Michael Jackson on Ugly Betty

Just kidding.

But is it just me, or does Ugly Betty's Vanessa Williams strike an uncanny resemblence to Michael Jackson, circa 1987?

Williams:

Ok, maybe not. Just saying. Time for a throwback anyway:

Michael performing Thriller live in 1987:

Buckin up to Soca

Get this: I think I'm ACTUALLY cracking my way out of a 13-year depression. ACTUALLY. I'm really hoping this isn't some short-lived euphoria, some hormone induced high. Somehow, I don't think it is--because I feel that joy on a spiritual level.

Anyway, in my happier state, I've been listening to a good deal of soca lately. Thought I'd share this Super P jam with y'all.

GOIN DOWN TONIGHT (Grenada Soca 2007) - Super P

It's one of my favorites cuz it's a lovely response to Bomani:

Ah Not Going - Bomani

Anyway, enjoy the soca! And for all the lady lovers out there, I hope y'all are the type who "go down and say they do...."

Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer...

My co-worker became my boss last week. So we took advantage of the oh-so-quiet summer office life in D.C. and gave him a proper welcome, with 580 balloons.

I can now say that I have stayed at work past midnight and spent the night!

Happy Monday!
