I applaud you for tackling this difficult environmental issue and writing about it so eloquently. Had you been elected... oh, wait, you were, and I voted for you... I feel confident we'd be heading in a much better direction. It is rather discouraging to me that my governor drives a fleet of Hummers and that I share the roads every day with a large number of oversized SUV's. It seems like very few people take global warming seriously. The challenge, and perhaps the key, is to reach these people. The non-believers. Our political leaders should not only set guidelines, they should lead by example. Can you picture Mr. Bush or Mr. Schwarzenegger driving a Toyota Prius? Me neither. A stretch Hummer limo (if such an atrocity exists)? Sadly, yes.
Antony has a very interesting voice... sort of Nina Simone meets Frankenfurter of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. In any case, it's great to be able to add something new and odd and melodic and haunting to my iTunes playlist.
It's pretty much de rigeur. If you really think it bears mentioning just say "Hey I Googled you when I had a crush on you. Did you ever Google me?"Chances are the answer is yes. Because everyone does that.
Commenter Epizia hit it on the head. Just smile, blush and say, "When, I had a crush on you, I Googled you. I hope you don't mind. Oh, and man that ex-boyfriend of yours has a talent for essays, or fiction, or whatever it is he writes. Anyhoo... did you ever Google me?"
