i told you so

but i lied.

Last night's dream was awful. Made me late for work. I beat up a girl I've never even seen before. In a cabin in the woods. Anne was there. We were all being hunted. Strange.

As much as I love Eddie Izzard, I just can't get into The Riches. But I love Eddie Izzard. It's hard but I know it's all Minnie Driver's fault. I hate Minnie Driver. She's right up there with Julia Stiles.

I need to get away. I gotta get away!!!!

Memorial day weekend and the lake, plans is plans. Thank you LORD!

Looking forward to whatever Thursday brings, even if it means missing puppy school 2 weeks in a row. Whoops. I do feel bad. But he is just a dog.

back to the lesson at hand

yet another addendum to perfect garden:

Love-apples (isn't that the best?)

mystic blue salvia

Faun's hair (another fav.)

Everything is Illuminated is one of the best movies I've seen in years. IT didn't get any theater play around here, which isn't really a big surprise, but kindof. Very fulfilling story and funny. That and I love all things old world Russian Jew.

Also watch The X Files movie just for old times sake. It was on. I hadn't seen it in 10 years or so. But yea, fairly terrible.

I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was full of tales.

Texas, a quitter

So I wrote it. And I'm proud. Suck it!

The bill collector, they ring my phone, and scare my wife when I'm not home, even though I cancled that account months ago and don't actually owe anything and it's not my fault their stupid accounts receivable can't take me off the list quit calling my phone!! We were closed during your billing cycle arseholes!!!

And anyway. Lots to do. Bad hair day. Ready for red bull and dancing. Ready for more movies than we can watch. Lately:

-Shopgirl --Sucked it. So totally freaking boring, melodramatic, crap and I hate Claire Danes anyway.

-Memoirs of A Geisha-- sucked it too. They couldn't even come close to the lovely, if not Oprahy descriptions in the book. "In placing the fabric here, along the nape of the neck, we will show them a cleft of a peach, to remind them of the cleft they will not see."

-The Lakehouse--I couldn't help it but still sucking. I really like both Keanu and Sandra but a magical, mystical mailbox, come on.

If you can't tell, I haven't been feeling very well lately (down in my back from digging in the garden), so I've been tackling the really difficult stuff to make my brain work overtime.

We got infranetter at the house! So many plans to hatch...

sunday sunday sunday

I like my job most of the time.

Like they're previewing the new Tori album on her myspace page and we're all doing office work of sorts and I was playing it and when You can Bring Your Dog came on all the women her started "Oooh oohh oooh oooh oooh-ing" with me. It was fun. So I got that and the new Bjork preordered. Looking forward to trying to catch them both on tour this summer although we all know Tori's a lot more likely to see. And I've seen Bjork before (from waaay afar) when Anne and I went to Europe at some festival I've forgotten the name of with a bunch of rowdy drunk Germans (imagine),

Listening to a bunch of mix cds and I'll just say it, I like some songs (handful for each band) but I just can't like Pavement and Guided by Voices and as lame as that makes me or whateverthefuck, I'm tired of trying and ready to move on with my life.

Clambake Shrimpboil a la Mohoganus Saturday and Girls Club Friday!! I can hardly wait!

My clothes

It's pouring and I love it. Tip of the hat to you God, thanks for saving me no less than 20 trips to the faucet and back (although I do love what lugging buckets and watering cans of water is doing to my shoulders and back). I kinda needed a break from that anyway.

No body knows me

Being super duper busy at work is making me super duper busy writing alot. I already have a v. fun, v. silly 2nd piece in the works. It's rough though, so I'll spare you. I'm flexing my rhyme bone though and it makes me laugh.

Like my clothes

And my dahlias are growing!

Ready for some R&R. Mexico, we are heading your way sooner than you think. But first I have to get thee to the bakery and order 6 turtle shaped cupcakes for my boss' birthday (we're doing the HOTS program and she's a turtle, I'm an owl. Hoot Hoot!), get thee to the jewelry store and find out the cost of dipping my rings in platinum since I've developed a metal allergy, get home and feed the hungry donkey bear farm, and then a movie, sweet time, snoring.

All building up to Friday night dancing girls club!! I love my life right now.

Fact about me: I know just about all of Offspring's song lyrics whether I like it or not.

Adjust to previous dream-garden listing: add Potato Vine, Texas Blue Bonnet, Hawaiian Peacock Jasmine, Delphineum, and Catnip.

Things may have changed, but how they've changed for the better.

Aqua Teen movie was just a big ball of fun crap. And how for the opening sequence. Wow. We should have been trippin' balls!

Love Ur Panub. I sure do.

It's easy to commit to flowers. It's easy to plan a life with these. It's easy to be loved in nitrogen, carbon, compost, and canes. Frailty is normal in flowers.
