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

The easy-listening song stylings of Michael Bolton could bring a lot of peace to the world.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

It's that pinpoint thin like of pain from one end of pain to the other?

Yep. Luckily as long as I keep my foot up I'm fine so at least it isn't interfering with grading. But it is stopping me from walking to the kitchen and pouring myself a nightcap. Because grading.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That sounds like no fun, Burrell.

So....I just sent off a song to one of my songwriting idols for critique. Meep! It's the guy who wrote some of the original music in "That Thing You Do."

He'd started offering songwriting critiques (he's a prof now, was a rocker back in the day) and I'd contacted him about it years ago. Couldn't find it now, so I fb messaged him, and he said he'd do it for me for free.

So this week when we had our buddy in doing his recording, I conned him into laying down a quickie guitar track for one of my tunes. And I just sent it off now. SO SCARED. But I can mark it off my New Year's Resolutions list, just in the nick of time.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I love the music in That Thing You Do! -- it doesn't hurt that I love that movie in general. So I know you're getting some critique from a Very Talented Person.

Juliebird, so glad to hear that your power is Back On! I expect that the Nor'easter this week would have knocked out a lot more power if not for Sandy taking out a whole lot of trees and poles just previously.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Shiny new thread!

Tomorrow, Chicago!

Yay!!!!!!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Super Yay! Though the be at the airport at 5:30 part can bite me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm just going to pretend you said Michael Bolton.

International scandal as US Secretary of State tells incoming Chinese President Xi Jinping "I said I loved you, but I lied!" Xi takes hard line, refuses to be touched... there!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hello, new Natter!

I'm "working from home" while waiting for my new coffee table, but the problem is, I really need to work! And I stayed at my parents' last night, so didn't get good sleep, and I just don't feel like it. I guess it's still early, so anything could happen.

New thread!!!

Huh, and my number is under a thousand. I thought I was later to the party than that.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Where do we find our number? I think I'm bizarrely in the 200's? (How did THAT happen?!)
