One time I was at bar karaoke and someone did 99 Luftballoons in German. Pretty sure he got a standing O.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

So YOU'RE the one who was using my credit card to buy gas in Connecticut! I see what you did there! I am hip to your scheme!
I even know your birthdate and address, but despite the many times we have shared a bed, you weren't fool enough to give me your SSN.
It's kind of weird, trying to figure out what went on with her from the paperwork she left behind. Was she just really disorganized, or didn't care, or was she fired and escorted from the building?
I get calls for her a few times a week, too. Never local numbers.

"Friday Night Lights" gets Salon's "Buffy" award for the most underappreciated show of the year.
Yay! Though the letters were mildly upsetting.
Today is a musicy day.
1. Elvis is on Terri Gross talking about the rerelease of My Aim is True.
2. Last night we went to see the video DJ (I would need at least three whole posts to 'splain how very awesome he is. We saw LL Cool J, The Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's, The Ramones, Pat Benetar, Dirty Vegas and a bunch of others I'd never heard of- which reminds me, has anybody heard of or seen a video that's kind of 50's style line drawings and there's a moustache that flies around and makes everything pink? I keep asking the DJ the name and always forget the next morning).
3. A sample of last night:

Now it smells like ass and Sweet Tarts. What?

I'll have to find a good hiding places for my documents before I sleep with you again.

Ooh, Daisy, I'd heard (and see a drag performance) to Frontier Psychiatrist, but never seen a video. Just as bizarre as the song...
[edit: and this is an awesome mashup of that song and Crazy]

Lisah, I love that dress!
I got a little nudge about my internet use. (Not never, but not so much.) So I'll be around more sporadically. Maybe. I am also applying for a couple of jobs...so the at work surfing may go down to nill.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Lisa, you could just number the balloons 85-99 to imply the existence of the rest of them.

It is! There's another one by them that's also strange and a little sad.

ah! That is a very good plan. If I have time I also may blow some other cheap balloons up and scatter them on the stage so I can kick them around like she does in the video.
