heard the song "Before He Cheats."

See, there's a line in there that goes like this: "Right now, she's probably up singing some white-trash version of Shania karaoke." Now, if you've heard this song, you know it's going to be sung at karaoke.

So, it's a Saturday night, I'm out at my regular karaoke stomping ground, and I hear the start of the song, so I look up with a little joy twinklin' in my eye. 'Cause up there is...well, another man's White Treasure...and then she gets there and I lose myself in ironic ecstasy. Sheer beauty, really.

Always Use the Flash

A fine example of why you should always use the Flash when taking pictures.

Fun from the Desert

This is a little video that's been passed around at work. For those of you who are deployed, know someone who is, or just want to feel the love...enjoy.

The election's when?

I know this is way early. I do tend to get annoyed with political posturing and what-not, particularly when there is so much time to go.

But all that aside, I found something that I wish for every election cycle: a handy-dandy chart.

Who stands where on what?

I don't know yet whether they plan to update this as things progress, but it's certainly a great place to start when there are so many people and issues that concern us.
