By the way, I think Rachel Maddow is a goddess. I love how excited she is about the entire election process--she's my favorite smarty-pants TV host (and one of the few I can stand anymore). She had a really cute segment at the end of her show tonight about the supplies you will need for election night, including pasta (to carbo load for energy and long nights) and lots of water and red bull. Funny.

Well, I am going to do a few hours of canvassing in the morning for the Obama campaign, so that should get me revved up. I already voted -- in WA state we have a lovely mail-in ballot system and no polling places at all anymore. We do have drop-off sites for people who don't trust the mail. I am a native of Oregon who have had mail in ballots for years -- and I think it would be wonderful to do either mail in ballots or paper ballots for the entire country.
I am feeling pretty zen at this point--the race I am most interested in locally is Referendum 74, which is the legalization of same sex marriage--it looks like it will pass pretty easily. Woot!
I also come from a family where we are not even close to being on the same page politically. When I talk to my parents, we are very polite and avoid certain topics--and I just delete my mom's crazy (to me) emails. My sister got upset about some of them one day, and I just told her not to read them if they bothered her.
I did have some interesting conversations this year with a co-worker who is voting for the Green Party candidate -- I even listened to one of her speeches. I wish we could get some more of our third party candidates involved in debates and major election coverage as I think it would create more interesting conversation.
And I will be SO HAPPY to not have any phone calls or dumb political ads anymore! The anti gay marriage ads want to make me hurl something at the TV every time they air!

Adamme -- Terrance S*&@^#r was one of the dancers on the Glam Nation tour and is a long-time friend of Adam. He is currently doing a musical in LA as an actor/singer and he is VERY handsome...and his body is...ummm...very nice. Ahem. Terrance is on the left. Edit: Although Brian sings back-up, he's not a true back-up singer--I think that being a dedicated back-up singer would add more depth to the sound than just Brian--although I like Brian.

You know, since it was Rayna tweeting S*&@^#r, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he is going to be singing on this tour to SA. He knows Adam, knows the songs, knows the band, and he IS a good singer (the play he is currently doing is a musical). I know he has wanted to do more singing, so I wouldn't be surprised if Adam decided to take a man he knows and trusts rather than a woman he doesn't know. What do you think?
I also think having one back-up male and one female will add to the songs as well.

An open communication to my fellow Atoppers, the people behind Live in the Vineyard, and most especially one Adam Mitchel Lambert (yah, you there, hiding behind the little Finn with the killer blue eyes and blond mohawk! Take that lolly outta yer mouth and listen up!):
It's your fault. Alla yinz. (Hey, I grew up in Pittsburgh. We talk like that there.) Can't get my work done. I'm flat on the floor, reduced to a little whimpering pile of OMG. My eyeballs iz fried. Just blew my Christmas budget all to hell.
Why? 'Cause yinz won't stop posting animated gifs of Adam performing at the Vineyard and I can't stop watchin and listenin to the Broken English YouTube vid. My heart's beatin rhythm and my soul is a-singin the "my hormones are in overdrive" blues. Too much right-save-click and too many Broken English repeat views, and my laptop's sound and video cards fell down and they ain't gettin up. So what could I do? Splurged on a new computer. I ain't broken, but at least now I don't have to do without my fix: the magnificence of Atop and the sights, sounds, incomparable eyes, lips, (and hips!) of Mr. AFL.
So - what do I gotta say to yinz all for gettin me into this fix?
Thank You Very Very MUCH!!

I love this!

That Daniel Bedingfield video really is stunning -- odd and compelling. It would be interesting to learn exactly how they shot it.

Although I really don't like the color gray, I must say those bridesmaids dresses are pretty nice (for bridesmaids dresses!). I've seen some REALLY ugly ones over the years.

You guys are so funny tonight -- this thread has been so entertaining! I have seen the mysterious picture (which I scrolled through 8 hours of twitter to find, sadly) and he is fully clothed! Honestly--I am SO distressed by this!!! LOLOL.
Happy week-end to everyone!

I'm from Oklahoma kinda crazy and say random things. As a fellow Okie, I resemble that remark. Welcome.
