I’m quitting my day job! Well, not really. But I’m just chuffed to bits by how fantastic I am! I feel like “chuffed to bits” is a phrase I heard in some Harry Potter DVD Special Feature.

I’m not ashamed to admit - ok, I am a little ashamed - that I was REALLY feeling this song while I was singing it and therefor it is a little loud and I beat the TAR out of guitar. But seriously, Joni Mitchell! Come on! I can only hope to one day be half as good as she is and then still never come even a tiny bit close!

I have to share a really bizarre, irrational fear of mine, and that is having my bladder pierced by a length of pipe in some freak accident. It is important to me that it is a pipe and not some other, larger crushing object because the point is that my bladder is damaged beyond repair while the rest of my internal organs are presumably intact. Just imagine all that pee all up in your guts? That can’t be good or survivable. I know nothing about anatomy, so a pierced bladder would probably ruin tons of other stuff. I vaguely remember the uterus/ovaries combo nesting behind the bladder, so that would suck additionally.
I think this all stems from the movie Frida. If you’ve never seen the movie - or read up on Frida Kahlo, she was in a bus accident as a young woman…and a piece of pipe entered at groin level and just ruined everything. I want to say that it literally pierced her hoo ha, but I probably just made that part up to make the whole thing terrifying. Just imagine being on a bus that crashes and you chose the exact seat that would result in a piece of pipe jabbing you where the sun don’t shine? The odds of that are just staggering and it’s not wonder that the rest of her life was in shambles (I think).
Anyway, this isn’t a fear I am super obsessive about, but I do think about it a couple times a week. So now everybody knows!

jjstgermain:
and am aghast that anyone could not see the appeal, in chronological order:
- Mork and Mindy
- Good Morning, Vietnam
- Dead Poets Society
- Hook
- Aladdin
- Mrs. Doubtfire
- Nine Months (his performance justified the time it took to watch this film).
- Jumanji
- Jack
- Good Will Hunting
- What Dreams May…
J.J., I love you, but not this! Never this! We’ve discussed HIM enough times to know where the other stands, and this post makes it perfectly clear what side of the Williams-coin you come down on. Anyway, all I have to say is that I also love like 90% of those movies you listed (minus Jack, Bicentennial Man, Patch Adams, and I don’t really remember One-Hour Photo but I’m sure it was dissatisfying!) I just don’t appreciate, or endorse, Mr. Williams’ decisions to flap his wings and run around like a chicken with his head cut off whenever he is presented with a platform to speak. I do like that he has had a troubled past (alcohol?) as it helps me differentiate him with that kid in my fourth-grade class who rocked back and forth at his desk!

This is one of the first songs I recorded when I realized that my computer had a built-in microphone and sound recording capabilities! It’s Cry Me a River which is a devastating love song, but not the one by Justin Timberlake. That song was crap and just a way of saying “Eff You, Britney!” There’s a big difference.

I just remembered that there is this 89-year-old man where I work who does the robot if you ask him. It is the world’s slowest and most adorable robot ever, but GD it he commits the way any good dancer should. I can never quit that job now.

1. Wear a tube top in a foreign locale. This is a “two birds with one stone” kind of resolution. It will allow me to wear tube tops - which I think might be meant for me and me alone - and force me to actually go somewhere fun and warm and awesome!
2. As always, I want to eat breakfast (or any meal) at the White House under any administration.
3. Miniature elephant ownership.
TBC!

I don’t really like this song or this singer (Ingrid Something or another) but I like this one little part. Happy last day of 2011!
