WatchDon’t care whatcha say, I like this Taylor Swift song. Maybe it’s because I like people dressed up in woodland creature costumes and red lipstick or maybe it’s because it’s peppy and she looks so cute with straight hair. Whatever the reason, I’ve already watched this video twice.

Flights. Camera. Amy? →
And now, I proudly present a :60 video co-workers and I created which has somehow become a FINALIST in the American Airlines’ “Flights. Camera. Action.” video contest (nope…we can’t believe it either)!!! It stars yours truly (…nice hair, dummy) blithering on and being ridiculously perky.

Robert Reich: Romney's Lying Machine →
High five, as usual, for Robert Reich.
