Grrrrrr!

I am annoyed right now.

Theme Party: Tiki Rebirth

Is it a drinking party? Or a polynesian rebirth ritual? Or what???

I am having a small tiki party on Saturday to celebrate...my divorce becoming final. Yup, Rhys and I will be no more. Legally speaking. People have asked me if I'll be terribly upset. And they have asked if I will be jumping around, whooping with joy. My answer to both is: I don't know.

But you can find out with me if you come over and visit! I haven't decided the exact details such as time and how much I can depend on people's potlucking generosity, but when I do you-all can expect a phone call!

Troll Hall of Shame

I am very embarrassed to say that I have not yet mailed the fabulous prize out to the winner of my Anita Blake trivia contest! Poor Tiffky is much deprived, and though she has politely not commented on her missing loot, I am sure that late at night when she is alone she may shed a quiet tear or two because she does not have an erotic poster of Jean-Claude the vampire with this Hand Down his Pants.

I swear, I'll mail it this week. Troll's Honor!

New Song

Found a new song at chordie.com this weekend...I never heard it before but instantly fell in love with the lyrics, so I invented a melody based on the chords that were supplied with the lyrics. I love it and can't stop playing it--title is "I've Heard that Tear-Stained Monologue You Do There by the Door Before You Leave."

Attributed to Mason Williams (see pic). He played it on the album Handmade (1970) but I don't see it under his list of compositions...

I know I haven't written in the blog for a long time. I've been kinda down & just didn't feel into it. But I am hoping to get back into the swing of things!

Coincidence?

So on Wednesday night I decided I wanted to learn to play the song "Sandy" from the movie Grease. On my ukulele, I mean. (this is the song that John Travolta sings after Olivia gets pissed at him in and leaves him at the drive in.) And I looked around at all my favorite music sites but could not for the life of me find the actual chords, just lyrics. It was annoying! Well, whatever.

So I gave up. But then the next morning I was walking my dog, the beautiful and entrancing Rose, and a garbage truck came rolling along beside me with the guys on the back hollering a song. Do you know what song that was? Can you guess?

What are the odds that for the first time in my life I would encounter singing garbagemen AND THEY WOULD BE SINGING THE SAME SONG????

Obviously there is some sort of confluence in my life, or perhaps the world is ending.
