a karaoke update

i'm at work.
it's a bit slow.
however it offers a chance to speak of last night's activities which included:
drink/friends/karaoke
the songs?
1. tonight and the rest of my life by nina gordon
2. down by the water by pj harvey
3. i do by lisa loeb (a request, no less!)

that's right-- three damn songs.

oh, work is slow today. it's make the whole day move very, very slowly and i can't freakin' believe that it's only 12:16 p.m.

a shout out to mr. terry w., for tomorrow he is taking a giant leap in his health by quitting smoking (and i shall banish it altogether again as i've fallen off the wagaon a bit)!

my girl is enjoying the American Girl Store (Compound, actually) in Chicago with her dad and stepmum this week -- and friday she and i shall commence school clothes shopping -- old navy is right...shopping really IS fun again!

sadly we have to put a little work into ye olde jetta -- fuel pump, possibly. somehow cars always know when you have recently been paid. how do they know? who tells them? how can i stop that phenomenon?

i need to find a hammock or some other swinging apparatus for the porch on the house. why? well there is nothing quite as soothing as a nice swing in the breeze on a day such as today -- except for a sharp stick in the eye. wait. what i mean to say is that a nice swing in the breeze is BETTER than a sharp stick in the eye. of course i've not recently put anything in my eye, let alone a sharp stick, so do i know that fact in all certainty? not a bit. if anyone does, please, offer your thoughts.

that leads me to think about my move toward contact lenses and the fact that i've worn them less than twice in the last two months. there is always something on them -- fuzz, lint, etc. -- that i can't manage to remove without dousing it with lens solution. then it's soaking wet and i can't make it move from my fingertip to my eyeball. "screw it!" i declare.

okay, just for a moment just now i fell asleep at my desk. then i sort of jolt awake, wondering if anyone saw that. i think i'm in the clear. but what about next time? what then, i ask?

i should look for work to do. hey! there is stuff to do! anything to make this eternal day move a little bit faster...
