still falls the night (annie lennox)

I had completely forgotten about this Annie Lennox song. It was among my favorites my freshman year in college, the year Bram Stoker’s Dracula came out. I can’t tell you how many times I watched that movie. I loved it in spite of the disaster of Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder. Love Song For A Vampire. It’s a good song.

The Tick and Me



I found a Jeep. He’s blue, like the Tick. I love the Tick. I love the Jeep. The Jeep has been dubbed “the Tick”.

My last car is the only car I’ve ever owned that never had a name. We just didn’t work well together at all.

Random Wednesday


I have a job interview in 40 minutes. Yes another one. I’m not terribly nervous this time.

I think I might have found a Jeep.

Don’t worry, it’s not real blood.

Halloween is 46 days away.

I would really like to go back to sleep.

I forgot my lunch today, which annoys me. I don’t like buying lunch.

I might be kind of a little nervous.

I don’t think I was meant to be a runner.

Why does it so frequently smell like bologna in here?

I’m getting a headache. It’s probably nerves and stress and a desperate need for Diet Coke.

I’m starving. I was going to order something but now it’s too late.

I think that interview went well. I’ve never interviewed with that many people before. I don’t think I would ever be bored in that position.

Sometimes I really wonder how some people made it through college.

I ordered food anyway. Pizzahuttacobell didn’t sound appealing. Neither did cafeteria food. So there.

Where is my food?

If I get a new job will I be able to do Random Wednesdays any more?

Lunch order fail. It never came, so I called. Where is my food? I said. He came and you weren’t there, they said. But I am here, I said. I am here, wondering where the hell is my food?

I like the longer Random Wednesdays.

I am unable to recall a single instance in which I missed a deadline.

Mange.

Going to bed earlier is not helping my sleepiness. Maybe I need more iron.

I have Anthony Stewart Head’s album. I don’t like it as much as I’d hoped. I listen to it once every 6 months or so. He should have done a full cover of Behind Blue Eyes. That snippet he did on Buffy was dreamy.

I should knit more sweaters this winter. I knitted too many hats last year.

The True Blood finale was sort of blah. There were one or two things I didn’t expect, but overall, blah.

I like Emily Deschanel’s bangs.

My friends think it’s funny when they make me say “har”.

Anteaters don’t climb trees, and no one climbed up and put it there. I don’t know what’s making that noise. Yes, I realize you’re being funny.

I don’t care who you are, a meat dress is just never a good idea.

I don’t know why anyone is shocked that a Christian college canceled the New Pornographers. It’s more surprising that they were booked in the first place. They should have just let them play under a different name, like when CBS made the Jesus and Mary Chain play under a different name. The JM Chain or something. So they wouldn’t offend. Which is silly, really, but Calvin is a Christian college, I can see why this would be an issue for them.

Maybe I’m too monochromatic. I am dressed in varying shades of brown today.

Miss W’s teacher’s behavior color chart is making Miss W hate school. It’s complicated. It’s Miss W’s teacher’s first year with a classroom all on her own.

I never much cared for the hokey pokey.

Nothing of Particular Importance


I see faces in this tree. Can you see them? I love this tree. It’s a very biggish oak at the end of my driveway. Sometimes, if it’s very windy, it makes us nervous to stand under it. Miss W fills her pockets with acorns waiting for the bus. The acorns end up in piles throughout the house. There are currently 10 or so on the bathroom counter.

I’m trying to find a Jeep to buy. I can’t take another MI winter with my stupid little sedan POS. I’ve wanted a Jeep for ages anyway. I’ve been looking on Craigslist. Shopping for cars on the interwebs just seems weird to me. I’m not very good at haggling, it makes me nervous. I’ve been successful at it, I just don’t like it. I got a great deal on some furniture by haggling. Anyway. I have to find one to haggle over first.

The night before last I dreamed that I was in 8th grade, but somehow, also, it was my birthday and I was turning 37. I had also just had my job interview and in the dream they came across my silly blog and wouldn’t hire me because I’m not liberal enough. A lot of anxiety happening there, I suppose.
