I'M BACK - didja miss me?

Ok, so I really wasn't GONE per se, but life was hectic and by the time I got around to surfing and reading emails, I barely had enough energy to click the mouse. In fact, I'm at work today suffering from a major migrane (my second in a row), but I took yesterday off to veg out in darkness with a cold cloth practically stapled to my head, so today I must suck it up and deal.

Doesn't help that when I got in today that my desk was covered in crap again. Like for fuck's sake people - put on your big boy briefs and deal with your own god-forsaken paperwork!! ** Just because I am A bitch does not mean I'm YOUR bitch.** Learn how the filing system works - learn how to input actual INFORMATION into the computer instead of playing pool during slow periods.

And, most importantly LEARN how to use the inter-office message system. It is on your computer - it is NOT the pad of yellow sticky notes that sits on your desk. If you need to leave me a message - USE THE IM SYSTEM ASSHOLES.

Sorry - a bit frustrated with the morons that work here.

On Tuesday night Poison came to town - a show I try to catch every chance I get. Doesn't hurt that it was at a venue I work at, and the fact that my supervisor loves me is a bonus. It was an amazing show - I LOVE CC DEVILLE!! He's so incredibly hot......sigh. What makes this particular show a lot of fun is the fact that half the staff love Poison, so the majority of them got tickets to the show. And it doesn't matter where your ticket says you're sitting - we were right down on the floors. Ten feet away from the subject of many, MANY happy dreams in my youth (and my adulthood as well...hehe).

I'm so dead exhausted these days. I'm so glad that we're getting into fall now. All the cute sweaters that hide my hips and stomach come out - YAY FOR CAMOFLAUGE!! I do need to buy a pair of cowboy boots though - my old ones are toast.

I'm currently on the look out for a set of plush toys from the kids (and I use that term loosely) show Invader Zim. A friend of mine got me hooked on this (yes, I KNOW I'm 33, yes, I KNOW that it's a cartoon, yes I KNOW that I'm "too old" for this ...wait, no I don't know that), and I've been searching for the toys for months. The only place I can find them at this time is on anime sites, but they're always sold out, and on eBay, and we all know how expensive that can be. Seeing as how it went off the air in 2002 (I believe) I'm a little late in getting in on the action, but that's ok. :D

SOOOO, if any of you happen to come across a set of plush Invader Zim toys, especially the character GIR (pictured here) PLEASE let me know.

And for those who have never seen the show....sneak a peek at this...

This is a compliation of the best moments of GIR - the mentally deranged sidekick robot. I love him!!

Hmmm, music. Want to play something here today...the question is, what. Don't have any Poison on lifelogger......so instead I am going to play one from Caqnadian rocker chick Lee Aaron and dedicate it to CC. ENJOY kiddies!

Why Can't I Stay on Vacation?

Well, I'm back from the World of Mouse, and I had a great time. The weather was into the triple digits, so we were LITERALLY standing in our own sweat. Nice eh? I figure, if I had watched what I ate and drank, between all the walking I did and the sweating, I would have lost ten pounds. DAMN. Oh well, too late.

I am actually creatively stagnant right now (if there is such a phrase), and I really can't find the words to put down on the page, so to speak.

So, instead of my wonderful prose, I will, once more, post a great tune and set of lyrics from my personal collection. Let's see....I would give you some Elvis, in honor of the 30th Anniversary of his passing, but I don't have any in my account. Plus, thinking of the King makes me sad, because it reminds me of my dear friend, Ruth, whom I miss greatly. And her birthday is coming up, and I cry way too much these days.

Hmmm *scanning through lifelogger to see what's available* AH! Here we go. Some good old Canadian content.

Ladies and gentlemen (and I use those terms loosely :P), I give you - THE GUESS WHO!!!

THESE EYES

These eyes cry every night for you.
These arms long to hold you again.
The hurtin’s on me yeah,
But I will never be free no my baby, no no.
You gave a promise to me yeah and you broke it, you broke it. Oh, no.

These eyes watched you bring my world to an end.
This heart could not accept and pretend.
The hurtin’s on me yeah,
But I will never be free no no no.
You took the vow with me yeah.
You spoke it, you spoke it, babe.

These eyes are cryin’
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they’re never gonna see another one like I had with you.
These eyes are cryin’
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they’re never gonna see another one like I had with you.

These eyes are cryin’
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they’re never gonna see another one like I had with you.

These eyes cry every night for you.
These arms, these arms long to hold you, hold you again.
These eyes are cryin’
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they’re never gonna see another one like I had with you.
These eyes are cryin’
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they’re never gonna see another one like I had with you.
These eyes are cryin’
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they’re never gonna see another one like I had with you.
These eyes are cryin’
These eyes have seen a lot of loves
But they’re never gonna see another one like I had with you.
Baby, baby, baby, baby.

I'm a Rising Blogger!

I received a wonderful email this morning

Congratulations on your award on The Rising Blogger. It is a site that awards posts, not blogs. Your post from July 27, 2007 titled "Today's Blog is Brought to You by the Letter "S" won and will be posted tonight by midnight. Since we award posts, not blogs, you might even win again. To encourage your readers to comment on your award, it helps if you make the first comment on our post about your blog, yourself. We ask winners to nominate a post favorite of a fellow blogger. Call it "paying it forward". Neither is a requirement. You have won this award because we truly feel you deserve it. Great post, good job!

I have no idea who nominated me for this, but whomever it was, I thank you. I know I tend to write a lot of nonsense, but I guess that's what blogs are for right? Once in awhile, I try to write something that's relevant to others as well. To have that recognized means more to me than y'all will ever know.

I'm a real writer - go figure.
