So I was bored at work today and while my thoughts were wandering, I happened to remember one of those memes where you compile a soundtrack for your life. I almost did this, but then it occurred to me that every song on that soundtrack would be Boots Randolph's "Yakety Sax" (best known as the theme to the Benny Hill Show, and guaranteed to make ( Read more... )

Dude, I was flipping the dial on my way home from the store tonight and I happened to catch ZZ Top's "Pearl Necklace" on 107.5. I'm frankly surprised they had the balls to play it, but I'm delighted because I loved that song in high school (when I didn't really know what it meant and I thought I did because I thought I was a worldly and ( Read more... )

I have given some serious thought to changing my name to Sanjuro and becoming a wandering samurai. It can't possibly pay less than Lol-Mart.

Seriously, you don't think I'm going to not go home every chance I get.

+ Dinner was sweet and delicious. I'm kind of glad I didn't order a full portion of the ahi tuna sashimi and just have that as my meal, although from the weight-loss standpoint I probably should have. (I went over my limit by 400 calories. Yeek.) It was tasty, but it wasn't authentic; I think I vastly prefer honest-to-God Japanese-style sashimi ( Read more... )

So I went Christmas shopping today, which was just perfect because everybody of course wants to drive around in the rain and stand in line for hours and hours and hours. On the other hand, at least I took care of dethorats' Christmas presents (heh heh heh, I done took care of Price real good) and X-chan. That's the plus side of giving yourself permission to ( Read more... )
