I haven't been maintaining my blog. I haven't been maintaining anything. I just want to sleep all day. I'm sensing the beginnings of one of those short-lived, unexplained depressions. I am, however, very stocked up with reading to last me through my blues. The other day, I went to a used book sale and bought 50 books for ten bucks! Many of them are antique editions of classics (you know, leather-bound with the gold foil) and the rest are contemporary books that I've always felt like I should read and never have. I started with Bridget Jones' Diary. This probably explains the depression...
On a side note (to all you other bloggers), have you ever noticed that the term "blog" is not in the blogger spell-check dictionary? Doesn't that seem odd? It bothers me. If anyone is going to recognize the term "blog" as a legitimate word, it should at least be blogger.com's own spellcheck.

Something To Be
I recently purchased Rob Thomas' "Something to Be". I am listening to it right now. Mr. Thomas never fails to "wow me" with his relavent lyrics and fun melodies. I personally like the title track, "When The Heartache Ends", and "Now Comes the Night" the best. I always suspected it, but he has proven himself to have been the driving force behind Matchbox 20. Congrats to Rob on a job very well done.

Ummm...?
I just sat here, staring at the screen for a full five minutes, without the slightest idea of what I should say. Even now, blank.
Well, I'm going to eat some ice cream instead. As soon as I think of something decent or interesting to say, I'll be back.

Hungry Like The Wolf
Today I decided to go to the McDonald's drive-thru. There aren't many lunch options on my side of town, so I frequent McDonald's, Burger King, Subway, and Quizno's. When you eat at the same places over and over again, you get to know the people who work lunch. Well, anyway, I'm at McDonald's and there's a new guy there. Well, he wasn't real swift, but I don't have high expectations for fast food employees. I ordered a two-cheeseburger meal, nothing big or messy. I open my bag, and there I find a GIGANTIC wad of napkins! I counted them. 14 napkins!!!! For ONE meal!!!! I thought it was kind of funny. Who knows.
One more thing. I really like Duran Duran's new CD. It's the kind of music that you dance like a kid to. You can't dance "cool" to Duran Duran. It's all about hopping and flailing your arms about. The funny thing is, this WAS my "cool" dancing the first time around in 1980-whatever.

Empty Spaces Fill Me Up With Holes
All my former enthusiasm for blogging is fizzling out. It's not that I don't like sharing. I'm running out of material, that's all. I guess I'm going through one of those "quiet times" in my life.
Today was more exciting than usual. Karen surprised me with an unexpected visit. We got a McFlurry and went parking. Hot. ;) Ha. We actually did sit at the duck pond and cry on each other's shoulders for a good long time though. Now that I don't have any roommates, it's nice to sit and talk about boys with someone every once in a while.
I also bought a Darth Vader mask with a voice changer and cool breathing sounds for my niece. She loves all of her lightsabers and always gets excited when she sees the Episode III teasers. The mask was too scary in person. She started crying and made me put it away. Oh well.
Final random thought : I was thinking about the last minute I spent as a teenager and the first minute I spent being 20, flying through the parking lot of Meijer in a cart. Thank you, Carney. I will never forget it. :)

Help! I'm LOST!
Ooh, tonight's LOST was a good one. What am I saying? Every LOST is a good LOST. I really hope Shannon is the next to ...ahem... "leave the show". I really don't like that character. Sayid is WAY too good for her. And I'm really starting to love Sawyer. He's too funny.
So what kinds of scarey things are lurking behind the hatch? Walt is a bit like the kid from "The Ring", isn't he. I know we won't find out for weeks... perhaps months... who knows, it could be years. And I'll wait impatiently.
I hope there aren't aliens under the hatch. I don't like aliens. I mean, I like alien shows. I'm a complete X-Files junkie. But the "grey" style freak me out a little. I think it's the tiny mouth and the long fingers. Icky.
Ugh. I can't take too many seasons of this!

Doggy Style
Got your attention, didn't I? Sorry, I hate to disappoint, but I'm going to.
(Randomly - I love the Google "special logos" they're fantastic.)
I'm in a surprisingly good mood considering my commute was an extra HOUR long (thank you, construction) and then a little white toy poodle ambushed my car as I drove up my driveway. (Um... my driveway is REALLY long.) He leapt in front of me and started circling around the car, really close so I couldn't see where he was. I couldn't hit the stupid little doggy. I ended up getting out of my car, and he crawled inside when I opened the door. I dragged him out and pushed him towards his house. Then I ran for my car and just started driving. He followed me up to my door. Stupid dog.
I was also feeling particularly flirty today. That's dangerous. I'm turning into Karen! Before you know it, I'll have FOUR guys fighting over me! I'll take the British Australian ;) (ha ha! Just kidding, Karibou!)
