I know, for the Peter Gabriel purists out there, this is kind of the annoying song. But it’s one of my favorites, and I found a very fun live version with Youssou N’Dour here. Just enjoy the thought of how it would have been to be there.

And I just found a much older (read: 80’s) version, but it looks fun, too.

Sarah Palin has been quoted today as saying, “it would be my honor to assist and support our new president and the new administration.”

While I appreciate the extra mile thing she’s doing, I think she did her level best to ensure an Obama victory.

I was recently turned on to postsecret.com — it’s a blog that posts scans of postcards sent to its owner. People make their own postcards with really fascinating messages and send them in. The only rule, apparently, is that you HAVE to send a card — it can’t be e-mail or any other form of communication. It now resides in my blogroll to the right. Check it out every week or so — there’s a new batch every now and again, and they’re always interesting.

I just hung our flag out in a fit of patriotism after we got back from voting. We had about a fifteen minute wait — certainly manageable. Of course, our precinct is kind of soccer-mom-heavy and we timed it out so it would be right between the early work rush and the mid-day housewife rush. I expect it’ll be pretty dicey after work tonight.

I was going to go downtown to the Obama rally tonight, but my ticket never came. Lizzie’s did, but she doesn’t want to go. And I’m just as happy to stay home with her and Nora and watch history happen together.

While I’m slightly concerned that our flag will make us look like a polling place, I’m perfectly happy to accept any votes for McCain here.
