Month: August 2008

I’ve gone ahead and joined Facebook.

It’s the easiest way to keep in touch with The Minion at college, and to have access to friends’ con photos and such. Fear not, though, my primary blogging will remain right here on LJ.

Friend me if ya want (although, to be honest, I’ll probably stick to folks that I actually know — nothing personal).

Grabbed a few pictures taken by others, and figured I’d put them here for posterity’s sake.

Behind the cut, for people who care…

Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics co-wrote this song with Bono from U2. In the debut of this video on the Huffington Post, he writes:

“When we were originally writing the song, Bono was crafting the words in a way that would make people think about the fact that ‘America’ as a concept was a truly great idea, based on the bedrock of equality. I find it more pertinent than ever to release it now; to the moment America finds itself in, daring to re-imagine itself and its place in the world. […] Regardless of what happens in November, Senator Obama has reminded millions of people that they have the power to connect to bigger ideas. He is, in essence, the embodiment of a new anthem for change.”

They’ve filmed a music video featuring Stewart, Joss Stone, Macy Gray, Forrest Whittaker, Herbie Hancock, and tons of others. It’s called “American Prayer” — check it out:

The song is also available as a download from iTunes.
