The Cheesecake is Rich

So, I am going to give a big thumbs up to a website I recently discovered: www.bookmooch.com. Basically, it is a book trading website. If I have a copy of Random Chick-lit Book #4 but I don’t want it any more, I can list it in my “inventory.” If you want a copy of Random [...]

So, the Xmas music started today at work. Congratulate me – I made it to 9:15 before making a face about the annoying music. (The song was “Hey Santa” by the Wilson Sisters). Only 19 days to go! In other news, yes, I *DID* sing along to Darlene Love’s “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” when [...]

Saw Leonard Cohen last night. The tickets were not particularly cheap and I bought them right after my paycut, but if I had to do it over again I totally would. Leonard is in his mid-70s. He is not a young man. And, well, I’ve tortured most of you with listening to my Leonard Cohen [...]

Did Lindsey Buckingham lose a bet or something?

Tickets to see Leonard Cohen cost just as much as tickets to see the (fucking) Eagles – $200 each. HOOOOOLY CRAP. I will add that to the list of things I’m not buying. Yikes.

Actually, I liked the old music channel because I hadn’t heard two of my favorite old songs “Let’s Hang On” by Frankie [...]

Apparently I’m in an early ’90s mood. I’m going to go put on some black knit pants. (Apologies for the announcer at the beginning. This is REM’s acoustic performance of Half a World Away from Unplugged. It’s not their best song, but it is definitely their prettiest).

It was (probably) true 40 years ago, it was true in ’93 and it was true on Tuesday. Well, I can hope so anyway I hope all is well with all of you.

I have nothing of interest to say. It’s been rough ’round the homestead of late and I was pretty close to just saying fuck it all and running away from home and coming to live with you guys instead (if you are wondering “Does she mean me?” the answer is a big fat “YES” because [...]
