So, And Thus...

Obama Wins!

I'm going to sleep tonight with a profound feeling of peace. I haven't had that in quite a long time.

Just now, Ein Oso and I experience a lifetime event (I've had quite a few of them this year!), one that moved us so deeply, we couldn't help but to cry. Hope has made its way beyond hatred. Unity has replaced division. Truth has finally arrived.

I remember waking up the day after the November 2004 election. The news that President Bush won a second term left me completely numb. For days, I was in a haze of depression. I kept on thinking that people "just didn't get it". After these 8 years, I think people started to catch on.

I'm so excited to have Barack Obama be our President. I'm so grateful to see honesty return to our nation. I'm looking forward to the future.

It's Official!

Great news!

Happy Birthday!

La Magnifica!!!

I had to ask the cat not to say anything.

Sarah Palin sounds like Miss Teen South Carolina... again

Well, she was in a beauty pageant, right?

I love the irony in Sarah's response, especially-- "in terms of being able to answer a question forthrightly". Jeez, just look at this response, not to mention the numerous others that make little or no sense!! She can't compose coherent sentences, yet she has the gall to criticize (however misguided, but that's another rant) someone else for allegedly being evasive.

From the op-ed in the NY Times:

"Palin finally took questions on Tuesday from her traveling press corps on her campaign plane. Asked if she thought Senator Obama was dishonest, McCain’s Mean Girl meandered:

“I’m not saying he’s dishonest, but in terms of judgment, in terms of being able to answer a question forthrightly, it has two different parts to this. The judgment and the truthfulness and just being able to answer very candidly a simple question about when did you know him, how did you know him, is there still — has there been an association continued since ’02 or ’05, I know I’ve read a couple different stories. I think it’s relevant.”

Most Disapproved President Ever - Andrew Sullivan

Bush hits 70 percent disapproval in ABC News' poll. That's never happened in the history of the poll since 1938. Worse than Nixon. And so richly deserved.

And there you have it.

Happy Birthday, DanK

We wish you as much happiness as this bear is displaying.

Husband and Husband

This past Saturday, Ein Oso and I got married in Provincetown, MA.

This was one of the most wonderful moments of my life.

Thank you Dank, Muskie and La Magnifica (what a surprise!) for sharing this moment with us.

I love you, Ein Oso!

Tigre Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

New Wendy and Lisa: White Flags of Winter Chimneys

A new Wendy & Lisa album!

Free download of their first track "Invisible" can be found on their website.

Their MySpace page has "Invisible" and another track called "Balloon", both from the new album. Incredible!

Not sure when the album will be released, but I just got chills thinking about it.

I've been a huge W&L fan ever since they were with Prince. I'm glad they had time to squeeze in another album among all the soundtrack work they've been doing.

White Flags of Winter Chimneys. (cool cover)

Album name is taken from the Joni Mitchell song "Hejira".
