Gather Ye Rosebuds

Ah, Polonia, how I have missed you! Too bad we missed lemonlies, but we will be back, and probably on a weekend anywho. I thought of lorelei_aisling while we ate, because of the food and the music. I have realized that 20 something years can change your view of something. I got bold enough to try the borscht; I haven't had it since I was a kid visiting my Polish grandparent's farm in Canada. It was really good (as was everything else)! I wish my Glitter was there.

( Hooray for Nymphie and Kurosawa! )


Anyone interested in a game night or pot luck or something sometime soon?

For a moment there, I began singing the lyrics to the Pet Shop Boys song Yesterday, When I Was Mad in place of the lyrics to The Stranglers song (Get A) Grip (On Yourself) before the actual lyrics started. I wonder why that was. Was it because the two songs share a common opening melody that I confused one for the other? Maybe it is the lyric phrasing and symmetry. So I just listened to the intros of both songs, and swapped the opening lyrics on each, and they pretty much fit. Odd how that works. If you have iTunes, you can hear both and judge for yourself (choose the "Grip" option in the list for The Stranglers for the most accurate portrayal of the song; it is the second one down). Even the tempo on both songs have similar characteristics, even though one is synthesized and the other is more rock. One song is from 1977, and the other 1994. Hmm.

We slept too long.

Not enough time to get there before they close.

No Polonia. :(

Buddhism in Nova Scotia? Who'da thunk it?

Mostly Japanese cds on ebay from my friend. Browse, and buy if you like.

Saw "You're A Good Man Charlie Brown" at the Studio theater tonight. It saddens me to see how empty the fairly small theater was.

Rescheduled chiropractor appointment tomorrow. Thank god! The tingling is getting on my nerves, literally.

Polonia tomorrow night? Let's hope. :D

Bubbalou's for Father's Day?? Yum.

Time to check AE.com to see if the sandals and shirts are still on sale.

Alka-Seltzer is some nasty stuff. Blergh!

So I was virtual shopping at AE.com. Even with stuff on sale I can spend over $100.00(!)

I was going to show a virtual outfit I had made, but the links on the website are funny and I could only get a jpg for the sandals. Crappo.

( Anyhow, the sandals )

It has come to my attention, while looking at the summer stuff, that I really need some summer jammies. Thay have to be light and cool enough, but I have to be able to decent enough if people come over while I am in them. I have a pair of old VS jumper thing, but the material is thick, and not as light and airy as other versions of this were at the time. Sigh. I shouldn't have had that coffee at Austin's, but I needed the energy boost to see our friends, while their son played in a band with a couple girls from his high school. Not I am so hot. I should get some cold water or something. Or just go to bed.

I got tagged by lorelei_aisling

Tried to negotiated a *squall* between my apartment and my car this morning.

Tried to negotiate a parking lot long puddle that was at least as wide as I am tall, and at least ankle deep. Yeah, I failed that one.

Walked around the office in my socks today, except for on my breaks when I went outside; shoes still damp when I left work.

Had I been a little quicker in responding to light on my way home, I would've been broadsided by a guy in an SUV on his cell phone.

Why couldn't Neil have sung more songs with Electronic? I think that when he was in the band it was the best combination: Neil Tennant from the Pet Shop Boys, Bernard Sumner from New Order, and Johnny Marr from The Smiths. Could you pick a better group of musicians? But I vastly prefer Neil's singing voice to Bernard's, so I wish he had sung more songs when he was with them.

Heh heh...


lorelei_aisling and I have decided to run off to the island of Pag off the coast of Croatia, cook their yummy food in Le Creuset cookware, while listening to some music.


:)

All right, it's off to bed for me kiddies!
