Here is my newest iPod playlist. I labeled it Melancholia. I listen to it when it's dark outside and I'm feeling philosophical.
I was walking down Calle General Manso in Cornella de Llobregat, Spain when as if on some pre-arranged signal not available to foreigners all these midget sized nuns dressed in black with the weird turned-up flying-nun Sally Field style hoods came flooding out of doorways from both sides of the street. I was an American Sears Tower among a flock of four-foot tall hooded Catalan Sisters. They were on their way to a Mardi Gras Parade and they weren't really nuns but kids playing the part of the good ole Catholic days of King Philip's Spain.
This is my new signature on all my professional emails. I added the second line because I thought the first sentence sounded too much like an eerie dictum from an Orwellian bureaucrat working in 23rd Century Brazil. I added an exclamation point to add a bit of sunniness to an otherwise serious message. Everyone likes trees don't they?
As of 2-18-09 Here is the 25 Most Played Songs on my iPod...
I'm a-hurtin' from the ortho visit today. I think Dr. Harris secretly enjoys inflicting pain. Although Doc offices in Forney, Kaufman and Highland Park...I drove to the HP office today because I had Prez Day off and that's where he and the crew was. His office is in the HP Village. Different world and I always forget how different it is till I make a rare visit to the park cities. His office is across from Harry Winstons and Cole Haan. Woulda bought Kimberly something but oh yeah...I'm broke from paying Dr. Harris. One necklace from Harry's cost the same as the Mini Cooper. They also had all these welcome home Dubya and Laura signs all over HP since 43 will be soon residing nearby. What world are these people living in?
I've been asked this question before and I always find it interesting to consider. The question asks who would you like to invite to a formal dinner to your house. Formal dinners in this case means that you can invite seven people to your dinner of eight (which includes yourself). You can invite anyone from history or the present day. There are some people I would like to see just to see what they were like in person...but I may not really want them in my house. My list as of now would include in no particular order (and all guys so as not to upset my wife...this is a guys night out) includes...
