Dee Lite - Groove Is In The Heart

What was your worst hairstyle decision ever?

I used to get my hair permed because it was so stick-straight and lifeless, but everytime I did, it was a crazy, curly mess.  One time, it even made me look like Little Orphan Annie (minus the red hair and freckles)...it was simply horrendous.  I was a freshman in college at the time and it was just the most traumatizing, unflattering style ever.  I cringe just thinking about it.

What do you absolutely refuse to eat?

Alas, I cannot choose just one...  Unlike the crazy dude on Man vs. Wild, I'd starve to death before even considering eating a grub.  **shudder**

I have been slammed with work the past few weeks in preparation for our annual summer weekend retreat (work-related, of course).  As much as this should be a "fun" time to be had by all, it won't be so much fun for me because I (of course) have to do all the work.  However, event planning is not without its perks.  Con - this will be out in the desert.  Palm Springs, to be exact.  Pro - it will be at a nice resort.  Con - I will be working.  Pro - I am given the same choice of fun activity as the kids this whole shebang is for.  Con - I will be working.  Pro - there is endless alcohol available for consumption.  Con - I will be working.  Anyway, you get the idea.

Also, my home computer is down because the Kid played a trick on me (but not before I played a trick on him first and unplugged everything in his room).  He got mad that I got a little carried away with unplugging everything that he refuses to reset the router that connects my internet to the cable (or however that high-tech mumbo-jumbo works).  Ah, yes, the tricksters are at it again.  Anywho, I am solely relying on my BlackBerry for email and other electronic correspondences for now.  I will handle the stubborn Kid whence I return.

So, I'll be sweating buckets this weekend and not getting any sleep, but at least I'll be sober and cranky.  Let the fun begin!

Y'all come back now, ya hear?!

What other names did your parents consider for you?

Priscilla.  No offense to any Priscillas (...Queen of the Desert) out there, but Thank GOD they didn't go with that (though Maraschino wasn't much of an improvement)!  And also Lydia...I think that's what my dad wanted but I got the feeling it was more of an afterthought.  I wonder how different of a person I'd be if I were a Lydia...?

...and he asked me how I was doing as he was checking out my purchases at Trader Joe's.  I was going to say something in my usual smart-aleky way to the effect of, "Don't you know?", but thought maybe he was testing me so I said I was "fine."  Boy, was it a relief I didn't get struck by lightning!  I usually don't look at nametags, but I looked at his and there it was in black and white:  Jesus.  I felt priviliged.  He also told me to have a nice day.  And, I'm going to hold him to that.

JC Peace out

Audio: Share a song you can't help but sing along to.

Earworm alert!

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy

What's the weirdest baby name you've ever heard (or considered)?

Some loony celebs named their kid Pilot Inspektor.  I'm too lazy to look up who the sadistic parents are, but it's true!

I thought long and hard about this and was just about to write it off when I heard this little ditty again on Kevin & Bean this morning.  It's as close to "country music" as I'll ever tolerate...(and I've never even smoked pot!)

Don't Bogart Me

The Last One Part One

The Last One Part Two

Flargon and what?

I watch this cartoon nearly every week.  This episode is my favorite.  I have the CD collection.

Please enjoy...
