This morning my brain wasn’t playing KPop, it was Daryl Hall & John Oates “Kiss On My List”. This video has the lyrics and they are slightly different from what I thought they were. Enjoy this blast from the past.

Staying at a hotel that has free EV charging. It’s pretty wonderful. How come hotels never offered free gas fill ups when I had a gasoline powered car?
Just drove Hwy 17 to Santa Cruz CA. Twisty turny, beautiful woods, cars jockeying for position, loads of fun. I LOVE CALIFORNIA!!!
I’ve worked election voting centers for many election cycles. I’ve never, until this election, had people request how to change their party affiliation. Didn’t ask from what to what (not my business).
I’ve worked a bunch of elections in voting centers. Did preliminary voting center setup this morning (tables, chairs, wiring, booths). Myself and another were chatting. It sounds like this is going to be more eventful than all previous elections.
Was thinking last week that IU’s song crew and her rep, EDAM, would be a great match for Danielle. This makes me happy.

This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.
"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

This is the full MV of Kim Ji-won at her fan meeting performing “Genie” by Girls Generation. First time I saw this I thought she was substituting for Yoona.

And just because, this is the original video by girls generation.

This morning my brain delighted me with “Dinosaur” a #kpop tune by the brother / sister group AKMU. He comes up with elaborate visualizations and this video is no exception. Enjoy.

Just finished the #kdrama “Where Stars Land” on Viki. I’m bingeing everything containing Chae Soo-bin of “Take Charge of My Heart”. Enjoyed it.
This morning my brain is playing #kpop “Fearless” by LE SSERAFIM. I really love choreography videos. The moves in sync with the music accents and with all the group members. Just a joy to watch.

As I’ve done for every election since 1980, I filled out my ballot while soaking in the tub, drinking an adult beverage (Pinot Grigio).
Next:
Finish the wine.
Bathe
Take ballot to ballot box.
If you come to the Graton Voting center, say hello.
It’s time.
My tradition since 1980, soak in the bath, enjoy wine, and fill out my ballot, sign / seal the envelope, and take it to a drop box.
Every election since 1980, voting while soaking in the bathtub. Pity people in atates where this isn’t possible.
As much as I enjoyed Season 4 of “The Diplomat”, it is NOT structured like a KDrama. KDramas have a beginning, middle, and end. Season 4 of “The Diplomat” has a beginning, middle, and NO END. In that respect, very unsatisfying. Good show. Don’t expect an end.
Lest you think my brain jukebox is only filled with #kpop, this morning it was playing the introduction to the TV show “The Wild Wild West”, the original “steam punk” show.
