MY TURN!!! 🙂

Alright. I was telling Kris the other night (in the midst of playing with my dictation device…ew that sounds dirty) that I have a hard time blogging lately because I don’t feel I have anything interesting to say and that in general I am just an extremely boring person. But after some thought on this, I’ve decided, well it’s not like all of you are THAT much more interesting, yet you still find ways to keep me reading. So I shall try my hand at this again.

Although…I was eager to hear more about our Mr. Boorish Morton and his ingenius plan. Some who know me well have heard of my tactics where I use double or triple shot mochas as a chaser to many things. 🙂

Anywho… Kris! I forgot to bring your bag into work. I was going to leave it on my couch for you, but Scott kept putting it in my room. So your bag is in my bedroom. Use your key. Scott usually comes home from work around 5:30pm so go over anytime before then. Just in case he’s there you can try knocking first, but just let yourself in when he doesn’t answer. I’ll let him know you might be doing that. Max! Your scrapbook from work is sitting on my printer on my desk. You do not have a key so you’ll have to arrange with Scott. I’ll let him know. For all of you wondering why some people have keys and others don’t…well honestly, Scott and I went through this wave of passing our key out to anyone who had space on their key chain, all willy nilly and shit. But then we thought, “we’re not that important that all these people want our key.” So we stopped. No, really, I’m not sure about the rhyme and reason of the key extravaganza. Some people like Tonja and Kris are great with the key because it really does come in handy for situations exactly like this, but the entire time I dated Jeff I couldn’t get him to carry it on his keychain which led to many many many complicated times. As a matter of fact, I think the key is still sitting on top of their fridge, useless. If you’re ever over there Max, feel free to take it.

So now that I’ve told everyone in the world where a key to my house is 🙂 let’s move on.

Why has it taken me so long to get into Sleater-Kinney? I just heard the O2 song again and really dig them. There is no reason for me to have been so late in the game on them. Kris and Johnny have always been fans and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve driven by the exit sign for Sleater-Kinney Road which should have aroused my curiosity at least. So Kris, I would have you just burn me a copy, but I am a strong pusher for buying albums of artists I respect and want to support. Same reason I won’t just burn a copy of the new “Be Good Tanyas” album. I’m not completely loyal to this idea, but I’m trying.

I also just heard a song at the end of a Six Feet Under episode called “Come and Find Me” by Josh Ritter. Really liked it, but don’t know anything else about this guy. Anyone? Anyone?

Multimedia Day

“Hem: rabbit songs” is not as much like “Voices on the Verge” as I thought. It’s a little less interesting. It’s a nice background, soft sound, but not extremely noticeable.

Watched the Superbowl today with Brenda and Erin. Wish I could’ve put money down because I would have made bank. Can you believe the number of interceptions? My god! That’s gotta hurt. A little dissappointed in the commercials though. Not clever enough. We did win a Coors Light T-shirt as a door prize at the hotel bar. But I think that’s just because we were the ONLY people in the bar. Crazy.

Watched a bit of Fear Factor as well. I would love to go on this show if it weren’t for the eating and the bugs. I can handle heights, stunts, water, etc. But I could never eat silkworm or pig intestines without throwing up, or sit in a coffin filled with angry scorpions. Snakes, worms, rodents, I could handle hanging with. But bugs and spiders….eeeee…willies.

Totally unrelated thought, but man, I could really go for some Maguro right now. Maybe a little Miso soup and California roll. Mmmm….

Music and Great Company

Bought two new albums today:
“Africans in America: America’s Journey Through Slavery” which is an amazing audio accompaniment to the PBS special. The music is compiled by Bernice Johnson Reagon and her daughter Toshi Reagon. Pretty amazing. Check it out.
“Hem: rabbit songs” which reminds me a bit of “Voices on the Verge,” which I am uncontrollably addicted to.

Went to Goldy’s today and ate the scrumptious breakfast I had dreamed about all week. Here’s a picture of Brenda and me at the restaurant. Only Erin, Brenda, and I know what’s in the camera case. 🙂

what you got there, girly?
