Tuesday, November 23, 2004 I just want to sing a song with you....Let's hear it for the 2 day work week! Except that today will end up being a back to back stretch of roughly 16 hours. But that's ok! Did I mention 5 day weekend?! Days? 5? Vacation? Holiday? Fun? Yay?
Today is going to be random spout off day.
Once again, yesterday at the gym, I was unarmed, having showed up without my "Supersonic" lyrics. Curses!
I still haven't started my 15 page paper. Perhaps something I can do at work tonight. Maybe I'll start with the references first to actually have a few of the pages filled with something.
Lisa's library recently received her Jem CD back from the lendee, and I've been listening to it non-stop since Saturday. Only to be reminded a day late, that she was in fact in concert on Sunday. Curses! (note: if you think that you don't know who Jem is, you'd be mistaken. Her songs have been cropping up everywhere, most notably the Desperate Housewives promos, promos for some show on TNT, and most recently for the new flick Closer, although Damien Rice is also used for those too. Shit, I'd go see the movie for those two songs alone).
Two quick things I have to say about the Pistons/Pacers brawl (I don't want to belabour this considering that five zillion articles have been written about it): 1) It could and probably would have happened anywhere, but it's unfortunate that we Detroiters have shown ourselves as the short-fused heathens that we are. 2) I think they should punish every person who threw and/or spilled their beer. Have you been to The Palace lately? Those damn things are like $8 a pop. They should be punished for not taking a little more pride in their alcoholic beverages.
My coffee pot is making some crazy noises. It's imperative that I ensure its complete functionality. Kisses.
