minkhollow | campaign managing is FUN.

Added yet another point to that in the comments - little to no campaign-fund necessity. (The icon is essentially what the signs would look like, after all.) And the suggestion of putting Vimes up for the office first was a really good one. As was just going straight to the entire planet, but it's really best if you take these things slowly.
In other news: mumblemumblejohnnydeppshould'vegotbestactormumble. But at least RotK cleaned up.
Watched animated!Wyrd Sisters between yesterday and today. Not bad, all things considered. Those of you who haven't seen either - if you have to pick one, go with Soul Music.
After first period an entire hallway of the school smelled like toast. This was apparently to do with someone's how-to project. Even so, that overwhelming of a smell that early in the morning... just. DUDE. Give me some toast, yo!

Dad loves "Total Eclipse of the Heart" - I think it's all right. And I've heard bits and pieces of "Cars" (primarily thanks to VH1's one-hit wonders countdown) - odd little song but really not too bad. The way I see it, anything released in the 1980s was either hit or miss, and that varies from person to person. Michael Jackson, for example. If you ask me, MISS.
I don't think we've got that one. It's entirely possible that we've got it on vinyl or cassette, but I rarely dig into either of those (the vinyl more often - Simon Townshend, 'Fear is Never Boring,' Quarterflash, Hermit of Mink Hollow before I got it on CD, a few other things I'm forgetting at the moment...).

Dad loves "Total Eclipse of the Heart"

If he's anything like me, his appreciation of the song probably got a recharge seeing Cate Blanchett dancing around and lipsynching it in Bandits. Best moment of the movie.

To round out my description of How I Spent My 80s, I also listened to a lot of jazz, especially Miles Davis and James Blood Ulmer.

Hey, ever listen to the Rundgren-produced Tubes album Remote Control? It was in the late 70s, before they had a real hit.

...Not to my knowledge, but I did notice at one point that he produced something for them. ("She's a Beauty" - there's another for the '80s-music list.) And then I sort of filed the fact away in the back of my mind.
I've always been completely bowled over by the amount of work Todd did himself on his albums - all of it, in some cases. Just... wow.
