i LOVE Autumngirlsoup. ADORE it (I can sing it, and the sentiment is true, and it's a beautiful song.)

however, i got the UK version of the album, Tropical Brainstorm, and the recording quality is CRAP.

anybody know if any other version is better?

my business card says administrative assistant. i write contracts for a major university for all their campus construction. so 'boo, i write contracts that the likes of you get to sign. tell me about those skyscrapers! i hope to someday work in interior design. right now as close as i get is that ou...

happy happy day!!!

the world is a nicer place w/ pip in it.

Triumph of the Will ..... I actually thought it was kind of gay, like the whole country getting involved in a fabulous Broadway revue. BWA HA HA HA ha ha ha ha *snort*. oh, thank you. that's the funniest thing i've heard all week. *giggle* when i watched it, i was amazed how well it worked. i wante...

oooh, love Modern Times!

they have triumph of the will? didn't look for that, but i have seen it. amazing stuff.

try Metropolis. gawd, the germans are amazing.

i know, i need to chatter more like, well, i need nothing.

but, i can't get on because i can't remember my password.

i am pitiful.

don't need a quick fix, but how to fix for future? other than remembering the damned password.

much love to you for this service.

you show up near boston, you let me know. crash space, drinks, food.

THANK YOU!

poppet's never heard KoA. and, now she can, sort-of.

happy.

hmmm. maybe i should take the bus down.

re: Franz Ferdinand - not bad. worth $10, i've spent more on absolute crap before. it ain't crap. it'll take some growing on me though, similar to Evanescence, which i thought was just mind numbing tripe when i first played it. and now, i like it. guess the subliminal messages work. now gillian welc...

hmmm. i like stone temple pilots.

'from the vatican gift shop' or whatever it's called (all i do is throw it on the player on eternal repeat) makes me happy.

i'd actually rather die than listen to celine dion on eternal repeat. hell on earth, i'd rather take my chances that the christians are right.

boo, honey, methinks you need a hug.

consider it given.

WHAR - you wanna a hug too? i'm old enough to be your mamma. i can hug you.

feeling generous and slightly teary (damned gillian welch, she gets the tears going, she does)

your poppet

when i've gotten home from work the past couple days, i've turned on the tv set, spun thru the channels, and have ended up at CMT, Country Music Television. They've been showing episodes of a documentary, history of country music, focussing on various things - the ones i've seen have been about blue...

picked up last night, and this morning:

this morning:

Time (The Revelator) - Gillian Welch

WANNA GO!!!!!!!!!!! sigh. i know. i want alot outta life, you know? and, i LOVE glasgow. sigh. can't do it. oh, i've got the vacation time. i don't have the money. condo assessment came thru last week for new roofs for the complex. i am broke for the next YEAR. ah, property ownership, such a joy.

what does that mean?

79% Kerry
75% Kucinich

i answered conservatively on some stuff, 'cause i just don't know about the items involved, e.g. 'no child left behind' - i know it's a punchline to many a joke, but i don't know anything about the program.

yeah, i'm a liberal. i already knew that.

dude, come ON!

she's so very very STARBUCKS. i mean really.

oh my, i quite miss the days of ordering my groceries online. it was FUN! easy to see what was on sale, all in one spot. easy to find things, just make the computer search for them, and voila, cream of tartar. no visiting the market, no annoying whiney brats and their parents who smack them in the s...

LC! if you do get over here, visit ME! (though, gotta say it, MBA is cuter. ah, youth.) WHAR - best wishes for the job. my first job was working in the shoe department of an upscale department store, over the winter holiday period. there is NO good reason anyone should be buying SHOES on christmas e...

i'll get there eventually!!!!

i been neglectful of ulysses, poor old guy. spend my weekends visiting friends, or out playing tourist.
