tricks or treats

It's been a very halloweeny weekend. We went to see The Nightmare Before Xmas in 3-D yesternoon. very cool.

tonight i have a date with The Great Pumpkin and Linus.

don't question it

just take my word for it.

the most delicious snack in the world
is beckman's 9 grain sourdough bread (from santa cruz) with i can't believe it's not butter light, microwaved for 10 seconds, and then sprinkled with generic parmesan cheese.

even better than chocolate chip cookies.

2nd snow of the year already. 6 inches. Wahhh.
Whenever I am scraping the ice off my car and my fingertips are freezing in the mornings, I think about the time Kate was here and she thought ice scraping was so much fun. And then there are the challenges of your car door freezing shut too. It would be nice if that counted as an excuse to miss a day of work - but usually I just have to pry the trunk open and crawl in over the back seats. Fun, Kate, really fun.

well, it's a good time for snuggling up in my cubicle with hot chocolate, a spicy breakfast burrito and my Uggs. and it seems to be a good day for countryish blues or bluesish country - Lucinda Williams, Antigone Rising, Emmylou Harris, Sheryl Crow, Cowboy Junkies...

although they can't talk, dogs have a different way of communicating...

this morning when I was walking Derby, some guido-looking guy with an open-chested shirt and gold chain walks by us and says "Hey, Marmaduke" and laughs. And right as I was thinking "For the last time, why do dumb guys always call Derby Marmaduke, he's not a Great Dane..." I turned around to call Derby but he was busy squatting & shatting on the guy's lawn.

mashuptown

if you haven't checked it out already, mashuptown (linked on the right of this blog) will change your life. dj's these days keep challenging each other with the craziest creativity. i mean, we're talking aretha franklin mixed with metallica.

my favorites so far this year...

bootystition
screaming epro
lullaby in your eyes
feel good inc. never there (i can't find the link to this one)
crash song 2
been caught stealing your rump
michael feels like green onions

Ta-Dah!

Thanks to Scissor Sisters, pop is back! Not 13 year-old Disney pop. I mean unabashedly fun pop, worthy of a roller skating rink, and some of the weirdest I've heard, right up there since Queen or the B-52's. These kids can make ANYONE laugh no matter how bad a mood you're in. And that's exactly where they're going in my ipod... on the Good Mood Mix.

random thoughts

which Barbapapa are you?

I'm Barbalala, of course.

Lingering Odors

In honor of chris' birthday today, I present the following...

get out the Uggs

ughhh, the leaves aren't even completely fallen yet, and the weather guy just said 6 - 12 inches of snow are due to fall tomorrow.

song in my head (seriously came on my ipod earlier):
urge for goin' by joni mitchell

I woke today and found the frost perched on the town,
It hovered in a frozen sky, then it gobbled summer down,
When the sun turns traitor cold and all the trees are shiverin' in a naked row, I get the urge for goin' but i never seem to go.
I get for the urge for goin' when meadow grass is turning brown,
summer time is falling down, and winter's closing in...

this hardcore ghetto ganster image takes a lot of practice

so, I'm starting a new blog...
why? because i hate MySpace. so i'm stickin' it to 'em.

if nothing else, it will prevent me from the detrimental habit of bugging my friends with daily email rants about how they absolutely must download such & such song right now. i can post it all on my blog instead! whoahahahaha.

other than that, i have nothing especially imporant or funny to say right now.

song I have in my head today:
fire water burn - bloodhound gang
