Secondary Space

I've been granted blog space overy at www.isamonkey.org/sillylibra, complete with comments. Lenka tried to hook me up with code for it here, but um...yeah. I can't even get the ones on her page to work for me, so I doubt I'll be able to get my own working. :) Lenka out-dorked me! Well how's this -- do YOU have the first 4 seasons of Babylon 5 on DVD yet? I don't believe I put that in print. I can just hear all the girls running away. Might as well make it worse: I don't like Ani DiFranco. Last nail in the coffin right there, my friends. And even though I'm wearing a Tori Amos shirt right now, I have no great love for her either (minus iieee, January, and a couple of others...oh, Past the Mission. Aw, damn. That's three already and I was only thinking for 5 seconds.). More: I saw Melissa Ferrick twice but only liked her the second time. I am reading Frank Herbert and loving it. I used to play Magic: The Gathering and still have the cards, minus the many I suspect my cousins stole from me. I watched all of LEXX, but only for Xenia Seeberg. I don't really like Angelina Jolie. Is that enough? Cool. "American woman, stay away from mee-hee!"

I just bowled a rocking series for my work league: 81, 90, 161. WTF?? My avg is a 120, mind you.

And now for a shower and more self-deprecation. ;)

The Twain Have Met

My friend Chris and I finally like the same band. We both like chick rock, but I require that they be able to play their instruments (sorry, dude), so that leaves a lot of them out in the cold as far as I'm concerned (anyone see the Donnas on SNL - oh, the horrors). But now we both like the Guano Apes. Well, yeah, because they rock. Not really chick rock (only singer Sandra Nasic is female), they're hard without being non-melodic, thrashing w/o screaming like death rock, but then also sonic and spacey in parts...just tasty. I'm still having issues with their name though. I mean...come on. I'm getting to the point where I have to almost roll my eyes along with my answer when someone asks what I listen to, because I have to say "Guano Apes," Amon Düül II," "Hawkwind," or something similar. Even "Kate Bush" is sorta funny. ;)

Got the "Lawfully" episode of the L Word last night. Where's my Marina?

I just got called out for dancing in my chair at my desk. I'm "such a white girl," apparently, and Steve expects to "hear that song next week on Smallville." For the record, it was "Quietly," by the GA. I still have fond memories of the day I was really rocking out and looked up to see EVERYONE staring at me. Good times.

And now for reviewing and sending files.

yay weekend

So you can tell by the time stamp on this post that I've been up for hours and hours playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. I don't have a lightsaber yet. So glad for the weekend hours, so I can do pointless things like play this game. I have a couple of good books that I'm going to read tomorrow. Mustn't let the entire weekend go to waste. It's wonderful, though, to feel really really tired like this and be able to go to bed knowing that you can sleep as long as you want in the morning. And my bed is really the best bed ever w/o being a waterbed.

Tomorrow I fully expect the cats to lie on me all morning, making it impossible for me to read. They just look so comfortable sleeping that I have to take naps too. Plus they're pinning me down and I hate to have to move them when they're being all cute and fuzzy. I am indolent and enjoy sleeping. Sue me.

Jenna and I went on a chocolate run to the local Mobil station tonight. The Cadbury mini eggs are out again. I won't go into what else we got, except to say that the M&Ms promotion to find the colors baffles me. Is that their way of hiding the fact that they ran out of food coloring, or what? Black & white M&Ms?? Whatever.

And now for sleep.

Hahahahahaha...spell check wanted to replace Cadbury with cadaver. Ew.

So There!

This is why my cat Simon is cool: I can point to a bug and he will eat it. Today's taste treat was a really leggy spider in the bathroom. There's still one leg stuck to the floor as proof of the spider's former state of being, but it's sort of crumpled and I'd have to point it out to you. In my other apartment he found something especially nasty that had so many legs that it looked like a clump of hay. Yes, he ate it. Please do not draw any conclusions about my housekeeping skills from the fact that I have had these gross bugs visit or that I didn't bother to wipe up the spider leg.

I hope he finds whatever bit me in my sleep. And dammit, shut UP about the housekeeping.

/DROOL MODE ON/ On a different note, I woke up early (!!) today just to watch the L Word. Finally, hot lesbians. I tend to want to call the show "Straight Girls Kissing," but as Jenna pointed out, "at least they're straight girls who aren't afraid to kiss other girls." Good point.

Found a magazine in Borders today with a long-lost Kate Bush interview from the late 80s, complete with probably the most delicious picture of her that I've seen. Please, someone, get me one of those for Christmas. /DROOL MODE OFF/

And a special thanks to the girls of Middlebury College who almost made me rethink the whole gay thing. Were 18-21 y/o girls that fucking annoying when I was that age? And that's not to say that I'd be straight if not gay. I'm just going to be a equal opportunity disliker (EOD) for a while. Women mentioned in drool mode are exempt from my EOD mood, as they are unattainable anyway, but at least they seem to have grown up into people in whom I might be able to take an interest at some point EVER. "Kooky"-dressing, fuzzy-hat-indoors-wearing, hippy-wannabe-trust-fund-brats be gone!

And now for sleep.

Now Playing

Recent discovery: The Guano Apes. Ok, I don't know what's up with their name, but all I can say in their defense is that they're German, and it's possible that they got popular before they had a change to change their name (I heard that about the Gin Blossoms, for instance). I'll be making a CD for my car soon, and it will temporarily kick out Amon Düül II. At least I'm keeping with the German theme. And the "what-the-Hell-are-you-listening-to" theme. Big surprise there. No, I don't do it just to be different.

I've almost gotten up to H$11 million on the Hollywood Stock Exchange (www.hsx.com).

Most of these entries will probably be called "Now Playing." However, in this case it's doubly accurate because I talked about hsx too.

Also playing - Hungarian band ColorStar (www.colorstar.org).

And now for dinner!
