I decided to spend 25 cents on 24 hours of LuxiuriaMusic. It makes me happy.

Also– Coffeemate is nondairy!!!! I just poured myself a cuppa coffee and as I scooped the white powder into my Celebrate Today coffee mug I got scared…. dairy = adult acne, coffeemate = dairy, coffeemate = adult acne? But then I looked at the tin and I realized that the ingredients are just chemicals and preservatives! What a relief! No natural stuff in there to cause adult acne!

INGREDIENTS: CORN SYRUP SOLIDS, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED CANOLA OIL, DIPOTASSIUM PHOSPHATE, SODIUM CASEINATE**, TITANIUM DIOXIDE, MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES, SODIUM ALUMINOSILICATE, SUGAR, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, ANNATTO COLOR.
** Not a source of lactose.

I feel groggy. This morning I took Bobo for his morning walk, pee, and tiny dump. Lisa asked me to help her with the garbage. I collected it from the rooms and put it in a trash bag. Everyone’s garbage was out so we didn’t miss the pickup! I drank a glass of grapefruit juice and ate a banana for breakfast. I am trying to get away from cottage cheese because I read an article that blames adult acne on dairy products. Unfotunately, I have three containers of cottage cheese in my fridge and I hate to see them go to waste. Can cottage cheese go bad? I mean it’s already bad. Maybe I can make a poor man’s lasagna and use it all up.

I think if I could be anywhere right now I would like to be by the shore but I would rather the weather be more autumn than summer. Lisa and I had such a nice trip to Cape May last year in October. Gosh, I need a vacation break.

Judy, my neighbor from across the street, called this evening and offered me her 27 inch TV!!! She and Joe bought a flat screen and they wanted to get rid of their old TV. It’s perfectly fine and only a year old. How cool is that?!

Lisa and I have been at each other’s throats the last few days and I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I am home all the time and familiarity is breeding contempt. I hate not getting along and I know I am pissing her off, I just don’t know what it is that I am doing. Of course, I can tell you in absolute detail what she does to tick me off. I won’t though. Next week I am in Chicago, Monday through Friday. Maybe that’s the time off we both need.

Check out this Russian Web site. They have full length music videos from the 80’s! They have Falco singing Rock me Amadeus and my favorite, Jeannie!

Jeannie, komm, come on, steh auf, bitte, du wirst ganz naß.
Schön spät, komm, wir müssen weg hier, raus aus dem Wald, verstehst du nicht?
Wo ist dein Schuh, du hast ihn verloren, als ich dir den Weg zeigen mußte.
Wer hat verloren? Du dich, ich mich, oder, oder wir uns?

Es ist kalt, wir müssen weg von hier, komm! Dein Lippenstift ist verwischt.
Du hast ihn gekauft und ich habe es gesehen. Zuviel Rot auf deinen Lippen.
Du hast gesagt : Mach mich nicht an!

Aber du warst durchschaut, Augen sagen mehr als Worte.
Du brauchtest mich doch, mmm? Alle wissen, daß wir zusammen sind ab heute.
Jetzt höre ich sie, [This is my favorite part!] sie kommen, sie kommen, dich zu holen!
Sie werden dich nicht finden, niemand wird dich finden! Du bist bei mir!

They also have Suzi Quatro & Chris Norman singing Stumblin’ In. And John, they have KRAFTWERK!!! Sie ist ein Modell und sie sieht gut aus… Sie trinkt im Nachtklub immer Sekt (korrekt), Und hat hier alle Männer abgecheckt

Steve has my glasses. He said it will take a couple of days because the arm sheared off and he has to order a new pair of glasses. At least I can wear my old frames in the meantime.

Today I really have to go to the eyeglass place where I bought my eyeglasses!

Last night I ate INDIAN FOOD! It was delish! The restaurant is new and located in Langhorne. It’s huge but there were only maybe four tables filled with people. I think the other restaurant that I go to on Street Road is maybe a little bit better; however, this one is much closer to where I live. Guess which one I will go to more often now? Back at home, John Beck and I did Go Go Robics! John is a natural at Go Go. I struggle doing the Watusi but he was able to immediately grasp the twist-like nature of that move. After Go Go Robics we watched Beach Party & Bikini Beach. The plan had been to play Scene-it but Lisa didn’t want to play. I’ve never played Scene-it before so I didn’t feel any loss having missed out. There’s always next time. Besides, I am in no hurry. I can whomp their butts later. My vast knowledge of everything film isn’t going anywhere.

Must get my glasses fixed!

This afternoon I must go to the place where I bought my glasses. Yup, my glasses broke last night! I was washing them and the arm fell off! Thank goodness I got new lenses in my old glasses so I am not completely blind. I hope Steve can fix them easily and quickly.

I think I need a vacation.

I really need to clean my bedroom. And do my expenses.

Last night Lisa and I went to Super Marshalls. Lisa bought a ton of pretty things. I, on the other hand, spent most of the time pacing outside the store on my cell phone. Damn Pacific Time Zone conference calls! As Lisa was checking out, I found a pair of white pants that had a black stripe going down the outside leg. It looked like something Mrs Emma Peel would wear. I may find myself back there this evening.

Reading Dear Abby yesterday, I wondered if she contacts the letter writers with her response shortly after receiving the letter or must the person wait until the column is printed to get Abby’s response? The column I read, the writer seemed to require an immediate answer. Back when Ann died, I remember her column kept running for months after her death. Those columns were just stockpiled. It must be terribly painful waiting to hear back from Abby especially if the issue is time sensitive. Of course, one would think that by now people would already know how Abby will respond. A. Go to counseling and if your husband/wife/etc won’t go with you, go without them B. Open you mouth and tell him/her/them what is bugging you.

Mr John Beck has posted pictures of some of the fun that was had over the past few days.

Last night I was partying, today I went to a viewing. The father of an old school chum died and my mother and I went to pay our respects. It was nice seeing everyone, I just wish it could have been a shower or wedding that brought us together.

I didn’t visit Violet this weekend. It’s been two weeks. She lives all alone and she enjoys it when I visit. And I enjoy visiting her– I just have a hard time making myself walk across the yard to her house. What is wrong with me?

I propped my computer up so it is not sitting flat on my desk and it has completely stopped the spontaneous shut down. I wonder if I should still take it to the service center?

I’m awake!! It’s not like we stayed at that Goth club until 2am. We left at 1. Besides, The Elvis and Friends show is on WOGL 98.1 and we all have priorities!

John Beck’s party was great fun. I was a bit hesitant in the hours leading up to the party because I really don’t know any of John Beck’s friends and I didn’t know what the party would be like… And let me tell you, when Lisa and I walked in, the room got quiet and everyone stared at us with expressions on their faces that read: Who the heck are you two?” I couldn’t see John Beck anywhere and I thought about turning around and running out of the house but John’s sister came over and she made us feel welcomed. John eventually came out (wearing a Pee-wee Herman t-shirt) and the next thing I know, Lisa and I are part of the party. And to think I wanted to run away.

Later we joined the rest of the group at a Goth Club located in Newark. As all of you know, I am not a Goth type of person yet I still went and even ventured onto the dance floor. I have found that when confronted with music that doesn’t exactly move you to dance, just stick out your chin and wiggle your butt, you’ll be okay. That’s what I did and it worked! Sadly, right when Lisa and I left the club, the dj started to play 80’s music. Oh well!

You guys should have seen some of the people on the dance floor. It was wild. There were three girls huddled together… KISSING?!?! Girls! Three of ’em! There was a person who’s gender I could not even fathom. There were a bunch of people with metal spikes protruding from their faces! And John Beck was there too… but by that time he was on his third costume change and no longer wearing the Pee-wee Herman t-shirt. I know, I was disappointed too. And no, the t-shirt he changed into did not contain the visage of Ed Grimley. Costume change #2 occured before the outing to the Goth Club, right around the time his mom brought out his birthday cake (It read, EAT ME). John left the room, only to return wearing his underwear. He ran around the party and bellowed, “I got da MAIL!” The odd part is that no one acted as if it was anything but entirely normal for John to do. Artists!

Happy Birthday, John Beck! Bon Voyage!
