it just occurred to me that i have 45 minutes to come up with a speech to make to branner that will convince them to vote for me for secretary. hmm. what need i say? "vote for me. you'll actually *see* a branner newsletter every week. an informative, interesting, and entertaining newsletter, not a 'brian dunne's personal rant' newsletter. and the dorm government won't be a complete sausagefest. i'd love to put off my studying for the hour or two a week it'll take me to fulfill this job... really."

i think that will do. perhaps i'll just go read some more tolkien now. (:
