Neko Case - We've Never Met

"We've Never Met"

"Oh my darling, oh my darling
How can you forget?
All the love we had between us
Now it's like we've never met

Oh it kills me, how it kills me
When I think I held you up
You were golden, I was blind
With your poison in my blood

Bittersweet are the memories
That make old lovers pine
But I'll trade all the memories
Just to have your heart in mine

Everybody's talking to me
But they just can't explain
Disappeared from all the pages
And nothing seems the same

Was a time I thought I knew you
When I looked you in the eye
Now the same eyes look right through me
You're too cool to see me cry

Bittersweet are the memories
That make old lovers pine
But I'll trade all the memories
Just to have your heart in mine

Oh my darling, oh my darling
How can you forget
All the love we had between us
Now it's like we've never met

You were golden and I was blind
Now it's like we've never met"

Love this song.. so good.

Hats Off.

Rogan Maharata Hooded Scarf (grey one) is so rad, i'm going to have to make a DIY from an old thriftstore sweater. The blue one is by Hortensia.

Balmain-esque?

hmm.. interesting. A def resemblance.

Code of Hammurabi

"
* If anyone ensnares another, putting a ban upon him, but he can not prove it, then he that ensnared him shall be put to death.

* If anyone brings an accusation against a man, and the accused goes to the river and leaps into the river, if he sinks in the river his accuser shall take possession of his house. But if the river proves that the accused is not guilty, and he escapes unhurt, then he who had brought the accusation shall be put to death, while he who leaped into the river shall take possession of the house that had belonged to his accuser.

* If anyone brings an accusation of any crime before the elders, and does not prove what he has charged, he shall, if a capital offense is charged, be put to death.

* If a builder builds a house for someone, and does not construct it properly, and the house which he built falls in and kills its owner, then the builder shall be put to death.(Another variant of this is, If the owner's son dies, then the builder's son shall be put to death.)

* If a man gives his child to a nurse and the child dies in her hands, but the nurse unbeknown to the father and mother nurses another child, then they shall convict her of having nursed another child without the knowledge of the father and mother and her breasts shall be cut off.

* If anyone steals the minor son of another, he shall be put to death.

* If a man takes a woman to wife, but has no intercourse with her, this woman is no wife to him.

* If a man strikes a pregnant woman, thereby causing her to miscarry and die, the assailant's daughter shall be put to death.

There are 282 such laws in the Code of Hammurabi, each usually no more than a sentence or two. The 282 laws are bracketed by a Prologue in which Hammurabi introduces himself, and an Epilogue in which he affirms his authority and sets forth his hopes and prayers for his code of laws." from Wikipedia.. If you have a lot of time on your hands you can read them all here Hammurabi was the sixth king of Babylon and he wrote one of the first codes of law ever.. I wonder if we still went by these rules how things would be?

Meow..this guy's a dreamboat. pic from here. Says his name is Cedric. Now if I can find a guy to put this song on a jukebox and play it for me -it's ON. One of my fav's from Malo "Suavecito" in 1972 that was written by timbale player Richard Bean, who initially wrote it as a poem for a girl in his high school algebra class. The song has been called "The Chicano National Anthem""-wiki. Funny, 1972 is the year I was born as well.

Uh OH I DID IT!

Guess what guys? I stuck up for myself today and told this wicked witch I work with to FUCK OFF..Literally. I also added a "Ok Sweetie" at the end.Oops, my bad, did I SAY THAT? UGH! I'm sick and cranky and sick of how she treats everybody like caca. One of our Sales guys witnessed the whole smart ass word smack-down. My old co-worker would have been SO proud of me. I had diarrhea of the mouth and I'm NOT taking Pepto Bismal for it. Now do I email the Owner and tell him?

This movie was CRAZY.

"I Wanna Be Your Dog"

Expensive headgreat- oops typo. Headgear. I used to look like a bobblehead when I'd wear a helmet.

These are cool but what hap's when you have to go to the bathroom? Do you have to strip down to your panties ? Seems easier to just climb out of your sleeping bag now that I think of it-one less step. That's one reason why I hate wearing jumpsuits , even tho they look SO rad -I end up in the bathroom pretty much naked and with my luck a person will walk in on me-like they did at the thriftstore up in Payson. Luckily that time I wasn't wearing a jumpsuit.

are those painted on?

oh NO they caught me picking my nose. Here's a pic of my Sister on Halloween. She got all the boobs in the family NOT FAIR. I've been waiting for mine to grow since I was a teen. I used to try her training bra's on when she wasn't around (we shared a bedroom the whole time we lived at home).. God knows I still fit in training bra's.

I think it'd be neat to learn how to pickle stuff so the next time I decide to eat a whole jar of pickled asparagus while doing tequila shots I could replace it on the cheap.

Did I post this already? I'm still mad at my Mom for throwing my rad vintage jacket away. It was green suede with shearling. My Dad tossed a pair of knee hi Doc Marten's once on me as well. They were full of mud so I left them outside, for a few months, that is. I'd dress in old men's clothes from the thriftstore when I was in high school and my Mom hated it. So when I'd put them in the laundry they'd magically disappear. I prob already told you this, I tell every story at least 3 times or more.

As for the Dentist yesterday... well, it wasn't TOO bad. I could taste blood all night and I can still taste the smell of the tooth being grounded off. I even brushed my teeth and used mouthwash and I can still taste it. yuck. They talked me out of the Silver Crown. They made me look in the mirror 3 times and smile and try to imagine a silver tooth. It was even $60 cheaper-but as soon as they told me that it might be super sensitive to metals etc, I said ok SOLD on the regular one. There's nothing worse than feeling a metal object on a filling -ESP TIN FOIL.

My cell phone was out of service all night last night. You don't realize how much you rely on it until it's gone. It was as if I was cut off from the world, esp since by the time I get home I am so sick of being online that I don't want to see a computer. I'm trying to get the cell phone company to give me some kind of credit but all they are telling me is that they can only give me a $5 credit. WTF? $5 for 11 hours of outage? Lame.

" Leonard B: Hi Cindy , welcome to T-Mobile live Chat. I’m Leonard and I will be happy to assist you. Please give me a moment to review your question.

Leonard B: I can certainly see your concern with this outage, Cindy. Please allow me two to three minutes while I check into this for you.

Leonard B: What I can certainly do for you is put through a five dollar netout credit for you for the inconvenience.

cindy d: $5?

cindy d: that's it?

cindy d: i was unable to use my phone that whole time.

cindy d: how about $30 credit

cindy d: I'm bringing 3 family members over to T-mobile for the family pack and this wont be a good example for them

Leonard B: I understand it is a huge inconvenience, but regretfully, I am unable to do more than the five dollars. The policy will not let me do more than that. The only time we are able to do more is if it goes over 24 hours or 48 hours.

cindy d: argh.

cindy d: i don't know of any other service that goes out for that long. I've never had a prob such as this with any other companies.

Leonard B: I completely understand, Cindy, my phone did not work last night either. And I do not have a home phone. I can completely understand your frustration, and I really wish I could do more of a credit for you.

cindy d: they should give you a credit as well

cindy d: but more than $5 ahah.

cindy d: that seems like a silly amount to offer your customers.

Leonard B: Regretfully, since I am an employee I wont even get that. I just get a couple bonus minutes.

cindy d: that sux"

I'm horrible at being a super bitch when I need to be. I can't sleep. I took two night time cold medicine and it did NOTHING for me. I woke up at 3 am and could not fall back asleep. I guess going to bed at 8:45 ish doesn't help. What a Grandma I am.

Uncanny!

ADORABLE!!!! I love this so much. If I am able to get some money to buy people x-mas gifts i'd buy this for somebody. Found here via this great blog OH and a stylist from Vidal Sassoon called me back about being a hair guinea pig and coloring my hair so Friday after work I have to stop by the Salon.

Today at 3 I am going to get a crown put on my tooth. I kinda think I should get a gold crown-that'd look tough. Esp when I smiled, it would glow and make a shiny star in a photo when a flash went off. Maybe I will ask about it. It doesn't help that I'm coming down with a sore throat. Watched the Crips VS Bloods documentary last night. It still doesn't make much sense to me. Why fight against each other? Why not work together to make your neighborhood safe, esp for your children? It also said that 80% of drug users are White and something like 1 in 4 black men will end up in jail. CRAZY. To top it all off i'm SICK ugh.



HAHAHAHA. This is the first thing I thought of when you said to meet you halfway Soup Can.Funny.

Weekend Randoms

Went to TT Roadhouse Friday night. It was actually pretty fun. Saturday I got up super duper early and tried to lay around bcuz I couldn't fall back asleep and I didn't want to get up quite yet. It's just not as fun to lay around in your bed if you are all alone. I know I have my dogs and all but it's diff. Then my friend Virginia came over with her dog and we hiked the big mountain behind my house. Went back to V's house and then walked to Ania's and was happy to see Janet AND Sonia were there as well. Ania gave me her G-ma's old blanket from Italy. I totally forgot to take a pic of it, it's so wacky/great. Saturday was a good day. I ended up not going out tho for Halloween and we had ZERO trick or treaters at our house. I reckon it's because our house is on a hill and it looks like a decrepid old house (compared to the $700,000 homes that surround us). We are the black sheep.

Attended Whiskey's bday party at Meg and Wez's house Sunday. I made a butterscotch apple cake. I forgot to take a pic of the finished product tho-duh. It was super good.

This is what Atilla does when she doesn't want to share the cake pan. She picks up the heavy metal bowl and carries it into the other room HAHAHA..

yup this is me.

This should be mine..

Here is one of his 4 or 5 bikes and below is the newest addition. The one that I would look MUCH better riding.

This is what hap's when you ask a dude to find you a cheap old bike-they keep it for themselves!!! argh. He paid $100 for this 1969 CB160. MEN! I tell ya! He just got it running a week or so ago and here's Wez taking it for a spin.
