if things are quiet here over the next couple of days, it will be b/c, as of 11am (est) tomorrow, i'll be hard at work on breaking news, more details available here. i could do w/ the company; the nights get awful lonely, even w/ jon stewart and sean hannity around.

for now, i leave you w/ this cover of amerie's "1 thing" by elbow, whom, at least in the u.s., are best known for their cover of destiny child's "independent woman," which, thanks to animation by joel veitch, became an internet sensation. as for their cover of "1 thing," i know what you're thinking: needs more kittens.
