Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm finding myself surprisingly moved by John Hughes' death.

RE: John Hughes. Yep. Heart attack. Heard about it at work (one of the hazzards of working here I suppose).

Aaand, nobody's here. I do know my former boss & her husband, my realtor, one of my less conversational coworkers and lisah have said they'll come. Other friends? NSM. Guess that happens in the summer.

John Hughes was 59. Way too young.
Around here, at least, no one arrives on time. There's always that 20 minutes of blank time in which I think, "Do I start drinking now?"

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We have never thrown a party where my (very prompt) husband did not spend the first hour pacing while telling me that no one was going to come. But people always come late.

It looks like English. And yet, it makes no sense.

I always try to lie to myself that the party doesn't start until half an hour later than I invited people.
And then I drink and pace anyway.
And I also show up within 10 minutes of the start time when people throw parties. And I'm only not EARLY to other people's parties because I know it's rude.
I have a promptness problem.

amen, sister.

yes. This acquaintance showed up to a party HALF AN HOUR early. She called, I thought she needed directions, but she was here and wanted to know the apartment number. I said "oh, I'm really sorry, but I'm not ready for guests yet". She said "oh, that's okay, I don't mind" I said "it's really hard to do those last minute things with someone there" She said "I'll just stay out of your way" I finally had to say "Listen, right now I'm talking to you while naked because I'm not finished getting ready. there is a coffee shop a few blocks away. go there and come back in 20 minutes" She did, and tried to complain to people about it. they all looked at her like she was crazy. I was vindicated.
