Content-free Friday... er... Wednesday Shares the Love

Three things from around the flist this week:

1. Are you tone-deaf?. infintysquared passes along this opportunity to test out of future recruitment attempts for the church choir (or this opportunity to engage in, as he puts it, some musical dick-waving). I tested out at above 90%, which is not a surprise. triadruid tested out in the normal range (low 70s, I think), despite what he may tell you about his ears, brain, or singing ability.

2. The Best Thing Ever Project, noticed by digibri, asks users to choose between two options to determine the best thing ever. It's a fine way to waste a whole lot more time than one might think. There used to be a site called whatsbetter.com that did a very similar thing, and that Dan The Abbot Of Lesbians and I used to discuss endlessly over IM during interminable afternoons at work, but that site has passed. I'm all nostalgic all of a sudden, but this is a worthy substitute.

3. From rougewench, ( Which Bond Girl Am I? )

The results here should be surprising to no one.

I voted Republican once.

Last night, we were talking about Mark Funkhouser (previously KCMO's auditor) running for mayor, and it was beginning to sound like he would be the sort of mayor of which I would approve. And so I was talking about the fellow who was mayor of Jacksonville when last I lived there, and how much I liked him, even though he was a Republican and I usually don't swing that way. He was a decent fellow, did a lot to take care of the city and revitalize some of the broken bits, which I always like, and on a completely unrelated note, I had seen him cut loose at a Jaycees fundraiser afterparty and sing the "Sweet Transvestite" song from RHPS. But I couldn't for the life of me remember his name.

As it turns out, his name is John Delaney. And Wikipedia informs me that after his last term as mayor, he became the president of the University of North Florida, which is where I went to school. I think that's pretty nifty.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled drama and angst.
