Solidarity Obama
Whenever I hear the phrase “President-elect Obama” I immediately set it to the tune of the words “Solidarity Forever” from Billy Eliot.
Instead of
Solidarity solidarity
Solidarity forever
I sing
President-elect President-elect
President-elect Obama
I just can’t stop.
(You can hear the original in this clip at about 1:59 and several times thereafter.)
It’s like eight years ago, when W picked Dick Cheney as his running mate and people were going around replacing the words “Slim Shady” with “Dick Cheney” in the Eminem song.
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving was nice. We went to my brother and sister-in-law’s place on the East Side, where we had twelve people. I made my first apple pie yesterday and brought it for dessert. Here it is, courtesy of my new iPhone:
Here’s the inside:
My mom went kinda crazy on the dessert-baking herself. She made a lemon polenta cake, a hazelnut chocolate mousse, a lemon meringue pie, and chocolate chip cookie peanut butter sandwiches. We also had ginger snaps, brownies, cupcakes from Crumbs, and a fruit plate. In total we had 9 desserts for 12 people. (The lemon polenta cake is behind the water pitcher.)
We left feeling stuffed. We have tons of leftovers. And tonight we’re going out for dinner.
As for the iPhone: I love it.
