Thanks, Nilly! It's good to be back, even though I wasn't gone near long enough.
I hope to put more pics up today.
My favourite Pretenders song is hands down "Brass in Pocket." I got none of that style, but damn, it would be nice if I had.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What is even happening?
I love Brass in Pocket and Kid, like there's no tomorrow.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
1989 was not a good musical year. I found maybe 11 songs that wouldn't make me change the channel, and the only ones I'm really fond of are "Love Shack" and "Stand." But if I go back to roughly 1984-87, I find more songs I'm nostalgically fond of. I don't know if that means mid-80's music was better than late-80's, or that I was more sentimental and impressionable at 13-16 than at 18.

Oh, which reminds me, I was going to evoke pity from my LJ friendslist and try to con fic out of them.
Do! I probably won't be able to play, due to jinxing myself yesterday, though.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
My dad listened to a lot of Queen, Styx, AC/DC and Zepplin when I was a kid, while my mother tended to go with crooners and the occasional musical. I remember she loved the song "A Few of My Favorite Things" and it drove me nuts. I gravitated towards my dad's side of things, though I do still enjoy the occaisional muscial.
To this day my dad and I still have similar tastes in music and will recommend a band or album to each other from time to time.
For my year, 1994 I recognize probably 90% of the songs, only like 8 of them and absolutely hate about 70 of them.

I'm a sucker. '89 has Tone Loc, FYC, Anita Baker, Bon Jovi, and for when you really need a laugh, an assload of Vanilli.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Dana, I skipped lots - how are your parents doing?
They're better, thanks. They've been able to get into the city and verify that the second story of the house is fine -- no water, no damage. We're hoping to go there en masse this weekend (my parents, me, and some of my dad's brothers) to start ripping out sheet rock and carpet. The big concern, now that the water's drained, is the mold that's growing all over everything downstairs.
My grandparents and great aunt returned to their homes yesterday. We're hoping they won't have to evacuate again because of Hurricane Rita.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sexual intercourse as a precipitating factor of transient global amnesia.
Okay, given that my father has had transient global amnesia, there is not enough ewww in the world.

Coding and Sleeping
I saw a white squirrel in Minneapolis once. And just a few weeks ago I saw a black squirrel in southern Wisconsin.
Just make sure they never come in contact.
