  • Rough Day

    It's been a rough day.  I got up at sunrise because I had a cat on my back.  It seems they love to crawl on me while I sleep.  They love to knead their claws in my back and guess who didn't have a shirt on last night because he was warm.  I stand up and felt dizzy and then the blood started, bloody nose.  AWESOME!  The blood got all over my sheets so I had to do laundry.  After cleaning up and throwing sheets in the laundry, I decided I needed to get to preliminary work on the garden.  I planted two blueberry bushes and two of those upside down tomato plants.  I hope this year no one decides to steal one of those tomato plants.  Yes, I had a topsy turvy tomato planter stolen last year.  Bunch of savages in this town.  Then after cleaning I had to go out and work for the census.  I've been doing that because the teaching gigs aren't plentiful at this time of the year.  I went out to do follow-ups and I had a huge clusterfuck of a mess in addresses and people responding with the wrong forms.  I was called a "n-word(I won't write it) lover" once again...that brings the tally that I have been called the n-word to 4 times.  I was stung by a bee.  I was bit by a dog.  A woman stopped me and told me her life story because she knew my grandfather.  My grill wouldn't light when I tried to make lunch.  I don't want to leave the comfort of my home because I fear I would get struck by lightning even though there isn't a cloud in the sky.  Oh I suppose there is the chance I'd get electrocuted in my house once again.  So what do I do when I have days like today?  I remember these two things:

  • Monday Mash-Up Madness

    Here's another batch of mash-ups for you my pretties.

    This mash-up features "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen and "Brass Monkey" by The Beastie Boys.  "Brass Monkey" is such a fun song but I think the best form of Brass Monkey is the drink.  You mix equal parts vodka, rum, and orange juice.  Oh well the song pays homage to the drink and not the movie from 1948. 

    You know this Ke$ha has been really growing on me.  I don't know why.  This one takes her song "Tik Tok" and mashes it with another crazy broad's song, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper.  I think this may be why Ke$ha is so odd...

    This is my WTF Mash-Up of the Week...I should really make that a regular feature.  It takes "Hustler Musik" by Lil Wayne...or it said Weezy but even though I have turned my back on mainstream rap I know that is Lil Wayne even though I know the only Weezy is Louise Jefferson...yeah, what you gonna do about that Lil Wayne?  OK so my rapper posturing aside..."Hustler Musik" is mashed with the theme song from The Office as performed by the Scrantones.  One of my favorite Office quotes is in this song: Count Choculitis….Why did you write that down, Jim? Is it because you know I love Count Chocula?
    Oh, Dwight, you so crazy!

    Who wants to see one of my commutes?  Well you can see part of it by watching these videos.  I randomly found them while surfing around youtube.  I think these videos are fairly cool because they are from a video camera that was mounted on a motorcycle.

    Have a great day!  I love you....ok that was a little too soon...I really like you.
