Janelle! Now I have that evil Céline Dion stuck in my head! "Somewhere, right now, some newlywed couple is dancing to the theme song from a sinking ship. Divorce lawyers have never had it so good." - Doug Camilli Not a favorite thing.

Janelle's out of context quote from Psalms.

he taught me that too. when i see it now, i laugh so hard i cry.

(i was never worried about you Janelle. i knew you wouldn't hurt the Grove. it was a general warning put out there)

you go girl!
d.

warm welcomes.

oh libby-please accept my apologies. i would never wish this on anyone.....ever.

ahh yes. well, i'm in need of all the mercy i can get.

Egg nog, new sign language teachers, free baby carrots, helpful TAs, and discovering that the article I reallyreally wanted to use but couldn't access through any local university was available, for free, directly from the publication's website. My printer will be out of ink by Monday, but I HAVE THE ARTICLE! And I don't have to return to the library! Except for that whole distraction-free studying thing. (Dang, my printer takes ages with .pdf files.) Oh, and two separate people at the studio thought I'd been studying baladi for far longer than I have, on the basis of my impressive (to them) dancing. I know I need one hell of a lot of work before I'm ready to dance solo (or even in troupe shows -- ugh to Sunday's), but it's nice to hear such things.

phone calls.

Hmm, interesting. I just got that song out of my head. Theese hispanic students where playing a cd of it, and singing along with it while we were waiting for the bird to finish baking.
I told them about this Russian version I have on mp3. It's great.

Telephone banking. Namely, the ability to pay bills ontime via telephone banking, even when I've lost the paper versions and only found them the day before the utility company in question expects money. I'm in love.

tonight's fat orange full moon, low on the horizon.

WIRELESS INTERNET!!!!!

FREEKBASS! ...who put on an amazing show last night at Little Brothers

New wool socks!

hey, i've seen him! cool stuff!

The new sign over the 9' wide doorway to my sunroom:

Nobody gets to see the wizard.
Not nodody. Not nohow.

LMAO!
thanks tory. i needed that.

My PC and cable modem. I'm Christmas shopping on Yahoo, playing some mp3s, downloading that Mazzy Star song everyone seems to love from iTunes, ripping all our Christmas CDs to create a mega-Xmas-mp3-comp, reading my email, and talking to y'all at the same time.

Michelle's fabulous taste in music

Keith digging on Mazzy Star.

Which songs did you d/l besides Fade Into You?


pssst, zayne - sampler cd (including other artists) is made.

That was it. Kept me spellbound for a solid hour, too!

The CD is going on my next Amazon order.

Well, so much for self-restraint. I was just at the local mall to get some holiday shopping done, and as if by magic I was mysteriously drawn into the overpriced fye record store, specifically the "M" section under Rock/Pop. There, sitting sadly by its lonesome as the sole resident of the Mazzy Star section was So Tonight That I Might See. So of course, what could I do but plunk down the $15.99 retail + tax and give it a warm home where it will be loved and appreciated?

I'm so pathetic.

np: Bells Ring

oh, a new favorite thing.

keith, oh wonderful wonder that he is, absolutely MADE MY WEEK! that natalie macmaster concert is freakin' awesome! ugh.

you more thank rawk.

oh, michelle and keith: zena (from the old list)--you guys remember josh and zena neds-fox? well, their dear little girl's name is "mazzy," named after your dear songstress.

-jaem

YAY!

i just lifted my glass of mineral water up to you -- (now that's really special)

If by pathetic you mean fabulous, then yeah.

what she said. yeah. tooooooootoally.
love you, keith!
mwah.

"Hi. I'm michelle, what's your name?"

"Mazzy."

that's kickass. g'head, say it outloud, you know you wanna.

Friends and strangers alike call me Stargirl. Well, except when I'm screaming and breaking things... which is getting more likely by the minute.


Favorite thing: being reminded of Killer, my fuzzy little chick. He makes me smile.

sun glowing out from behind clouds
making banket (dutch almond pastry) with my mom
new music from my daddy

That woman who was poking at leaf-clogged drainage grates on the street with the tip of her umbrella, clearing the way for enormous lakes of rainwater to be sucked away.... If she hadn't been accompanied by her four-year-old, I would have hugged her.

Sanity-saving walks with my little sister, who seems capable of handling anything.
How much my family loves me.
Dancing to Shubra in the living room.

You say "pathetic." I say "way cool"!!!

: )

Go Kylie!!!

My Aunt Delma's raspberry pie. Holy. Those of us who saw her make it didn't tell the other family members what was under the aluminum foil -- we wanted that sucker all to ourselves.

My second cousin Leah, who will be one year old tomorrow. Proof that our family still makes good-looking babies.

Getting to see the sites of my dad's old homes/barns, even if they all burned down years ago.

Enjoying trips to see the family much more than I thought I would.

Making up

My slightly untraditional, sorta Charlie Brown-like, almost-anything-goes-as-far-as-decorations-are-concerned Christmas tree, which went UP today at work!

: )

Realizing that I had a political discussion with my dad, where he didn't discount my stance because of some minor detail. he even agreed with me. (I think hell has frozen over).

I might have a chance with that girl!

Well, if your version of Hell is dante's version of Hell, then you will agree that there are parts of Hell that are indeed frozen over. So maybe I have a chance with that girl too.
(Lit geeks trying to justify asking a girl out by using Dante, I love it).
