Moi Is Still Musing Randomly

Moi Is Still Musing Randomly

~Going to see a movie other than Van Helsing tonight. UH? This feels kinda wrong, but since it's The Stepford Wives, I'll try to handle not seeing Richard Roxburgh this weekend.

~Finished reading Bram Stoker's Dracula the other day. It was a good book, but film and tv have made Dracula far more exciting than the book did. In fact, Dracula is hardly in the book. The thing that really irked me was Bram's book doesn't really tell how he became an vampire or give you any enlightenment on that character at all, so in that respect it was disappointing.

~Did some editing work on my vampire story, Not My Slave yesterday. I went through and fixed some dialogue and other parts where Stefan figured in prominantly and made them flow a bit more freely with the story. I'm not sure that there were many changes..but still, that's done. I'll redo part two over the weekend.

~Still unsure of what to do about the job situation. The only plus right now is that I'm getting a paycheck, though it's not much of one. I wish someone would give me direction.

~It's nearly a month since the Bowie concert and those 2 former friends of mine never bothered to call or to apologize. I guess the only thing I was good for was a car. That burns me up. At this point, if they did call, I don't think I could talk to either of them rationally.

~Wenches Wanted! My group blog The Cerifiable Wenches is in need of some new participants. Check out the blog....We do a lot of fun photo memes and rant and rave. Add us to your blogroll...come visit us often.

Who are the wenches?

Myself
Lady Starlight
Cheryl
Squirt
Leah -- who is our template goddess. (She also designed this blog for me...as I have no real html skills)

There are only a few requirements to being a wench.

1. You must be female (kinda obvious)
2. You must post at least once a week.
3. You must have a blogger account, but if you don't you can set one up...easy peasy.

So if any of you want to be a wench...just let me know!

~And now that the musings are over....this blog will remain quiet for the rest of the day in honor of former president Ronald Reagan, on this national day of mourning. May God be with you always Ron and may the comfort of a great nation ease the pain and suffering of those you left behind.

Ok, you've had a regular post from me today, now for something a bit more fun! It's time for the meme of the day!

Week 4 - Do You Believe in Magic?
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is now pulling all kinds of young witches and wizards away from their Playstations and into movie theatres all across the country.

That got us Muggles to thinking...wouldn't it have been cool to be able to point your wand at the bully that pushed you around on the playground, say "EXPELLIARMUS!", and watch them fly back against the wall?

1) Which magical power would you like to have (in order to further the cause of good for mankind, of course)? Which magical power would you like to have that you would keep hidden, guiltily, cackling about it under your sheets at night?

To further the good of mankind, I'd like to have the ability to see into peoples minds. That way I'd know which people were lying etc...and I'd be able to protect those I loved from harm

As for that guilty power..I'd like to be able to shapeshift...not to be confused with turning into an animal...but to turn into mists etc. Oh the fun I would have.

~evil grins~

2) If you had a flying broomstick, would you use it? Where would you go?
Hell yeah I'd use my broomstick. Hopefully flying broomsticks aren't powered by gasoline. If they aren't I'm going everywhere on my broomstick. Woot!

3) If you could briefly turn yourself into an animal, what would it be?
A cat. I'd want to be someone's familar, or just a house cat, cos damn they have an easy life! Eat, sleep, pooh....eat, sleep, pooh!

Bonus) Do you believe in magic?
Of course I do. There's a little bit of magic in everything. You just have to find it!

The Random Musings Of Moi

The Random Musings Of Moi

A lot of weird stuff has been on my mind lately. This is just a glimpse at it.

~ My boss informed me that I was working on a parttime basis yesterday when I asked him about holiday pay. That was nice to know. I'm just wondering if this is a permenant part time thing..or if it's only going last for a bit and then go back to fulltime. If it doesn't, this girl needs to find a new job, or the money fairy needs to visit.

~ Less than a week to the Moody Blues shows and the weight I lost last week has come and gone twice! Maybe I should just not eat? Maybe i was meant to be fat? ~sniffle~ I remember fondly wearing size 2s and 4s not too long ago.

~ The Reagan funeral has been really upsetting to me and I haven't a clue why. So much of the downfall of my area came about when he was in office, but he did so much good too. I don't know, it's heartbreaking.

~ I'm having a hard time writing lately. The words refuse to come. I guess this is what happens when you are constantly writing for over a year. Eventually something had to give.

~ I got my copy of the Van Helsing score for free yesterday. Woot for linkage...and woot for a pretty darn awesome film score...not to mention a pretty darn awesome film.

Mmmmm Dracula.

~ Back to the work situation..my parttime job has been so cushy, I wonder if I'll ever be able to do real work. (insert sigh here)

~ Thanks to the pedometer I track how much I walk over the course of my day. Yesterday I clocked in at slightly over 9 miles. No wonder my leggies hurt.

~ Been thinking a lot about this man



Why can't there be more of them out there that look like that?

Wednesday Mind Hump

Wednesday Mind Hump

Oh god, it's mind hump time again! Can you believe it? No? I didn't think so. Well here goes..

In honor of Ice Cream day which commemorates the day in 1786 that ice cream was first sold in the United states let's start with a cool warm up. Using the letters of your favorite Ice cream reveal some quirky things about yourself.

OK, this is a problem. I don't really have a favorite ice cream. I'm not a big ice cream fanatic either. I know, totally unAmerican. I'm sorry.

In one week I'll be in Pittsburgh instead of Mind Humping
Cos I'll be going to see the Moody Blues
Early early early! Must get there early.

Cos I'd like to hear sound check and see them come in for the show!
Really excited about this
Ecstatic actually
Am I going to do something nutty? You bet I am
Moody Blues....here I come!



Now that we're warmed up let's get humpin and have a total meltdown!

This week ... a getting to know you hump!

01. You are a source of light. What are you and why?
I would be the little glow light on the bum of the lightning bug! I help light up the night sky in the summer! (Mind you once the female lightning bug comes around...bye bye male lightning bug..cos your going to have one blissful night of passion and then she's going to eat ya!)

02. There's a huge neon sign above your head everywhere you go ... what is it flashing?I'm fairly certain it says loser.





Yup, I was right.

03. If you could be anyone's blog, whose would you be and why? (Provide a link to that blog)
You know what? I wouldn't be anyone else's blog. Why? Because then I wouldn't be me. I wouldn't have the same tastes or ideas or talents or rants. So nope! Sorry! If I'm going to be a blog..The Diary of the Music Whore is who I'll be. I'm more than just a pretty template!

04. If you could have a vanity phone number, what would it be and what would it spell?Uh, this hump is trying to kill me I think! I'm staring at the digit on the phone and my creativity is shot. I can't think of a darn thing, probably because it's nothing I'd ever think of or want.

05. Look around you .... name two odd things in your vicinity and explain why they are there.
There's a Koosh (sp) on the floor, it's there cos I'm too lazy to pick it up and my cat Misty is on the floor as well, because she put herself there. (You don't get much odder than my Misty Kitty)

There now I humped, and boy am I tired...Now go vote for the outfits I should wear to the Moody Blues concerts next week.

Moody Outfits

Moody Outfits

Ok, let the voting begin. I have 4 outfits so far for the 2 shows. I may add another over the weekend, cos I just got an email coupon from Dots today!

The Pittsburgh concert is outdoors so I can be a bit more casual. The Atlantic City show is in a Casino Theater so I want to be a bit spiffier than usual. I will of course have extra outfits for the weekend, because I'm staying overnight there! Woot!

Doing the boardwalk and all kinds of other fun things on Sunday.

So here goes

Picture one

Picture two

Picture three

Picture four

My eyes are wonky in all the pictures I swear! Yuck! Ignore my ugly mug in most of these and concentrate on the outfits.

Comment to leave your votes. Remember to pick 2 of the 4!

A Real Post -- About Nothing

A Real Post -- About Nothing

I hate it when my life turns into one big ball of nothing. Of course next week that will change, so I should complain too much. I just wish the things that I had wanted to happen would have.

Now that I've confused you all, I'll explain. I was really dying to get to Pittsburgh once before the concert madness starts, but that's not going to happen now. I wanted to find a vintage sixties outfit to wear to one of the shows. Alas and alack that's not to be. No money and no one that can go to Pittsburgh early on Saturday. Drat and double drat!

So I'm going to work at deciding which outfits to wear for the concerts and my mini vacation, and guess what? You are going to help. Yup, in the next day or two, I'm going to post links to pictures of me in potential concert attire. You can vote by commenting on which two you like best, cos there are two concerts.

And now that I'm thinking about it, I freaking forgot to buy the opera gloves I wanted to wear on my B-day in...erm...about 3 weeks, when I go to see 1776 at the Benedum. They probably won't have anymore now that prom season is over. Again I say, drat and double drat.

I see a problem here, there is a bit of not nothing that I should do, but I managed to do nothing instead.

Yay me!

~cough~

That isn't a good thing.

Drat!

Tuesday Iffers

Tuesday Iffers

I feel like I've been doing nothing but meme's lately. I promise a real post later, but today's Tuesday Iffers, really needs to be done. Its one of those questions that made me stop and think, it wasn't silly, it was really thought provoking.

So here goes,

Prayers of the People...

If you could ask God any one question, what would it be?

I guess my question to God would have to stem from how I was getting to talk to God. Somehow this whole thing conjures up images of a daily talk radio show, hosted by noneother than God! The show is...ASK GOD ANYTHING!

Next caller please...What would you like to ask God today?

Well, God, I want to know how you really feel about the people of various religions killing others in your name?

Recall that each religion calls God by a different name. I'm not one to say who's religion is right. That's too deeply personal. So to end this post...now that I've asked God anything...I want to leave you with some beautiful song lyrics.


Life Itself - George Harrison (from the CD Somewhere In England)

You are the one
You are my love
You send the rain and bring the sun
You stand alone and speak the truth
You are the breath of life itself, oh yes you are
You are the one

You're in my dream
I hold you there in high esteem
I need you more each step I take
You are the love in life itself, oh yes you are
You are the one

You are the one that I�d die for
And you�re all that is real
You are the essence of that which
We taste, touch and feel

You are the one
No matter what
You are the real love that I�ve got
You are my friend and when life�s through
You are the light in death itself, oh yes are
You are the one

They call you christ, vsnu, buddha, jehovah,
Our lord
You are, govindam, bismillah, creator of all

You are the one
No matter what
You are the real love that I�ve got
You are my friend and when life�s through
You are the light in death itself, oh yes are
You are the one
You are my love
You send the rain and bring the sun
You stand alone and speak the truth
You are the breath of life itself, oh yes you are
You are the breath of life itself, oh yes you are
You are the one

This is the Music Whore....reminding you to try to accept the religious beliefs of your fellow men and women, regardless of whether or not you share them. Remember, religion is a personal thing.

4. How many times a year do you rearrange your living room?

I don't rearrange deck chairs on the Titanic, it's not healthy.

During the week several hours...on the weekend not much at all except to phone friends to find out where we're going and what time, that sort of thing.

7. What is your favorite software program?

10. Name 3 blogs that you have on your 'blogroll' list. (any 3.)

Lady Starlight's The Angel Waiting to Be Sent Cos I have to read my sister's blog

Halfgeek.net -- written by Christine who was in one of my CD swaps.


The Certifiable Wenches -- My group blog.

Monday Music Mambo

Monday Music Mambo

It's that time of week again to get up and dance the Mambo, courtesy of those crazy ladies at BDI!!




So to get us warmed up, let's start out by taking the word "Music" and see if we can come up with Movie titles using those 5 letters!

Moulin Rouge
UHF (gotta love Weird Al)
Shanghai Surprise (Madonna's worst movie ever!)
Indecent Proposal
Cat's Meow (Starring Eddie Izzard)

So are you warmed up for the summer movie season? Are you warmed up for the soundtracks that go with them? Yay! Let's mambo...movie soundtrack style.


1. What movie soundtrack is your absolute favorite?
I have a few favorites, the Black Beauty score soundtrack and Edward Scissorhands are up there, simply because I love the music Danny Elfman creates. If I had to pick one soundtrack that wasn't a score soundtrack, it would have to be Pretty In Pink, all those great 80's tunes in one place. I love it.

2. What movie wouldn't be as great if it didn't have such and awesome soundtrack?
Dirty Dancing. The movie was a non-musical, but the songs that shaped that film also made it. It wasn't my favorite movie of the 80's but I loved some of the songs that came from it. Eric Carmen's Hungry Eyes and Patrick Swayze's She's Like the Wind are two that I find unforgettable, without them and I've Had The Time Of My Life, that movie wouldn't have been half the hit. The songs made that movie!

3. How many movie soundtracks to you own? (you don't have to be precise a rough estimate is fine)
Well I have over 40 Elfman film scores alone so the number has to be much higher than that. I'd probably say at least sixty or more. All well loved and well enjoyed by the music whore.

4. Have you ever bought a movie soundtrack and not seen the movie?
Plenty of times. I have Journey to the Amazing Caves, which is an Imax movie that the Moody Blues did the music for, not to mention the Elfman scores. I haven't seen half the movies he did the scores for, but the music resides in my collection.

5. If your life was going to be made into a movie, what songs would you want included on the soundtrack?

OK, I'll try to keep this brief. My theme song would be included, which is Nowhere Man.

I'd want Justin Hayward's The Way of the World to figure prominently into the film. There's something very introspective and searching about this song. I couldn't not have a Hayward song on my life soundtrack.

Elvis Costello would also have a few offerings...Just About Glad from Brutal Youth for all the stupid things I've almost done and Tart during some of the moodier parts of my life. This is one of my favorite songs from the When I Was Cruel album.

George Harrison's Crackerbox Palace would play throughout my childhood, because it's a lighthearted song and because I love George Harrison.

The Monkees would appear with I'm a Believer and Daydream Believer for the scenes of my first concert.

If you want to see the Life Soundtrack mix that I made to several very interesting questions, go here and here. Oh and the "Me" mix...which really is the soundtrack to my life is here.

Feel free to inspect my other mixes and if you like any, drop me a line, maybe we can swap mixes or something.

I'm now going to do Mambo #5 across the blog..Italiano style, of course.

Sunday Madness

Sunday Madness

I just spent the whole day cleaning. This is not something that I like to do. In fact, I hate cleaning. I also hate clutter. The problem lies with the fact I am a pack rat and hate hate hate to get rid of things.

Well today, my mom and I decided to clean out some of her clothes. Oye, was that the least bit of fun I've ever had. It took me well over 5 hours to get the room back to semi normal, and even that isn't the way I'd like it to be. Unfortunately to get it the way I want it to be I'd have to come up with a few hundred dollars for storage.

My mother has more extra blankets and clothes she refuses to part with than you could ever imagine. She's really as bad as I am. Like I'm really going to fit in those size 4s ever again.

Ha! Ha! and Ha!

My original cleaning plan was to do my room and to get rid of some of my junk, that's going to have to wait until next week. On a happy note I found some bags that will work for the weekend trip to Atlantic City, which is now two weeks away! Holy Hades!

Now to try to figure out what I'm going to take with me on the trip!

The First Four

The First Four

Here's an meme I haven't tried yet..and since it's topic seems appropriate, I'll go on with it.

What are the first four things you think of when I say:

Ronald Reagan

Oldest President of the United States
Longest living President of the United States
Win One for the Gipper!
RIP Ron - 1911-2004

I learned about his death at supper last night. I saw his picture come on the telly at Garfield's where we were eating and I knew instantly that he had died.

I'm not a republican, I don't know if I could really say how I feel about his politics as his presidency was during my grade school and junior high years, but I see him as a good man, regardless of whether or not he was a good president.

I know that he suffered from the horrible disease Alzheimer's and had suffered from it for 10 years. I hope that now he's at peace wherever he may be. I've known several people that had that illness and it's not a pretty thing. My heart goes out to his family at this time.

Again RIP -- Ronnie 40th President of the United States.

Anywhere But Here

Anywhere But Here

I think today is the perfect day to play this game again. You know, when you come up with a story of what you're life would be like, right now, if you were anywhere but here. (here in my case being Charleroi, PA)

It's a brilliant sunshiny day and I'm wandering around the lovely city of Pittsburgh, just strolling through Point State Park taking pictures of the huge beautiful fountain at the Point when I snap a picture of a very handsome blonde man. He turns when he sees the flash and I smile weekly. The most clear blue eyes are staring sadly back at me. I feel sorry for this man, and approach him, hoping he's not a psychopathic killer.

"Hello," I say brightly and hold out the camera. "I'm sorry, I took your picture. If you'd like, I can delete it."

He looks up a smile twitching on his face.

"That would be me."

He runs his hands through his short hair and looks around nervously.

"I'm sorry for bothering you," I apologise.

"No, wait!" he calls when I've started out of the park. I turn and he runs to catch up with me.

"I didn't get your name, what paper is that picture going to be in?"

I look at him in confusion. "Paper?"

"Yes, paper, or trash magazine. Who do you work for?"

Again I'm confused. "I don't work for any magazine I was just taking pictures of the fountain and I snapped one of you."

I neglect to tell him that it was because he was gorgeous.

"You don't?"

"No."

"Oh, that's good."

I give him an odd look and start off again. People are strange in the city.

"Wait, can I buy you a drink or lunch or something?"

"I don't have lunch with strange men." I snap.

"If we have a proper introduction will you join me then?"

"I suppose."

"Well then my darling lady, Richard Roxburgh at your service."

I try to keep my jaw from dropping. This is Dracula. It would do well not to let on I know him.

I introduce myself and he takes my hand and we walk out of the park together. The day couldn't be more perfect as we walk from the Point to the South Side where were dine at Paparazzi's Italian restaurant then walk the streets looking at the shops and taking pictures.

When darkness falls, I drag him back toward's Paparazzi's, but not quite there. I take him to a great little bar, the Tiki Lounge. It's dark and atmospheric and the drinks are great. After a few amaretto sours I find myself in the little cubby with him between the first floor lounge and the lower level.

Things are getting quite romantic.

I grin at him when he pulls away from a rather awe inspiring kiss.

"What?" he asks smiling back.

"Bite me, Count!" I mouth.

And he does....


Now that is my idea of a good Anywhere But Here day....and I didn't even have to go far!

~sigh~ I'd really like to have an anywhere but here day with Richard Roxburgh

Behold The Chins

Behold The Chins

Here are the reasons why I don't like having my picture taken.



In order from L-R Debby, John Lodge, The Music Whore...looking like a cat in heat... Meeooow!

Another reason



I really looked cute that night too..why does the picture not show it?



This is a hideous picture too I might add, taken a year ago outside the Improv at the Waterfront.

L-R Debby, Brad Sherwood, The Music Whore..looking like a pathetic geek.


And lastly...the only picture I kinda like



The Music Whore and Eddie Izzard!

Now you can plainly see why this girl doesn't like her picture being taken!

Damn The Papaparazzi

Damn The Paparazzi

I was discussing with my sister last night, the joys of never having to have a photo taken.

See, last night my nephew, her son, graduated from high school, meaning pictures were taken. Lucky for her the usual picture results didn't happen.

My sister and I share something in common, we both are about as photogenic as well, chopped liver. If you see either of us in person, we both only have one chin. Pop out a camera...and 2 more appear. GAH!

I noticed that this happens to John Lodge of the Moody Blues too. Only he has the ability to give his chins away! Lucky bastard! Sadly in the picture that was taken of my sister, the Lodgeyman and me, chins. He gave his extras to us!

I don't need or want any extra chinnage, Mr. Lodge. C'mon back here and get these! They belong to you!

I think it's possible that the particular photo in question was the last one taken of me. I will allow no more. Nope, you don't need to see me. I doubt ya want to anyway, but until the camera stops donating chins to me, it's not going to happen.

I will hide behind a rock, cover my face anything to stop the nonexistant extra chins from appearing. Unless of course Lodgey or J'tin are nearby, in which case, the hell with it, I shall grin like a stuck pig, and damn the chins to hell!

1) What's your favorite disaster movie of all time?
Not having watched many, I'd say Ghost Ship. It's a cheesy bad film that should have been much better, but I enjoyed it for the odd spookiness that it managed to convey. If you can't tell I like my movies to have a supernatural edge. I'm not sure if its quite the "diaster" type film we're talking about here...but wait..it was a disater at the box office, so it should count for something!

2) Do you prefer a disaster movie with tons of special effects, carnage and general mayhem (i.e. Armageddon) or would you rather see one where the focus is on the people and the event's effects on their lives (i.e. Deep Impact)?
I love good special effects. Hell, I love bad special effect. Carnage I can do without. Mmm, just thinking about the special effects in Van Helsing makes my heart beat faster. Oh wait, I was thinking about Roxula again.

3) Of all the disaster movies you've seen, which depicts the most realistic portrayal of what might happen in an actual disaster? Which was the most far-fetched?
A realistic portrayal? In a movie? Surely you jest! When you say far fetched, the spoof movies like Airplane come to mind. Oh and what about Speed and Speed 2, definitely farfetched there as well.

Bonus) Which character would you be if you were in a disaster movie - the tough hero, the corrupt businessman who profits from it all, the old lady who runs around and screams "We're doomed!!!", the kid who saves the day, the young guy who buys it in the first five minutes of the disaster, or another stock character?
I want to be the young and beautiful woman who is seduced by the corrupt businessman, played by Richard Roxburgh, who turns him around, so in just this one film, he doesn't have to die!

Wednesday Mind Hump

Wednesday Mind Hump

Ok, It's Mind Hump Time.

Cos you know I have to do one meme a day to go along with my own insane posting!

Today is also National Rocky Road Day. As a warm up, using the letters R-O-C-K-Y-R-O-A-D reveal some interesting facts about you.

Really can't wait til June 16
Only 14 more days
Cos I'm really excited about that day
Kirsten might not like it if I kidnap her husband
You know, John Lodge..he's her husband

Right now I'm feeling calm
Only 14 more days!!!!!
Am I making myself clear?
Does anyone want to guess what's happening on June 16th?

Okay, now that we're all warmed up let's move on to a little Mind Humping fun with "I say ___, you think ___." In response to the following list of words enter the first words, phrase, idea or thought that comes into your ever humpin' mind. Ready? Put on your humping caps.

01. bright: eyes, burning like fire, bright eyes, how can you close and fade
02. twister: a fun game to play nekkid and with Justin Hayward.
03. marshmallow sauce tastes good on nekkid Haywards and Roxburghs
04. bud - wei-ser
05. master: mind, some evil plan
06. blink: and you've missed it. Charleroi, that is. (My home town)
07. sauve: Cheap haircare products
08. bikini: Something you'll never see me wear.
09. dash: to the car, cos it's raining
10. elementary: my dear Watson

Now that was fun. I know you want to hump with me...

Milestones Everywhere

Milestones Everywhere

Well besides a thirith birthday coming up in 30 days, there are a few other, happier things for me to dwell on, coming up much sooner.

1. The Vampire Story -- Not My Slave is now 200 pages long, but still nowhere near finished.

(BTW has any of you finished reading Broken Dreams? I'd love feedback even if it is to say you thought it sucked)

2. 14 days til the first Moody Blues show. I'm a mixture of happy and nervous about the whole thing.

3. Mini vacation coming up as well. Woot for Atlantic City.

4. The black one piece bathing suit fits.

(why do I not have curves? None whatsoever!)

5. On my birthday, I'm going to see 1776 with Malcolm Gets in the lead role.

(for those of you looking at this entry going Malcolm Gets? He's the cute little blonde dude who played Richard on Caroline in the city)

So this is going to be an all around exciting month, shy of the fact the Fleetwood Mac show got cancelled. Someone in the band is sick, but the site isn't saying who or what's wrong. I hope to hell it's not my Lindsey. I love my Lindsey and they've cancelled shows since last week, some not being rescheduled.

~sigh~

Maybe next time. I was excited about being 8th row for that lovely concert, but hey, more money to spend in Atlantic City!

Tuesday Iffers

Remember how I played this meme, last week? Remember how I kept you in suspense about which song was my theme song?

The answer in my eyes - Nowhere Man - The Beatles

Here's this week's Part 2 to that question


If the theme song you picked were to play, in full, every time you entered a room would you still pick the same song? If not, what would you pick?

Well, it would have to be someone changing the words to the song, but the general idea of the tune is still appropriate. At least in my eyes.

For those of you not familiar with the song...Here are the lyrics

Nowhere Man

He's a real nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.

Doesn't kave a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, please listen,
You don't know what you're missing,
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command.

He's as blind as he can be,
Just sees what he wants to see,
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
Doesn't kave a point of view,
Knows not where he's going to,
Isn't he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere Man, don't worry,
Take your time, don't hurry,
Leave it all till somebody else
lends you a hand.

He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
For nobody.

Isn't she...a bit like you and me....I think so...

It's A Bright June Afternoon

It's A Bright June Afternoon

Well actually, it isn't. It's about 7:30 in the morning when I'm typing this, so I'm an outrageous liar.

The title in question comes from a Roxette song, titled, June Afternoon. There are some songs that just scream to be played at certain times. Tuesday Afternoon. Hey wait..It's Tuesday and June...Oh the hee haw hilarity that's going to ensue today!

It's a bright, Tuesday afternoon....

Only it's only 7:30.

Yeah, I'm starting early.

Ok...I'm hoping the start of the new month and the start of a day will make the weekend go buh byes. Cos I'm pondering how the 5 pounds that went buh byes last week came back over night.

Now I'm not delusional, at least not this time. I've been watching on 2 scales, just in case one is teasing me, and they both shot up. I went out to eat one freaking day! I realize that it's only water weight, but it's going to take me another 2 weeks to get rid of that.

My pedometer went funny on the last walk I was on and didn't register half of the distance I walked.

~Grumbles~

Yeah, so aside from seeing "The" movie again this weekend, it ended on a rather depressing note. I was so excited that things were shifting downward at last. I'm now going to starve myself for the rest of the week.

If only I had health insurance, I'd be able to find out if there was something wrong, that's causing this. But nope don't have that, and don't have the money to see the doctor and get tests done. (which I wouldn't enjoy much anyway)

If you need me, I'll be under my rock singing Tuesday June Afternoon or some variation of those two songs.
