out from under my log

not being in the forefront of writers on this planet, i assumed that if i neglected my blog for a few extra days then no one would notice. guess i was wrong about that, and i'm happy to say that i was actually missed. missed! woohoooooo!!! does this mean i have a tiny little following going? i rock.

here's how this week has gone so far:
no, we didn't do anything special for VD as a couple... unless you count me forcing derek to step on my butt and use me as a footstool so i could loosen up my "old lady hip" and then pass out (face first) on the floor. damn, i shoulda vaccuumed beforehand.

but i did get a few valentines in the mail from friends, including the coolest tag from zhen. i DO like foofoo things, girlie. EEE!

it would seem that i'm addicted to F-U-D. i have been eating like an elephant. speaking of elephants and the things they supposedly love, did you check your peanut butter yet? do you have the scary PB? unfortunately, we do have a jar of the scary peanut butter. fortunately, we had not eaten any of it yet. in it's place, i have consumed several pounds of clementine oranges and the equivalent of 75 large chickens. seriously. lots and lots of oranges. i'm turning into an easy-to-peel orange. ever get on a food kick and ride it until the food kick is beaten into the ground? i do.

there is a crafting circle made up of some people from work. i went this week and didn't feel like a complete imbecile. people took home some of my lucky sharpie stones (see how i'm getting a trademark going already... by stealing another trademark in the process?) and asked me to make some other things for them. garsh, but it seems that they liked my crappe. with any luck, i can trade some of my wares for a pillow shaped like a uterus.

lastly, i've been pondering cover songs. as mary says, "if you don't have anything good to bring to the song, then just leave it alone." yes yes yes i agree with that one. on the other hand, there are a few songs out there where i actually PREFER a certain cover version.

1. dear prudence - siouxsie and the banshees
2. tainted love - soft cell
3. i forgot what the third one was, but i'll probably think of it later on when i've had some sleep and don't have a cat hair stuck in my eye. because holy shit, i had to get up early today, and i didn't even go to bed until almost three in the morning, so it's hard for me to be coherent when i'm writing sometimes, but it's easy to be full of candor and babble. so anyway, which ones do YOU like?


special shout-out of the day:
happy birthday to my brother chris.
he is an old fart, too.
