Let’s go fill your tummy up with sugary niblets, okay?

Yesterday, we had a Company Meeting. It was two hours, but I made it about 47 minutes. And then I died. I don’t know what they expected to happen when they talked about financial for over 10 minutes.

After the C.M., we had a BBQ outside in the courtyard. Of course. Don’t you do that at your P.O.E.? I had chicken, it was all very nice, and a good time was had by all. Afterwards, however, my stomach felt very rumbly. And not in a good way. You have to understand, I can eat just about anything. That doesn’t mean I will, but I really don’t have digestive issues. Not even with Taco Bell. Considering I had my gall bladder out about 12 years ago, that’s pretty cool. A lot of people have issues with certain foods after. Especially cheese and other high fat foods. Not me. I love the high fats!

Jodi: soemthing is making my tummy rumbly. not like … in a good way.

Evildeb: interesting

Jodi: i can feel my guts.

Jodi: it’s weird.

Jodi: it’s like… my guts are ALIVE!!!

Evildeb: maybe your guts are trying to tell you something

Jodi: well, it’s not “feed me” wouldn’t it be cool if i had PSYCHIC GUTS?

Evildeb: I’m not sure

Evildeb wasn’t feeling too hot after the BBQ either, and we briefly entertained a fantasy that everyone would get food poisoning and have to go home early. But the truth is, we didn’t eat the same things. So it was probably just our poor attitudes making us queasy. I asked KK and she felt fine. So I explained to her about the possibility of my guts being psychic

KK: psychic guts?

Jodi: yes, and even now they are trying to tell me something.

KK: and they see the future?

Jodi: Well, no. I mean, they don’t have eyes, KK. They are guts. Sheesh. It’s more like they intuit things.

KK: don’t they use chicken guts to tell the future in voo-doo?

Jodi: Why, I believe they do! And I had chicken at lunch! I have PSYCHIC VOODOO CHICKEN GUTS IN ME!

KK: that’s it… you’ve come down with PSYCHIC VOODOO CHICKEN GUTS!

If only I could figure out what my Psychic Voodoo Chicken Guts were trying to tell me.

Some of them just accepted it… some where pretty annoyed… and a few quietly plotted revenge.

When I have trouble coming up with a blog entry, I redesign the blog theme. That being done, I am now searching for other blog technologies I could tweak or add, because I still don’t have a good blog post.

I was extremely crabby yesterday and everything annoyed me. My job, my hair, the pants I was wearing, my breakfast, all the other drives on my roads, oxygen… you name it. I tried to come up with things that made me happy, to counter-balance all this annoyance, and all I came up with was power washers and thunderstorms. Once I got to “2” something would annoy me and I would lose focus of the task at hand.

So… ummm… I’ll try to better later and actually write a post.

The ants say “hi!”

So does Amelia.

Then and Now: Episode 28 You’ll be warm in my coat

I think this is a catchy tune. I have very vague memories of my older brother trying to use my singing this song against me, by telling my father and stepmother. A kind of “Oh yeah? Well, do you know what kind of music your DAUGHTER is listening to?” type of distraction technique, including the lyrics to this song and also John Cougar’s Hurt So Good. I don’t remember it working real well for him.
Never Say Never – Romeo Void

I’ve been working a cd of cover songs for River Selkie, and one evening, Mr. Moon was helping me by sending me some good ones.
jodi: more people should cover Never Say Never
mr. moon: there’s not been a truer statement around the world in the past hour
jodi: THANK YOU!
mr. moon: mark it – move on to the next hour
mr. moon: we gotta mark! recorded!

Then and Now: Episode 27 Big Big Love

I’ve been keeping this song in the back of my mind, for a while, as a possible T&N. Pretty much everyone I know, in my peer group, loves the Pixies. LOOOOVES the Pixies. I wanted to use this song, in particular, because it’s the song a 15 year old Louise heard in some Scottish dance club that made her an instant Pixies fan.
Sunday, Louise, Tessa, KK and I went to see LoudQuietLoud at the SIFF. So it seemed like a good time to do a Pixies Then and Now. By the way, if you love the Pixies, Frank Black, or even music in general, it’s a very good film. Playing at a film festival near you!
Gigantic – Pixies

Wil, who knows everything about Frank Black and the Pixies, gave this song to me. I think it’s particularly delightful the way they sing “gig-antic.”
Gigantic – Wakusei

And the Reel Big Fish? Well, that’s just for me, because they make me happy.

I’m going to take your brain out of your head and wash it and scrub it and make it clean.

Mornin’ internet buddies!

My P.O.E. is very generous with the PTO. [Personal Time Off] I enjoy saving it up and looking at my balance, reveling in the fact that I could take three weeks off if I wanted to. Or I could get really sick. One of the two. But, as much fun as that is, I’ve decided it might be MORE fun to use some of it here and there. I also decided that it would be fun to get a massage today*. And then I thought… hey, why not go ahead and get a body scrub/moisturizing treatment? As long as you getting a massage? So it’s off to the nekkid lady spa for me! Evildeb is leaving work early to join me. But before you get too excited, our differing “procedures” are scheduled in such away that we won’t be spending too much time together naked. And we prefer it that way.

* Last Saturday I cleaned and cleaned. Seriously. Those of you who have been in my car in the past … oh… two years would be shocked at it now. I had 3 other people, besides myself, in it on Sunday. Anyway, I cleaned and cleaned and I was a little sore in the back on Monday when I made this plan. I’m not anymore, but I might be doing some more chores tomorrow, so I thought a massage might loosen me up, stretch me out, get me ready for cleaning. Right?

evildeb, music

Hey man, now you are really living.

Sunday was a big day for the GWEMAC. Busy day, much to do, many things planned. I’ll start with the last thing first, since it really was my favorite. Except for maybe the Cock Dishes part, mostly because I do so love to laugh, but I’ll explain that later. Rounding out our day was the Eels Show at the Showbox.

If you know me, you know I don’t really like crowds, and I don’t like strangers in my personal space. So, when I tell you that next time I see the Eels, I plan on wearing less restrictive, more breathable, clothing, comfortable shoes, my hair up, and no heavy handbag so I can GIT UP FRONT AND ROCK, you’ll understand how much I enjoyed the show.

We arrived after Eels took the stage, because of the aforementioned busy day. I think, that my favorite part was the Security Guy. He’s our New Boyfriend. Technically, KK called him first, but going to the show was my idea, so I think we’ll have to split him. Tessa and Louise are out of luck unless they want to fight us for him. I don’t know what his name is, but at first I thought he really was just stage security guy, he was a big musclely guy with a shaved head, biker glasses and mutton chops, tattoos and a black tshirt that said SECURITY on it. But then he started to dance. During some songs, he would just stand there, with his arms crossed over his chest, looking out on the audience. Often he would say some kind of non-sequitor in between songs. However, when he started to dance, he really got into it, it was awesome. The dancing sometimes had a theme. One time, he was martial arts dancing. Another, he was boxing and while dancing. Sometimes he sang, and sometimes he played an instrument. But then he’d just go back to standing there. Between songs, he would call the lights up, and E would point people out to him. He’d snap on a new rubber glove and start hi-fiving the people that E pointed out. Once, he very gingerly brought up a heckler guy, being very careful and courteous, and then he bum rushed him off the other side of the stage.

All in all, a great show. E sang a Screamin Jay Hawkins song and you can’t go wrong with that. I’ll talk about the rest of the day later.

Ok, today is Lloyd and Evildeb’s 21st wedding anniversary. Everyone say Happy Anniversary to them.
