What does it say about me...
...that when I come home from a day out and find a plate of decorated penis-shaped cookies in my refrigerator, I don't find it surprising or unusual.
"Oh, a plate of penis cookies. Hmm. Looks like we're low on milk." -
Drivel.
Last night, after an evening at home with VDK and Lost Highway, David Lynch wreaked havoc on my dreams (as expected). My brain concocted a disturbing scenario in which one of the lead drapers killed me, skinned me, then used my epidermis to make an attractive ladies pantsuit ( Read more... ) -
Some adult beverages were totally necessary.
Last night, we had Costume Shop Karaoke. It was my first time. My across-the-hall neighbor/Craft Shop friend, Ms. Craftypants organized the event and chose an actual karaoke bar, which contained more glittering disco balls than I have ever seen in my life, ever ( Read more... ) -
Day Eight: A Song You Know All the Words To.
The hiatus is over; I'm back in the game.
A Song You Know All the Words To: Hole - Boys on the Radio.
This has been a secret anthem of mine since I was sixteen.

Day Six: A Song That Reminds You of Somewhere.
A Song That Reminds You of Somewhere: Ketty Lester - Love Letters.

The Cat's Meow Work-Related Road Trip of '11: Day One. Also, Song Challenge, Day Five.
I can't decide what I should do with my evening. I could summon up my buried enthusiam and have an adult beverage and dance around my motel room to happy music. I could watch the SVU marathon and work on the new blanket I started. Or, I could wash up and read until I fall asleep, which will likely happen within a half hour. It was a ( Read more... ) -
Day Four: A Song That Makes You Sad.
A Song That Makes You Sad: Stevie Nicks - Belladonna.
I was listening to this on the way home from camp in 2007, back when I was devastated over the fallout and convinced that I would never be able to work there again. I associate the whole album with this, but particularly "Belladonna," probably because of the driving and circus references.

Day Three: A Song That Makes You Happy.
A Song That Makes You Happy: The Beatles - I Feel Fine.
This has always been one of my happy songs, probably because it is amongst those I used to dance to with my dad late at night when I was little on nights my mom was at work.
( I love that the Beatles made music videos! )
