Kitties
I am a sucka for stories or pictures of kittens or puppies. I am some sort of 12 year old girl trapped in a gen-x body.
Just so you know.
Liz's Bookclub

Oh My
I was talking to my little brother the other night. I call him 'little brother' even though he is technically much larger than me.
He had a friend staying with him over the weekend, and this friend has a kid. Not sure how old, but fairly young because he took naps still.
They went to FAO Swartz, and the kid was apparently very well behaved and would just walk around touching things and saying, "Oh my".
Now, imagine my brother using a very southern, effeminate voice to say this. And then imagine he is trying to mimic a little kid. The way he did it, made it sound like this was David Sedaris' kid (if he had one).
"Oh my"
"Oh my"
Satan Sammich
The weather (knock on some wood) has been beautiful these past few days. For lunch I decided to walk to the river, eat, enjoy the weather, and watch helicopters come and go.
I stopped by this funny deli on 2nd ave and ordered a sandwhich and got a juice. The total came out to be $6.66
All the little deli guys looked real nervous all of a sudden. Either they had made a satanic sandwhich, or they were serving satan himself, or I was one of those people that would make a big fuss over it and make them re-ring me to get a different total.
They were really nervous about it.
It was a fine sandwhich, and so far has not had any satanic effects.
So, I go down to the river and watch boats and helicopters come and go. I don't know about other people, but watching a helicopter land and take off is one of the few things left that fills me with boyhood glee. Well, maybe not glee, but I will stop what I am doing and watch it - good thing I don't work near a helipad.
Rockumentary.org
The peeps at rockumentary.org finally contacted me about our stolen robot image that showed up on their site. They seem to be nice - as far as you can tell via email.
I think they will be taking down the image.
Hmmmm.
Devon
If you went to 'college' with me, and knew our pal Devon... well, i think he's in a band now (on the far right)
I hate gold
There. I said it. It's a great material, but I don't like the color of gold itself.
Yuck.
It's BTO -- they're Canada's answer to ELP. Their big hit was TCB.
