top-'o-the-morning to y'all..

i do believe, in fact, that we were a funk-ska ensemble with a full gospel choir. the be-fro'ed guy at the co-op was very interested to know where he could procure our latest album.

just to let you all know: it's 80 degrees here, and has been for two weeks or so. it hasn't rained for three weeks. i believe i speak for all of northern california when i say ha on you silly east coast/midwest taspers...we win.

so, now that we've seen all twelve of the finalists, any early predictions for american idol? latoya (bay area pride, oaktown what what) and fantasia are both, clearly, freakin fantastic, but you think middle america would really vote for not one but two black ladies? (don't get me started about racism and american idol...i'm saving that for my master's thesis.) i got my money on mr. pocket mormon, if he can tone down the dancing stuff. oh and that jasmine girl is also really good.

i'm well aware that none of you watch tv, you pretentious bastids, so this goes out entirely to natashia and susan, my sistas in network television. be proud be loud girls.

so, ignoring yablon and eunice (not bitter...not bitter), is it time to start planning our all-tasp reunion? this summer, perhaps? mexico, perchance?
