She'll be comin' 'round the mountain
A few things...
Tori Amos is putting out her 9th studio album in May. For those of you who may not know, I'm a big Tori fan; however, her past few albums have been kinda bleh to me, mostly because they've been heavy on the 'adult contemporary' and light on the traditional Tori. Her website features the new album artwork, and, it's wonderfully subversive. I'm hoping this is an implication that the music is going to be better than the soft mushy la-la stuff she put out on the 2 previous albums. I know the first 4 albums by heart --- but then things changed. Or maybe I changed? Regardless, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some good ol' angry, pro-girl, recovering christian, in-your-face Tori music! Is that too much to ask?
Home ownership is whirling around in my head. I'm addicted! I can't stop window shopping for housing. Real estate consumerism has me by the tail. Sure, I've investigated the realities of buying. I have good credit and a steady job. However, I can apparently afford house payments, but can't get a loan because I am "cash poor". This is sadly true. If I lost my job today (gods forbid!) I'd be out on the street in a month. So, I've gotta get this horse off my back. Stat. Or throw myself on the mercy of the FHA.
Trivia Night. Baby G and I are going with friends to play trivia tonight at some lesbo watering hole. Should be interesting. Hopefully the number of mullets and bois won't outnumber Baby G and I and our posse. We'll probably be the only "normal" looking mo's in the room. C'est la vie. It's just too hard to be a hipster these days. Too much attention to hair styling...

I'm looking at places in the country...ya'll will probably have a house by the time I'm seen 'round these parts again. But, if not....there's still the idea of our commune!!
...and by the way, it's said booooooiiiiiiyyyyy!!!! You know, like from a Bel Biv Devoe or Candyman song. And I'm ashamed to admit that I have found them cute sometimes (I know, feel free to smack me)
we do need some Tori with more of some her old skool flava.
oh good show, mellen--let us do all the work in putting together the commune, and then just slip on in. i see how it is.
turns out, we didn't check out the lesbo trivia after all. seems these folks are kinda hardcore (about the trivia that is), and that there needs to be more organizing involved in this---like employing secret weapons on our team such as the mellen, and our ever-faithful straight collegue, abbenormal.
What kind of trivia are we talking here? Top Five movies at the box office trivia or what Hollywood actor was CC Beck's original Captain Marvel (Shazam!) based upon trivia?
If the former, I have several training tips. If the latter, well, you may wish to attend but only for the sheer entertainment and thirst-quenching properties of the establishment's potables.
No matter what, though, one way to send a message to the other teams is to show up with overalls painted with your likeness (just like Bell Biv DeVoe). To quote the band, you girls would be poison.
I am kinda sorry we chickened out last night, but thanks to a ditzy but sweet waitress, we had a lovely meal and some frosty libations.
I do want to check out this wacky trivia bidness, but I do need the power of Grayskull, I mean, Mellen & Abbe, on our team. I can tell you what Britney Spears did this morning, but knowing the name of the character Jeremy Piven played in "Singles"? Not so much.
That is hardcore trivia. Yikes.
Tricia and I attended a Tori concert in NC. I only know several of her songs by heart and she played three of them. And one was an extended version of one I kinda knew. So we weren't disappointed but we weren't "that was the best ever!" because most of the stuff was off the Bees album. (wasn't it called that?)
I'm half excited about her new stuff.
About house hunting: join us in Wimberely!! The main property we are looking at has 11 acres to the side that are open! No structure and it's a bit far from your current job. But you can open a hog farm!

Holy crap! I'd love to live in the country; however, i also love living with Baby G who is not a lovah of the country. Well, at least not of living there. If she ever tires of my antics, I will come and live with you and Mr Wonderful, and I'll even help raise the hogs. Woot!
Girl- If I can buy a house then you two can. I know the market is different down there, but don't give up. Hope all is well!
Say J in Memphis last week- she says holla- not really- -but you get the point.

I might just pick your brain about your house buying experience one of these days, K. I also told J we need to head to H.S. again for some pampering. Perhaps this summer?
I'm in much need of a HS trip. I'd love to host anytime you girls feel up for a road trip. This summer would be great! Miss you guys.
