1. WOW!!! Am I old or what? I only recognized two faces...
Dustin Hoffman and Ellen Degeneres. A couple other voices sounded familiar though...

I guess I don't get around much anymore...:(

But it was an effective public message!...:D

Not in order: Kyra Sedgwick and husband Kevin Bacon, Halle Berry, Amy Adams, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Giovanni Ribisi, Kate Bosworth, Tobey MacGuire, Eva Longoria, Jamie Foxx, Benitio Del Toro, and Lauren Linney.

Think Samuel L jackson was in there shortly too.

The overweight guy with the glasses was Jonah Hill from Superbad (among others).

14. Well, I wasn't joking about one thing.
I do watch tv all day because I am in poor health and have to depend on someone else to take me anywhere. (although watching it is a little bit misleading, the tv is on for noise for me and the dogs.) Other than my sleep time, walking the dog and doing the little bit of housework I do, I sit in my recliner (with feet elevated) in front of the tv with my laptop on my lap. The only time I go out is to hit the grocery store or to make a run somewhere with my daughter. But don't feel sorry for me, this is s perfect life for me and my agoraphobia and generalized edema.

Last Monday I went out for two hours to phone bank for Obama, so that day I did not watch it quite all day and my stress level went way up. ;)

15. I phone banked for Obama last week, only 1 1/2 hours...
how did yours go? I got quite a few republicans and several undecideds. I didn't have much of a sense of accomplishment when I was done. I think I should canvas instead...I did that for Kerry in '04.

17. Ours was in Missouri. Where was yours?
Most people were not at home, I got about six a**hole repubs, and six really nice people (five of whch was for Obama and one undecided). And I felt no sense of accomplishment either. I felt like I should not be bothering the people really. In 2004 I was much more active, but my health is much worse now and I feel like I have to let others do it this time.

I got an email from a fellow Obama supporter (that I met in 2004) wanting me to come to the VP debate meeting tomorrow night, but I doubt if I will go. I have to be where I can turn it off if it starts to make me too nervous. My daughter may go, and I hope she does.

20. I wish I could write a longer, wittier post.
But between pooping and registering, I'm stretched kinda thin right now. Not much of a multi-tasker.
