Been listening to a lot of Kate Bush. I could never appreciate or understand her music. Her voice was grating. But now, she's grown on me. I can see how much Tori Amos was influenced by her. I like Kate Bush because she seems more genuinely strange than Tori Amos. And that girl can DANCE. Every video is more complex (dance-wise) than some of those ( Read more... )

I saw two people recently that I hadn't seen in a couple years. They completely DID NOT recognize me. These were separate incidents in different locations. Eventually, one of them DID notice who I was. The other, I said hello to her and she didn't respond back! She just stared at me like I was a freak!

I haven't changed that much... or have I?

Going to NYC tomorrow with the kids from summer school. We're going to see The Lion King on Broadway. Friday is Splash Mountain Water Park. I'm excited for this all to be over with so I can get on with my summer ( Read more... )

Anybody ever bought anything from American Apparel? Do the sizes run small or are they like most other stores (Gap, J. Crew, etc.)?

We have no water at my house today. I have no clue what we're going to do about it. My dad is coming out look at the water pump, but if he can't fix it, I'll have to shell out some big bucks to get it fixed. I can't even flush the toliet. Sometimes I wished I lived in a townhouse, where I wouldn't have to cut grass, have curb-side trash pickup, and ( Read more... )

Summer school is continuing to be very stressful. I like being in control and in the job that I'm doing, I can't be. Hate that. Fortunately, there is only one more week left and then my vacation can really begin. Tuesday, the children are performing The Jungle Book for the parents and the sixth graders. On Wednesday, we're taking the kids to New ( Read more... )

I feel really good today. I went to the gym at 8 AM and ran 3 miles in 30 minutes on the elipical machine. It felt good and now I know why I used to be in the habit of getting there every Sunday at 8. I need to get back to my regular routines that I abandoned since the regular school year ended. I gained 0.8 of a pound at Weight Watchers yesterday ( Read more... )

I pledge allegiance to myself
In quest of my goal
And to the healthiness for which it stands
One body
Under control - indisputably
With confidence and new clothes for fall!

1. Wichita Lineman - Glen Campbell
I'm not a Glen Campbell fan, but this song makes me want to cry. The first couple lines are just like any other shitty country song (except the melody). But then he starts getting deep and metaphorical... "And I need you, more than want you. And I want you for all time." That's some heavy stuff.

2. Some Velvet ( Read more... )
