WHO DOES THAT?

Someone keeps doing this at work and I finally caught the evidence on camera:

Does that built-in Kleenex box holder look like a trashcan? The obvious answer is "No." but someone keeps putting garbage in there! Meanwhile, there's a real trashcan right next to it.

What's up, work people?

SCENES FROM GOTH NIGHT

This is the band that played before us, Glass Doll featuring guitar and violinist, Zed:

This is the crowd. There was a lot of fishnet happening:

This is Jeff flipping off our poster. It was funny:

This is me and Wyatt:

Ok, so I could have looked gothy-er. I promise - if we ever get invited to play NYC's premiere Grunge Night I will get the costume spot on and I'll be the one posting pics of myself from high school.

I LOST 20 POUNDS AT THE WILCO SHOW

Last night Wyatt, Jeff and I, escorted by the lovely Whitney, went to see Wilco and Low at Warsaw. It was FUCKING GOOD. So fucking good, in fact, that it has widened the range of all things good. There is a new high and it is seeing Wilco at Warsaw.

If you haven't been to Warsaw, it is a venue located in the Polish National Home in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. They serve pierogies, kielbasa and Zywiec (proper pronunciation: zee-vee-etch) in the bar area. The room with the stage is not unlike my elementary school cafetorium - a big, high-ceilinged box with a raised stage up front. It's VERY small for Wilco. They sold out two nights in a row at Radio City, for crying in the sink.

It was crowded. And hot. And sweaty. Wyatt had to go to the back after a while in search of water and air and I don't blame him. It was tight up there. Here's a view from where we were:

wilco2

They played old stuff (a couple songs, at least, from Being There) and my favorite stuff from the new album. They even played HOODOO VOODOO. I couldn't believe it.

Tweeds was in great voice and in a great mood. He was all smiley and stuff!

The only drawback to the evening (besides the heat) was something I've complained about before: people singing along. It is so annoying. There are times and places and you should know that by now, you stupid hippies.

HOLD MUSIC CAN BE GOOD SOMETIMES

This song was playing while I was on hold with the Duane Reade pharmacy. I had forgotten how good of a song it is. Back in the day, I was in the Huey Lewis and the News fan club. I've since moved on but it's important to look back every once in a while to your roots. Where you came from. Thank god for Youtube.

This is a great summer video full of great summer fun! Actually, everyone's having great summer fun except Huey, who's heartbroken. But, you know he gets the girl in the end!! Not to worry!!

Watch for the Breakup Breakdown-like seance scene! We totally ripped off the News without even knowing it.

DON'T BE LIKE THAT

MarthaStewart-744784
I'm home sick because I have a goiter growing out of my neck and I'm watching Martha Stewart. I should mention, before I go any further, that I really like Martha Stewart. I've been a fan since way back when. But, today things changed a little. Today, Martha Stewart bad-mouthed the New York Yankees. She claims to be a fan and then says that she's "angry" about how the season is going. She then alludes to the fact that the problem is managerial. No real fan would express anger at their team. You support your team through the tough times. You sympathize with their hardships.

And, how can she say anything bad about Joe Torre? He led the team to win the AL East 10 times not to mention 4 World Series'! And, he's never been incarcerated. Can you say that, Martha? Hmmm??

I call you out Martha: when was the last time you actually watched a Yankees game? Do you know who their starting first baseman is?

I love you Martha. I do. Your Pate Brisee recipe is the one I always use but, please, don't be a such a goddamn poseur.

WORKIN' FOR THE WEEKEND PART II

On Friday someone asked me if Wyatt was going to be able to make it to an event on Saturday. My reply was: "No, he won't be able to make it. He's working for the weekend." And, do you know what??? Nobody batted an eyelash. It made perfect sense to everyone involved.

HAH! I was right.

EVERYBODY'S WORKIN' FOR THE WEEKEND

What the hell do these lyrics mean? That everybody has to work on Friday and Saturday nights, or that everybody's working all week just to get to the weekend so that they can party like Loverboy? I've always thought it was the former but Jeff and Wyatt strongly disagree and weren't shy about letting me know. I leave it up to you to reach your own interpretation.

loverboy

Everyone's watching, to see what you will do
Everyone's looking at you, oh
Everyone's wondering, will you come out tonight
Everyone's trying to get it right, get it right

Everybody's working for the weekend
Everybody wants a little romance
Everybody's goin' off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance, oh
You want a piece of my heart
You better start from start
You wanna be in the show
Come on baby lets go

Everyone's looking to see if it was you
Everyone wants you to come through
Everyone's hoping it'll all work out
Everyone's waiting they're holding out

Everybody's working for the weekend
Everybody wants a little romance
Everybody's goin' off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance, oh
You want a piece of my heart
You better start from start
You wanna be in the show
Come on baby lets go

(quick break)

You want a piece of my heart
You better start from start
You wanna be in the show
Come on baby lets go

You want a piece of my heart
You better start from start
You wanna be in the show
Come on baby lets go
