Sing Blue Silver

Oh Hells Yes

See back in oh say....1981 I was HUGE Duranie. My nickname was DDFF...Duran Duran Fanatic Fan. So I am predisposed to liking this. This makes me wanna tanked on Cuba Libre and dance on table at a disco in Florence Italy.

I repeat.

Oh hells yeah.

Can I Break The Spell Of The Typical?

I hate the new Old Navy commercial with the *twee little beyotch singing about borrowing her sweater if you are chilly. I just hate it. I also hate James Blunt. Frankly, I hate twee. I am sick unto death of the cutesy bedroom slipper bimbos (read Colbie Caillat, Regina Specktor) and ANY sensitive new age guy with a hard on to be the next James Taylor. Just. Stop. Now.

In addition, I hate meetings that have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with my job. You know the kind where the co-worker who ALWAYS derails it goes off on a tangent about some minutiae of process that has nothing at all to do with your job and no one reigns them in. We have two of those co-workers. I know my face is a picture in STFU in those meetings. I just know it.

I also hate Everclear and Art's incessant whining about his absent father, blah blah blah. Childhood is something you live through and then spend the rest of your lift getting over. Move on Art, you ain't special.

Whew! Ok I feel better. I am working A TON this month in an attempt to catch up my bank account and my workload after being ill so much in September. So I am cranky :P

On a cheery note, our charity auction process kicks off next week. I love working on the auction. This will be my 4th year. First two I was the donation coordinator. Last year and this year I am the accounting coordinator. I love 10 Key's. Probably why I like my job so much. I get to 10 Key quite a bit. It's soothing.

I know. I'm weird.

I LOVE the song Typical by Mute Math. Go youtube it.

Oh and Greek festival is coming up on the 5th of Oct. I swapped days and I have Kidlet that day. Look for a food oriented TT this week. And now, off to work for me. It is cake day. Wooters.

** Just for Belle the definition of Twee!

'Twee" is most definitely a real word, and means, as you've guessed, "overly sweet" in a figurative sense, precious, overly-sentimental or mawkish. Something that is "twee" is so achingly adorable and cloyingly cuddly that any rational adult will feel nauseated, not charmed. The creepy and inexplicably popular "wide-eyed child" paintings popular in the U.S. during the 1960s were a good example of "twee."

Thursday Thirteen #29 - There She Goes Again

I have an HORRID song stuck in my head. Europe...The Final Countdown. GAH! Help me!! But of course it did give me the idea for this TT. Enjoy folks! Here we have some of my all time most favorite 80's 1 Hit Wonders.
