How...North -- hhhhooldddd your horses there, missy! How am I sposed to control Texas? Do these blog posts look like they come from the office of the guvn'er? or even outta the governor's ass? Because I sometimes drink like Sam Houston is no reason to think I'm the incarnate ragin' spirit of The Raven, ready to lay down the law to a buncha whacked Lone Star yahoos. Although, since you are the light of my life, I guess this means I have to get serious and figure out where my damn caucus is meeting. Where's that note they gave me... Hmm, {putting on reading glasses}, says hmmm hmmm voter mmm mbbll after... What? I'm supposed to meet at 7:15 pm on Tuesday where my Primary Precinct Polling location is? 7:15? Holy Moses! That means missing the Wheel of Fortune rerun! And Vanna is sposed to be wearing one of her famous Bill Blass beige and yellow sunflower ensembles, too! <BR/>Okay, I'll do it for you, North. This is obviously a HUGE sacrifice.Roger Gathmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257400843748041639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-11135575385476461432008-02-27T05:05:00.000+01:002008-02-27T05:05:00.000+01:00Roger. if Obama doesn't win Texas i'll never speak...Roger. if Obama doesn't win Texas i'll never speak to you again! just thought i'd give you a heads up. :) have fun caucusing. take pix!<BR/><BR/>Amie. roger must be the "empty signifier" of something. i know he is! but what?northangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02124226438327229521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-75003397432219088332008-02-27T04:11:00.000+01:002008-02-27T04:11:00.000+01:00North, you are quite welcome!

Though, when it comes to linking to the stars, I'm in the stone age compared to you.<BR/>I do want to apologize to Ugolino and LI for my rather side-tracking comments, but hey, a chained bird and the oscars were brought up and my synapses work in strange ways!<BR/>At least I did not go on about Daniel Day Lewis/Daniel Plainview as the "empty signifier" of capitalism, which seems quite the rage in theory blogs!

But I know I voted for Marion Cotillard in that voter booth. Or for Barack Obama. Yeah, it was for Obama, who has rien to regrette, as of yet.Roger Gathmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257400843748041639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-14444950692114145012008-02-27T02:57:00.000+01:002008-02-27T02:57:00.000+01:00thanks Amie, for all the Piaf links. i was impress...thanks Amie, for all the Piaf links. i was impressed by the small snippet on the Oscars of Marion Cotillard's performance. watching her play Piaf walking into the room.... i need to watch the whole thing!<BR/><BR/>Roger, we could live blog the...um, i know! the Texas two-step next Tues.northangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02124226438327229521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-77428028765428207742008-02-26T20:52:00.000+01:002008-02-26T20:52:00.000+01:00Amie, I am so with you on french singers singing i...Amie, I am so with you on french singers singing in English that it makes me cry to think that a naturally sweet language for singing like French is swept aside by eurovision-addled groups, looking for airplay on Berlin rock n roll stations, singing in English!<BR/><BR/>I try not to think about it too much, otherwise I start getting like Brando in Apocalypse Now.Roger Gathmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11257400843748041639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3077210.post-16171218125722404292008-02-26T07:21:00.000+01:002008-02-26T07:21:00.000+01:00North, were we bad not doing an Oscar thread?
