Remember a while back when I had a rant about how
I found out I owed the government money from an old tax file of mine?
Well I picked up my mail today…
And I see an envelope from the US Treasury Department.
And from the dimensions…
I’m like…
“WTF… is that a check?”
I was like, okay… what did they screw up on now?
Well just so I didn’t have my hopes up…
I decided to open the envelope up with my hands full of groceries…
Instead of waiting for the comedic irony to build up.
Open the envelope and I find out…
Yes…
I am getting money back….
Wait for it…
Wait for it…
I’m getting…

$1.08 back.

It’s like winning the lottery.
I was like.. wow.
This…
This is the luckiest day of my life.

I can finally get that bag of Fritos I’ve had my eye on for a while now…
And not just the regular kind…
We’re taking the “Scoops” variety baby…
Like the big time…
No more settling for “Dipsy Doodles” anymore.
We’re moving up in the world.
Yes sirry….
We’re moving up in this world.

To all those people that will more than likely see me this weekend…
Particularly this Sunday at my “job”…
I am apologizing ahead of time…

Yes…

I know it’s a week in advance…
But I’m just getting you prepared.

I will not be in the best of moods
although the atmosphere is more than likely gonna be “festive”.

I will have to, more than likely, sleep at my job from the night before…
Get, at most, like 5 hours of sleep…
Then be up…
Hopefully having somebody I know who might live near by…
Allow me to take a shower at their place.
If not…
I will be not be happy AND a mess…
And then…
Work, at least, 16-17 hours straight.

So again…
I would like to apologize…
But….
You have been warned.

I may be a bitch to talk to that day…
Or I may be completely incoherent…
Or maybe a little of both.

But again…
You have been warned.

Midnight Juggernauts - Dystopia
Recently got this CD and am in love.
Super mix of Indie Pop, Electronic and Electropop.
And very very Bowiesque at times.
Here’s the video to their single “Into The Galaxy”
But the entire album is gorgeous.
Enjoy.

Was waiting online at Popeye’s…
(Yes Popeye’s… and what? If there was KFC’s near by I’d rather go there…
But the nearest one is blocks away and it’s redunculously hot outside.)

After placing my order…
An older couple came up to the window and started their order…
She and he were wearing tank tops and shorts…
As she was up at the window…
He came up behind her and put his hands up to her back…
It looked like he was pressing her forward into the window.
Had no idea what he was doing…
Until I turned around fully to them and saw what he was doing.

He was trying to pop a blackhead on her back.
While waiting on line in Popeye’s.
My stomach was hurting already.
Cause I haven’t eaten all day.
But seeing him trying to squeeze the nasty stuff out of her back just…
Just pushed me over the edge.

I was like…
Give me my spicy nuggets and get me the hell out of here.

But as it is said….
“Don’t stop believing…”

While in the midst of reading the New York Times…
(Arts section of course…)
I am slammed in the face by the cover photo…
Of a Pinoy rocking out onstage with gratuitous drum kit flashing in the background.

I’m like…
“Who in the name of all that’s Imelda is that?”

Well guess what…
Journey…
Yes Journey…
has a new CD out…
Sans lead singer Steve Perry.
And the man who has taken his place?
Arnel Pineda.
(Such a distinct Pinoy last name… no really.)
A 40 year old Filipino who is…
Gasp…
Actually from the Philippines.
Dicovered on…
Gasp…
YouTube.

Suposedly Mr. Pineda strongly sounds like Steve Perry…
I, of course will have to peruse over the album…
(Thank you iTunes track preview…)
To judge for myself.

Journey will also be touring this summer…
In support of the new album…
“Revelation”
Which also includes a 2nd CD of re-recorded tracks from their catalogue…
And DVD.
(Of course there’s a DVD.)

Supporting bands for the tour…
Cheap trick and Heart.

Cheap trick AND Heart?
Don’t get me wrong…
I love me some Cheap Trick…
But Heart as a SUPPORTING band?
Oh my dear Ladies Wilson…
You are so much better than this…
Really…
Seriously…
Please don’t shatter “These Dreams” I have.
I haven’t stopped believing in you.
Journey on the other hand…
Well…
We’ll see.

Lets jump the shark…
Which is basically jumping the shark anyways…

If in a rush…
And a companion asks…
“What’s the hurry?”
The appropriate answer is…

“We only have 4 minutes to save the world.”

Hail Madge full of grace…
The world is with ye…
Blessed art thou amongst women…
And blessed are the fruit of your womb…
For they will be loaded…
