So, apparently those wiley buggers the Eagles have released 3 new songs. I mean, totally new. Not crap from the vaults. Not dance mixes of “Heartache Tonight”. NEW. And I want them so, SO bad. The problem is two-fold: First, it’s bundled with the Eagles DVD from their Australian dates. I already have this DVD….

One More Acceptable Xmas Song
I was just rereading my post about Xmas music when I realized I left out one last acceptable Xmas song. Gene would be so proud of me – it’s Robert Earl Keen’s “Merry Christmas from the Family”.
Christmas again?
Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses is on Sirius. And it begins again. ::siiiiigh:: Actually, while I’m thinking of it… “Elaine’s List of Highly Acceptable Xmas Songs” 1) Fairytale of New York – but only the original by The Pogues feat. the Late, Great Kirsty MacColl. 2) Please Come Home for Christmas– preferably the Eagles version,…
Another self indulgent post…
Attention, people Googling “Now the party’s over, I’m so tired”: The song’s called Avalon, by Roxy Music. Now, who wants white wine spritzers?
He has great taste for a dog…
OK, since I am apparently a total weirdo, I intentionally searched YouTube to see Jessica Simpson’s video (yeah, apparently I last had sense two weeks ago, same as the last time I had real Pepsi). It’s a terrible, awful, hideous song and the video is ludicrous. Scooby was sitting on my lap when it started…
So, about that book…
I just finished reading “But Enough About Me” by Jancee Dunn. I loved it, loved it, loved it. One chapter is titled “No, none for me thanks: What to do when your subject offers you heroin”. I read the chapter title and then had to go do something else for a few minutes, but I…
Now the party’s over / I’m so tired
Watching/listening to all that Sirius Channel 22:First Wave (Classic Alternative) has turned me on to bands I didn't know I like. One of them is Depeche Mode but to take the edge off I'm really digging Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry. I get the feeling that he's Leonard Cohen with a better singing voice (in…
Things I’ve Learned…
(This is not the complete list, just the things that I’ve noticed over the past two or so weeks) 1) When you have a day off from work, don’t celebrate by getting a communicable disease. 2) My Grandmother and MIL are right – the Game Show Network ROCKS. 3) The only thing more stupid than…
Cute? or Cute? I vote Cute!
D and I went for Mexican for lunch today. They sat us in smoking, which is yucky, but those are the breaks at the lunch rush. The smoking section is connected to the bar, where there are two TVs showing sports (or sometimes unidentifiable stuff on Univision). Today they were showing ESPN’s coverage of this…
Just goofy…
I never thought of having Indiana relatives buy Power Ball tickets. I got swept up in the Lotto fever permeating my office, with all the talk of “I wouldn’t quit my job!” (Note that it wasn’t me saying I wouldn’t quit my job…cripes, I’d quit my stupid job if I won $100,000, let alone $340…
