So we drove into the city to meet up with Katie and two other podiatry friends from out of town for dinner before the Weird Al concert. We ate at Jacob Wirth's, which has been around since the 1800s. I got butternut squash ravioli which was very good, but the serving size was very small and I was still hungry ( Read more... )

So a few years ago Dominic's psychiatrist said that he was 100% sure after visiting with me a number of times that I also have ADHD. I have Tourette's Syndrome, which apparently has a 60% rate of accompanying ADHD, plus he could just tell by the way I talked and acted. I've always suspected this as well ( Read more... )

I can't get this out of my head! AAAAUUUGHHHHH!!!!
Velvet Elvis (Weird Al)

I've updated the World's Worst Songs To Have Stuck In Your Head page. It now has sound clips for nearly all of the things on the list. Muahahahaha!

I have been trying to get ahold of this CD for years. I had the album ages ago but it had long since "gone away." (There was a time when a lot of our belongings "went away" including a bunch of CDs and my clothing and jewelry.

So my mom came to town on Tuesday, and just left today. It was cool having her here for Thanksgiving. I cooked stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, a broccoli casserole (for the rest of us--my mom is afraid of broccoli) and a flourless chocolate cake. My mom got some sliced turkey breast at the store so she and Dan had Bird but I didn't have to ( Read more... )

What the hey? We get DirecTV and part of that is a bunch of stations up in the 800-range that are XM Satellite Radio channels. One of my favorites is XM Pops (#866). I enjoy really good classical music but get bored with the mediocre stuff, so I like this station better than the other classical one, because it plays basically the stuff that has ( Read more... )

Dan drove down last Sunday night from Ohio. He told me he might or might not drive straight through. If he did, it would put him at my house after 6am. When I woke up Sunday night some time after 5am and hadn't gotten a call saying "hey, I'm stopping to sleep" I figured it meant he'd driven straight through, and it was very hard for me to get back ( Read more... )

So I've been listening to a lot of Sinead O'Connor in the car, and belting along at the top of my lungs (a pastime I've enjoyed since high school, might I add) but there are always a few little bits here and there that I can't quite make out. Even after all these years of singing the same songs, I either never knew or I knew and then forgot the ( Read more... )
