It's cool, that's cancer not kidney failure.

No, but I wouldn't get tested for compatibility either. It's kind of an involved process with a chance, although small, of something going wrong, like an infection. Seems to me the time, trouble, and risk, would be dumb if I already decided no.

I dreamed about John Barrowman last night.
It was just an odd dream, not great but not bad either. Mum was in it too. JB was drinking John Smith's Bitter, which surprised me. Mum also claimed not to know he was gay. I emailed her today to say what a silly old woman she had been in my dream. |

I feel the need to rant about something, but I don't know what. It's one of those days for me. I have these negative feelings about injustice and crankiness and god knows what. If I start, just let me go.
Consider yourself warned.

So, i stayed away spent my time planning a teddy bears picnic cake, and making the bears. Also, another tinkerbell cake. This one will be different though. So anyway, not a bad day in the end.

Having to get revved up to get everything done, then trying to chill out knowing in a little while it's full throttle again, is like being a diabetic on a sugar see-saw.

"I know you're stupid but can you be less stupid?" That's my new favorite quote. I recently accepted this part-time job, and this one girl at the office told me she actually said this to another staff member. Now I'm starting to think of this sentence when I'm faced with certain people.

What a stupid thing to say to someone. Maybe she's upset because she thinks others are taking her share.

Hehehe....that girl is a tad mean to the other man. She even admitted to it. She's upset because he wouldn't do his share of work. I'm learning all these new stuffs that he said took him 4 months to grasp. After two days, I'm already getting the hang of it. So maybe he is a tad slow.

Damn you to hell UT. Every time I open up the cellar I get an earworm. Like walking in the rain and the snow...

Well! The only way to manage that is to replace it with something also earwormy from the same time period!
This song is charming somehow, and I don't know why. Its charm is what? That it is absolutely ridiculous in every way? That it was sung by a porn star who can barely sing, at a time when unlike today, porn stars were considered unclean and never made crossovers into any other form of entertainment? (Hint, I think in 1976 it was believed that with the arrival of disco, we were all gonna get laid.) That it features terrible amateur musicians and is a terrible recording? No. It's charming because it features a wood block, throughout! Not even a cowbell! And in the bridge, for a while, the wood block is struck twice on 2 and 4, instead of once. A bold move. ~ I'll tellya what blew me away, one time... when I realized that Saint Etienne's "Hug My Soul" (1994) references "More More More" by using almost the same opening line. The Et's Sarah Cracknell sings "Ooooooh, what are you thinking of" and duplicates the rhythm of True's opening line "Ooooooh, how do you like your love". It's on purpose. And the song in general is 10 times better played, 100 times better recorded, and is sung by a true musician instead of a ridiculous porn star. And its charm comes from a pair of flutes, not a wood block. Flutes, always welcome by me in a pop song. Gorgeous harmonies, a sublime key change, a stunning arrangement combining full orchestration with modern sounds. So this song is a much more worthy earworm. "More More More" hit #4 in the US and #5 in the UK. "Hug My Soul" hit #32 in the UK and did not chart in the US. (note, this is not the official video. just ignore the video part and listen to the song.) |

Well, that girl maybe couldn't sing, but boy oh boy could she dance.
And thanks for the new earworm. |
