I'm in the same boat. I have about a dozen books I haven't read yet (and 20 more I haven't coloured in

).

Similarly I have a number of DVD box sets (The Simpsons series 6 to 9 for example) that I haven't gotten around to watching.

I went to the pub last night to watch the England match and drank far too much for a school night. My head hurts.

Poor Verbs. They won, right? Way to take one (or ten) for the team!

Our school had a loud recorded buzz they used in the library so as to block out disturbing sounds. It was very effective. Next time I visit my noisy local library I want one in my music player

that sounds like torture! the buzz from fluorescent lights gets on my nerves.

They have libraries in Australia?

It was a low warm buzz that you could feel in the pit of your ribcage, kind of like a guitar amplifier. Bzzzzzzzzz... felt good and ate up the sounds from a few metres away, through the PA system I think.

Why, so you could raid the Mills & Boon section?

I seem to have lost my rhino Goodbye Cruel World.

I am only missing that NL/EC duet.

the name of which I can't recall.

That would be 'Baby It's You.'

Weekday television sucks.

They're making a memorial park right up the street for the folks who died in the flood in '96. They were nice, and gave out a lot of candy. I just hope they don't put a playground up there. Just a few benches would suffice.

And what is it about this weather that is so depressing?

if anybody was thinking about getting me a present, this would work fine.

I would look sooooo cool in this. All the other soccer moms would be chewing off their own thumbs in jealousy.

Is it environmentally friendly?

To karaoke or not to karaoke at my 25th high school reunion next month - that is the question. . . . .

Depends on how drunk you get. The drunker the better in my experience.

I suppose the fact that I don't live in the city where I grew up and won't see these people anymore will make it easier to go through with it. And being drunk would make it even easier.

Don't forget, we have things like YouTube...

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Wed Sep 19, 2007 10:35 am

There's much worse stuff on YouTube than anything I can do.

I think.

I'm going to write down everything I listen to for a week, song by song. I thought it would be interesting to see if any trends develop. My friends are just like 'Why?' It might get a little difficult on the weekend, when my headphones are more less strapped to my head.

We always have Indian Summers here in PA.

And definitely karaoke. There's never a wrong time for karaoke, in my opinion.....

Felt extremely retro-dork pantomiming performance along to Squeeze last night. But those are the moments that make life worth living, surely.

Squeeze is good stuff. You can't feel bad about that.

The answer to that question is "not to karaoke". Isn't merely showing up at a high school reunion sufficiently embarrassing?

it's still high school, after all. even after 25 freakin' years.

*gasp* I'd never feel bad about Squeeze. I revel in my dorkiness. I put on a whole show, providing that no-one else is around. Fake microphone and all......

To homework!

What a fucking day.

Jesus I've been put through the emotional wringer.

mood swung · Post by **mood swung** » Wed Sep 19, 2007 6:30 pm

well, {{{hugs}}} for you, then.

after all, tomorrow is another day.

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Wed Sep 19, 2007 6:59 pm

Emotional wringers are rough, WSS. Group hug. Hope you feel better.

On a lighter note, burning a bag of popcorn in the microwave really stinks up a house.

Stinks bad, and for days, too. But not as bad as a weeks-old cantaloupe stinks up a car.

Yesterday was Talk Like A Pirate Day and I missed it.

Post by **spooky girlfriend** » Thu Sep 20, 2007 8:25 am

Doc didn't. But don't be sorry you missed him doing that.

I'm a bit nervous this morning. In a first, I've got to make a presentation to the CEO of my company (whom I've never met) in a couple of hours. The presentation will be held in the corporate boardroom, where the stockholders usually meet to determine the future of the business (I work for a Fortune 100 apparel company.)

How did it ever get to this?????
