For some reason, the past couple of weeks I've had it in my head that I need more Rolling Stones in my diet.

So, in lieu of eating any additional iron in my diet so I can friggin donate blood once this month (I've been turned down four times this month), I spent too many dollars at the Electric Fetus. Well, they gave me 20% off because I bought three or more items, so I didn't spend nearly as much as I could. I also put back many items that I had in my arms.


Ummm.. There was a huge crash and it looks like a seven foot long branch from one of our trees in the front yard just almost landed on Kiko. She's fine other than being quite startled.


Anyhoo, I perused the vinyl section and picked up four albums and put three back. I got the newly remastered "Some Girls" album by the Rolling Stones. I am already thoroughly enjoying it. After much wandering through the CD aisles and restraining myself from buying a second copy of Cold Cranking Amps' "Anxiety Blanket" CD, I also picked up a Rolling Stones mix of R&B covers called "Out of Our Heads" on CD, the Pixies' "Bossanova" and Black Francis's "SVN FNGRS".

I was entirely fed up with the radio the past couple of days and had recently cleaned my car out and only had Frank Black's "Teenager of the Year" which is awesome, but gets old the hundredth time you hear it in a row. So I needed some new fodder as Tim's not done copying all my CDs to hard disk yet.

It's been a long time since I've written a music nerd post. huh.

It is day 2 of my diet relaunch.

I believe the photos from our User Group meeting last week were the big kicker.

So, it is day 2 and I am hungry and I just ate. :( The cat and I have something in common: we both lick the black plastic bowl thingie for those SmartOnes dinners clean. What I don't get, she'll lick and lick and lick until the thing is stuck under my desk and she can't quite reach it anymore.

Dad made a drive-by visiting this week. He arrived around 6pm on Tuesday and left around 5:30 am on Wednesday. He had just finished his "gut bomb" at Burger King (his terminology) before he got back to my house and so was too full to have any of the brownies I made especially for his birthday.

I'm not sore about it, really, except that we don't usually have brownies or many other types of refined sugar in our house. Otherwise I will eat it all. So now I am stuck with a pan of brownies (of which I've probably ate 1/4 already). Stupid brownies. Stupid, fattening, delicious brownies with chocolate frosting. I told Tim to bring them to work, but I think he forgot and then gave the excuse that he wants to eat them. He better eat the whole damn thing, that skinny bastard. Mom is arriving tomorrow evening, so she better help, too.

I think she yelled at my dad because Wednesday night he called me and apologized for not eating any of the brownies. heh

I have to somehow convince myself to do my homework tonight so I don't have to work on it when Mom is here. This will be a very difficult task as I have started a new crochet project and am a touch excited about it. Plus, I'm a big lazy ass.

My cubicle at work has a view of the Mississippi river out the big wall of windows. So we had a nice view of the crazy tornado storm that passed through yesterday afternoon. All the different offices in the building emptied to the corridor outside ours by the brick stairwell and we watched as the sky went from gray to black to yellow to blue to white. No damage to our building or my house. Trees are uprooted all over the place, though. Our yard just has extra downed branches and that's about it.

I think my best argument for not putting off doing my homework is that by doing my homework, I have a good excuse to continue to put off putting the laundry away. Welcome to my brain.

update: I have the exercises completed but now I have to read two case studies and report on them. Ugh. I am not interested by case studies. They always ask stupid questions at the end that are just odd. Maybe I'll do those tomorrow morning....
