The Cheesecake is Rich

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.

So, I have two words I am currently using way too much: 1) Devastating, as in “The last thirty minutes of Atonement were devastating” or “OMG, the ending of that Carly Simon song was devastating.” If I knew how to blog via text message, I would have used both of these sentences already. Apparently, everything [...]

So, around Thanksgiving, the Muzak channel changed from “Cool Songs that Elaine doesn’t Automatically Hate” to “Hits of the 50s and Eeeeearly 60s” and stayed that way until a week or two ago. 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 [...]

(Same rules as the 1995 post below, just with slightly less sucky music) 1. Tonight’s The Night, Rod Stewart  (creepy video and I have trouble believing Rod Stewart was ever sexy) 2. I Just Want To Be Your Everything, Andy Gibb 3. Best Of My Love, Emotions 4. Love Theme From “A Star Is Born”, [...]

So, it’s nearly midnight KL time, I can’t sleep due to somebody’s coughing (actually, due to both Gene and my coughing together) and yet, I can’t shiv the cause of this insomnia. Since I can nap tomorrow and Gene can’t, here is a very interesting meme-whatchamacallit that I stole from another site: 1) Go to [...]

So I’m watching the coverage of Hurricane Gustav on CNN. Why do the anchors keep acting surprised when the journalists actually in New Orleans (where the winds are currently 100+ MPH, I think) are unable to be heard?? Geeeez. “Bob, if you can hear me, go inside!” and my favorite “Hey, can you go outside [...]

So I’m sitting here at Cheesecake City International Airport n’ Bait Shop (motto: Now with more Starbucks!), once again lovin’ the free wi-fi. I’m supposed to do something of value, but I really only have eyes for my two square inches of the internet, so, there you go. My flight leaves in (oh geez) two [...]
