Hail to the chef

Last Tuesday was one of the most exciting days of my life. This was partly due, of course, to that magical moment when I knew Barack Obama had been elected and the weird kind of intimate frenzy that grew within me watching his speech. Less monumental, but more exciting, was my setting the kitchen on fire, which led to an explosion. This was my first uncontrolled explosion and it was scary as a motherfucker. Nobody got hurt, but it took me 2 days to clean and repaint the kitchen. Afterwards I felt fully awake, tingly, like nothing physical existed anymore.

I was stoked that Obama won too. I didn't have an explosion in my kitchen that night but there was much drinking in celebration!

See? This is precisely why we have to follow fire regulations for the eargasm key party! Somebody always gets too excited and burns down the kitchen.

I'd still love to hear your song choices though. I'll bet they would be pretty sublime.
