2024 In Review

Posted on January 26, 2025 by laineyd

1. What did you do in 2024 that you’d never done before? I went on a transatlantic cruise. Finally, a travel experience that I will never shut up about, possibly to replace Malaysia. 2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don’t think I made any…

A New England – Kirsty MacColl

Posted on December 1, 2024December 1, 2024 by laineyd

(Well done, Elaine. Two posts in 3 g.d. months!) As I’ve mentioned, I discovered Kirsty MacColl senior year of college, when MTV or VH-1 showed the video for Fairytale of New York by The Pogues, and the line about “I could have been someone / Well, so could anyone!” absolutely hit me in my core….

Enjoy The Silence – Depeche Mode

Posted on September 1, 2024 by laineyd

So, for the record this list is not in any particular order. It’s just a list of songs that I love. So (again). Here is my music evolution: First album: either the Cabbage Patch Doll album or Dolly Parton’s 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs. Next: Chicago, specifically Hard to Say I’m Sorry. Then, Phil…

Let’s Talk About Music

Posted on September 1, 2024September 1, 2024 by laineyd

This is something I’ve been meaning to do for a long, long time. I have a playlist (originally on iTunes, now on Amazon Music) that is called “Elaine’s Favorites” (obviously an awe inspiring name for a playlist). The original iteration had 50 songs but some of the songs didn’t survive the translation to Amazon Music…

7/24/1999

Posted on July 24, 2024July 24, 2024 by laineyd

Twenty five years ago today I graduated from college. My entire family attended. Gene (who was my boyfriend at the time) was there. At one table, my grandfather and his wife, my grandmother, my beloved Aunt, my parents, my brother, and Me. I hate this getting older stuff. How am I 47 years old? When…

The Last Two Years in Review

Posted on April 29, 2023 by laineyd

1. What did you do in 2021-2022 that you’d never done before? Had COVID, bought a new house because I wanted to (as opposed to having to due to a work related move). 2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Just keep swimming. 3. Did anyone…

COVID 1, Elaine also 1

Posted on November 6, 2022November 6, 2022 by laineyd

September 13, I went to a regularly scheduled appointment with my general practitioner. (He’s terrible, but that’s another story). I got a flu shot and a prescription for 5 mg of Ambien for anxiety because he won’t write me for Ativan. (Perfect, I look forward to taking the Ambien when I’m anxious during the workday,…

So Happy!

Posted on September 5, 2022September 5, 2022 by laineyd

Also, a great big FUCK YOU to HostLatte, my now-former blog host company. So, a few weeks ago I tried to get to this blog. And couldn’t! I tried to log in to this blog’s admin page. And couldn’t! Weirdly I could get to the blog if I used Safari’s incognito mode, or if I…

Ghosts Appear, then Fade Away

Posted on December 28, 2020February 27, 2021 by laineyd

Sometime in the last year, we found this video on YouTube of Choir!Choir!Choir! performing Men At Work’s song “Overkill” accompanied by Colin Hay (the singer from Men at Work). (There is also a video of Choir!Choir!Choir! performing Never Gonna Give You Up with Rick Astley and if these videos do not make you want to…
