Go Go!

LuxuriaMusic is a great online radio station. They describe their music like this:

LuxuriaMusic: Internet Radio – Outré lounge and Latin jazz, breezy swinging instrumentals and vocals, groovy 60’s go-go and 70’s Bollywood soundtracks, psychedelia, quirky oddities, retro pop and surf music. The perfect soundtrack for your sophisticated lifestyle, whether you’re relaxing at home or trapped inside an office cube.

THE DISHWASHER IS IN!

My father came this afternoon and installed the dishwasher. It’s so beautiful! Bobo isn’t so happy with it because we used the box to reinforce the kiddie gate so he can’t climb up it.

Tonight Lisa and I are joining Mom and Dad for PIZZA!!!! I can hardly wait!

Donna’s breast or thigh?

I’ve drank a wee bit too much wine. I am feeling very nice. This evening I took Bobo for a walk. I met a nice Russian woman. We spoke for a good half hour. As soon as we parted ways, Adelle came out of her house to see Bobo. We met her just the other day. She lives a few doors down and thinks Bobo is just darling. Next thing I know, we are engaged in conversation. I was about to take off home when she invited me into her house. I’ve been wanting to see what a middle unit looks like so I couldn’t resist following her. She showed me her collections of Limoges and figurines. Her husband came in and they both begged me to stay for supper. I said no. Sure I had leftover chicken in the refridgerator but also because I kept thinking of that Tales From the Darkside episode in which the old married couple invite the hiker into their home only to cook her in a big vat AND THEN EAT HER! I look much more tender than I really am, I am sure. They would need toothpicks to get me out of their teeth. Bobo and I came home. I drank wine and together we watched a La Femme Nikita episode. Holy sh*t, life is good to me. (I have been a Rover, I have walked alone. Over many highway…)

Sleeping with a dog

Lisa appeared in my room at 4:30 this morning. She was holding Bobo.
“I’m leaving for Mom and Dad’s. Please take Bobo, he’s not used to sleeping by himself in the mornings.”
I made some unintelligible noise and Lisa plopped the dog on my bed. When my alarm finally went off, I looked down and little Bobo just kept on sleeping soundly. He is the cutest thing in the entire world. I felt bad having to wake him up.

I WON!

I actually won an eBay auction! It helps when there are no other bidders. Now in my vinyl collection I can add the album, Revelation Revolution ’69 by the Lovin’ Spoonful featuring Joe Butler. This is the album they released after John Sebastian left the group. I am hoping this means there are a ton of Joe Butler songs!

I am alone

Lisa went to watch House at home with mom. I stayed behind. It’s been the first time I have been truly alone since… well, I guess since I was last in Chicago. This afternoon Lisa told me that when I drive her crazy, in her head she sings the song, “I will Follow Him” but with different lyics. Her’s go like this:

I love her, I love her, I love her
When will she go back to
Chicago Chicago Chicago?

Tomorrow Lisa, Dad and Lanke are going to Washington DC. I will stay home and bring home the bacon.

I didn’t try the self-hypnosis today. Nor did I do my laundry. I did put away some clothes. PROGRESS! I am still formulating my suggestions for the self-hypnosis. I am thinking I need to broach my messiness and my negativity towards men first.

Follow the pendulum

On Sunday I had dinner with my parents. As my mom and I were preparing the food, the doorbell rang. I opened the door. A man was standing there.
“Is your mom or dad home?” he asked.
I couldn’t help but smile. I haven’t heard that in years! He then said, “I know your parents…” Darn it! For a second there I felt like a teenager.

The dishwasher was delivered today. My dad is going to install it for us. I can hardly wait to have a dishwasher that actually works! Our last dishwasher was such a pain in the butt. It rarely washed anything and so we would wash the dishes before we loaded them in.

I’ve been getting a ton of event notification emails from SpeedDating, 8-Minute Dating, Pre-Dating, etc… I want to sign up except I am just so tired of spending money. Yesterday, eHarmony actually sent me a match that seems like a winner. In order for me to accept his request for communication, I have to re-register. I don’t know if I am ready to do that just yet. The weather is getting warmer and I am going to have to start warming up as well. My attitude/outlook needs a readjustment. I am thinking self-hypnosis might be the way to go.

Firefox

I am really wondering what the big deal is about Firefox. I’ve been using it for a couple days now and I am just not sold on it. My formatting buttons in MT are missing and when I want to find something, I must ctrl-f and retype my search. In IE, my google toolbar remembers my search and highlights the words on the page. Perhaps with further use I will find some unique functionality… and if I don’t, I’m going back to IE.
