Oof. I am eating some Spicy Chicken from some little Chinese food place I came across while out running some errands on my lunch hour. Emphasis on the Spicy, babies. Well, at least my sinuses have cleared. So if anybody out there lives in the Laguna Niguel area and has a hankerin� to see the ol� ikss up close and in person, come on down to the Mugs Away Saloon. I will be there, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, to see Lou�s new band play and inhale a couple of cocktails. Believe me when I say they are a very good band, especially for a cover band (which, let�s face it, are usually just this side of suck). Louis is a fabulous guitar-player. And, you know...the drummer is very cute. :) I�ll be the short one with red hair; in the purple top, showing an enormous amount of cleavage (at least, I think that�s what I�m wearing). I�m sure to have a glass of vodka somewhere within arm�s reach. In regard to last night�s debate...well, I didn�t watch much of it, actually. A) I was doing laundry the entire time. B) John called me shortly after it began, to whine about how small his tax refund is this year. C) I ended up taking a shower half-way through the debate. Hey, it�s not like I haven�t heard their shit before, right? I will say one thing, though. Man, I wish Dennis Kucinich were better in these debates. He just seems so wooden; at least he does compared to the others. And given his limited body size, he is more and more reminding me of Pinocchio. Pre-real boy transformation, even. Sorry, Dennis. You know I love you, but�well, I calls �em as I sees �em. That said, he again of course made several rather nifty points. AND, Oh my GOD!!!! I almost forgot about this...Dennis actually mentioned the PNAC!!!!! I was really rather startled by that. I have never heard it mentioned in such a high-profile arena and by such a high-profile person. I only wish someone would have asked him to elaborate. Say what you want about Pinocchio...er, I mean Dennis, but he has some major cajones, boy howdy. Al Sharpton, when asked why he is in the race when he is getting so few votes, said some really good things about being heard and bringing people in to the party who otherwise wouldn�t care about the process. I wish Dennis had said something like that. Instead, when asked the same question, he spouted some incredibly optimistic but sadly unrealistic things about actually wanting to be President. In other news...The Alarm was on VH1�s new show, Bands Reunited last night! Man, that was fun. I used to love them, back when I was like 18. OK, so now they seem a tad...earnest. At the time, they were fab. And I must say, they sounded freakin� great at their little reunion; better than anyone else I�ve heard on that show (with the surprising possible exception of Klymaxx). Guess that�s it. Have a groovy weekend, kids. Added Later... Can I just say it's rather amusing that The Little Bitch Who is Trying to Make My Life a Living Hell is just sweet as pie to me when she's asking me if she can go home early? Oh and also - isn't this day fucking over, yet? Oh and ALSO - how can I be shivering and yet my feet are sweating? |
