I’ve become mildly obsessed with this bit of Oklahoma history in advance of our trip to the Panhandle, so here’s this:

If this doesn’t make you laugh, and maybe pee a little, then I have to seriously wonder what you could possibly be enjoying about any of the rest of this website:

There are at least 3 cartoons missing from the following collection of 80’s cartoon introductions. If you can name the specific three that Brian and I found, I may just have to send you some kind of prize. And no, neither Pee-Wee’s Playhouse nor anything from Nickelodeon counts; we’re talking network Saturday morning here, people. Still, it lifted my spirits when they needed some serious lift. Enjoy!

So, here’s what you should do. You should come to my buddy KC Clifford’s CD release party. It’s at the Blue Door, it’s $10, the doors open at 6:30 p.m., and ITSGONNABESOFUNZOMG. I said it earlier this week, and I’ll repeat: KC’s hitting her creative stride in a whole new way, and you’d be seriously remiss if you skip this show. Here, to whet your whistles, so to speak, is a video of KC singing one of her "greatest hits," The Barbie Song.
*Sam Fridays will be coming tomorrow afternoon, and believe me, it’ll be well worth the wait.

Ever since the Oklahoma Gazette joined/formed Tierra Media Group it seems their fortunes have been rising; chief among the signs is the fact that Oklahoma City residents can now see commercials for the paper on their local stations. Three weeks ago my byline was on the cover of this paper, and now, after seeing this commercial, I could not be prouder either of myself or of the publication I’ve been reading since high school and am so proud to occasionally work for:

You’ve all seen this, I’m sure. But since I’m sick as a dog and trapped in my bed with the internet, I’m going to share it with you again. Because no matter how many times I see this, it cracks me up every time. And who knows? Maybe you haven’t seen it, and it’ll lift your spirits:

I’ll be the first to admit this is a perfect example of the kind of ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS "political reporting" that makes this country’s media the laughingstock of the entire universe, but - BUT! - I was watching the Obama acceptance speech and when I saw the "fist bump" I thought it was the cutest "couple moment" between a candidate and his or her spouse that I’d ever seen. Way better than Al Gore grabbing Tipper and making out with her. I mean, really. Just adorable:

This made me smile today. Gotta love the combination of Shirley Bassey and the Muppets.

Here’s some footage from Saturday’s tornado outbreak; Brian and I sat on our sofa and watched this, playing the Gary England Drinking Game as we watched. The next day, we drove through this exact area on our way to the Glass Mountains and Little Sahara. This storm was fascinating as it set down tornado after tornado, each seemingly more powerful than the last. No one was hurt, it seems, and the KWTV team got some of the most impressive tornado footage you’ll ever see. Very cool stuff:
