and coconut macaroons

There is a package of coconut macaroons in front of me and they look like biscuts. It is strange becuase if they were biscuts and not macaroons I would be eating them right now. It is nice that my weekness is not sweets (with the exception of sour gummy bears from Henrys-but we are calling those fruit) but my weakness is actuall meals. I love fatty foods ,fast foods and such. I don't eat a lot in a particular day just what I eat is not good for me Oh well I will get past all of that. Speaking of macaroons. A lot of times they are described as coconut macarroons. Isn't that redudant? I thought macaroons implied coconut. I need to find that out. My curiousity is just bugging me on that one. There are almond macaroons. So i was wrong... Interesting. The world of macroons is exciting they are even in a song from the 70s that i can remember the name of. I think it is sweet city woman. I found this piece that I wrote a couple of years ago. There were a couple of good lines that I am going to paste here for prosperity:

The room has a bed, a trashcan, a towel, one sterile light, a door with lock, and a friendly sign. It doesn’t have blankets, pillows, table, light switch. It is cold and white and eerily noisy. Vibration comes from the walls and slips under the door and to your ears.

Watching Sylvia tonite got me in a writing mood. So I wrote about a page of a new story but there is no plot. Just a feeling of longing. A lot of my stuff has that feeling. And I realize that I am drifting towards second person. But I can't work on Control right now. I don't want to and I don't know why. The story just sits open on my computer untouched. I think I want to write something else, but I don't know what. Maybe there is a story generator online. I am trying my hardest to be commtited to this writing thing.

Dang I love sleeping pills. I don't want to take enough to kill me just to sleep. I don't have any problems sleeping. I just love the sleep I get on them. It is the deepest sleep completely absent from dreams. I think my dreams are what make me so restless. They are not bad or anything just i feel like i am dreaming all night and that i never really sleep. Although today is is one day where i haven't feel tired. Which is nice. I hope tomorrow is like that also. Oh well

Keytar

I have no idea why I like the Keytar. Maybe it is because most people think that it is stupid and cheesy and "so 1980". I think it is also a subconscious linking to my childhood. See when I was younger I loved Jem (Jem is excitement. Jem is adventure) and my favorite character was Kimber. She played the Keytar. I didn't remember this iinformation until just recently. I wonder... Hmmm... A pink keytar would be awesome.... Trying to say that i had a Jem fixation and I ended up saying Jem Asphixiation. hehe... that is the subnet name of our band the Thieving Magpies.

Spent Saturday relaxing most of the day and then went to dinner with my parents. No where special. After dinner my mom dyed my hair and my hubbie did our taxes. We owe under 600 this year and we are excited. How fucked up is that? Last year we owed close to 1000 and now since we have almost cut it in half we are ecstatic. The US tax system is seriously screwed up. Combined we are not making that much. Enough to be comfortable but we are not rich or really firmly planted in middle class. Oh well, unless I major in economics and come up with some grand scheme to change the Federal tax system I am pretty much screwed.

Watched the Grammys last night, haven’t done that in about 5 years and it was very interesting. I was amazed at the amount of performances and the lack of awards given out. And did anyone else notice that they gave out about 10 lifetime achievement awards. After about 2 it seems cheapened. I assume that Beyonce will get a lifetime achievement award next year. Maybe it is like a Star on the Walk of Fame. There was a huge disappointment. You don’t get one based on your actual fame any more. Some one pays to have you get a star on the walk of fame. I was just checking their site to see who has one and it said that Journey is getting one this year. Frickin Journey on the walk of Fame? In case people forgot, fame is popular acclaim.
Strangeness at the Grammys was hearing Sting, Dave Matthews, and Vince Gill butchering I Saw Her Standing There. First what a strange song to choose and second I thought it was supposed to be a tribute. Do I have to define a tribute? That is generally something in honor of something/someone. Not a horrible rendition of a song.

I got off of work early today because I was bored at work. I am now watching Monty Python. Not that funny yet. Somewhat funny. A joke that kills people. Animals that think they are birds. Strange. It is all strange. As always I need to be more productive. Late

Please stay on hold

What is the difference between jazz hands and spirt fingers.... I guess it is all in the fingers for spirit fingers. Can you do jazz hands and spirit fingers at the same time? Do you do spirt fingers by first doing jazz hand then wiggling your fingers? Do they require a smile on your face? Well how can you not smile at spirit fingers or jazz hands. You have to be one cold person to not find some amusement out of them, c'mon it is Jazz Hands. Even the name makes me chuckle.

There is a show on pbs from the creators of the Teletubbies called boobah. It is whack. I love saying that word whack because it is so unlike me. About boohbah.... There are these five multicolored blobs that dance around then freeze. Then they float in the air. Some kids come and put a box in on this smoky area and these people come out of the box. I usually can't watch much more past that so I don' t know what else happens. The website is
http://www.boohbah.com/zone.html and that is even stranger because you just kind of have to figure out what to do.

I am on hold right now trying to get tickets to a college baseball game. I can't believe i am on hold. But it is in a new state of the art ballpark so i guess it is worth it. Oh well. Just to let you know my call is very important to them. I sure hope so because this music is really annoying. It is elevator music for the seriously deaf. As if there is another kind of deaf. I think any kind of deafness is seroious.

An insult I heard the other day is dirty shitlicker. Is there a clean shitlicker? I would just assume that if you are licking shit then you are a dirty mofo. If I am wrong will someone please explain that to me?

Last night I got seriously drunk. I was all horrny and stuff. Writhing on the bed. But this morning I am okay. No hangover, no dry mouth. It is like it never happend. Strange.
