a break from the blah.

SO, another long day with some unexpected tasks thrown my way, along with a case of the sleepies! it is super junior tuesday in the world of politics and while i am obsessed (and therefore not on task), i just can't bring politics to this page - it's like a dinner party, don't bring up politics and religion! so while i am distracted by primaries and caucuses and preparing for yet ANOTHER snow storm, i took time out to let my brain laugh, thought a little 80's never hurt anyone, so have fun with this too:)
