All right, all right, ya Portland-lovers! Take it easy! Voodoo Doughnut has opened down the street at Universal City, and given the temps in the upper 80s here in sunnie Southern California for the next few days, we thought it was as good a time as any to bring out this all-time fave, a real spring, spring-summer song. You’ll be humming it all day long. Voodoo Doughnut comes up from 0:07 to 0:23. Continue reading →

However, this speech was good since it was mainly recited off the Autocue/TelePrompTer. Thank you. Good work. Autocue/TelePrompTer is your friend if you have trouble with nouns and verbs doing the heavy lifting. Oblahblah: master of reading off the Autocue/TelePrompTer. Also, some say he was born in Kenya.

Good work. Continue reading →
