Monday, monday...


I was reminded tonight that I -even though I love music -do not attend a lot of live music shows. The last one I went to was the 1997 Lilith Fair. Yep, been a while. As I was thinking about it -and it was a hellva show by the way, I discovered I liked Fiona Apple. I went because I love Sarah MacLachlan, but Apple put on a great show, her piano work was amazing, angry, vibrant. So, I am putting up a video to remind people she is not just some crazy save-the-turkeys chick, she was acutally a great musician. I really like 'Sleep to Dream' or 'Shadowboxer' better than the 'Criminal' video, but I love the naughty, dirty, underage Calvin Klein porno movie set feel of this video and the lyrics are so good.

I decided that there was no point to being angry with the waffle --so I smothered it in syrup and ate it, like usual. Pretty normal.

I had a really nice day off. Slept in, got a great e-mail from my bestie that really set me straight on a few things (she is so damn smart, it's just shameful sometimes), got a cute joke from the BF and tentative agenda for Friday date, got some alone time to myself, chatted with sister A on-line, ran some errands with the air on in my car singing to the radio, had a marvelous dinner with my mom and sister D, then a nice alone drink with my mom. Tried out my new sunscreen --no sunburn, but yeah, non-greasy -whatever.

I was feeling super thin so I strutted into the mall today, as well. Wow, nothing quite like a reality check with the anorexic walking sticks disguised as 15 year old girls trolling the mall to make ya feel like a waddling narwhal, so I got a hair cut. The Fro needed it badly and it meant I didn't have to browse clothing racks too near any prancing skeletons. It looks really cute --I got compliments from everybody that saw me so either the previous hair was out-of-control bad or it really does look very cute. I hope it is the latter, of course.

I did get a new swimsuit, but it is one of sister K's old ones. Which is pretty cool. I think it totally looked better on her than it does on me, but she has a longer torso than I have too. Still it did look pretty damn good. Now I just need a place to wear it -preferable in doors. Hmmm. Will have to think on that one.

I love the Fiona Apple too. But yes, you need to see some live music! As much as you love it I'm surprised it's been that long. :)

Sounds like you had a fabulous day off!
