Saturday Chickens

*Zack and I made the observation last night after coming home to YET ANOTHER empty water dish, that - MAN could the dogs like get their own water and shit?  We feel like slaves to the water bowl.  You think we could contract this job out?

*Is anyone else loving Sara Bareilles as much as I am?  I'm sorry for those who may be sick of it, but I can't get enough of LOVE SONG.  When I'm at home alone, I put my little headphones on (the ones that came in my ROSETTA STONE - FRENCH kit....with the little mic and all) so I look like Britney Spears, and I belt out the lyrics to...IM NOT GONNA WRITE YOU A LOVE SONG, CUZ YOU ASKED FOR IT!!!  Then the dogs come running down the hallway into the office staring at me and wagging their tails like 'WTF is going on?'.

Hell yeah.  You rock Sara Bareilles.  Also downloaded the latest Jack CD (Finally...I know), and I'm in love all over again.  So if its possible, my new death request for Zack is to get Sara Bareilles, Jack Johnson and MG THE VISIONARY (who by the way, I opened a myspace thingy JUST so I could tell him personally how badass he is and guess what?  he TOTALLY emailed me back, and now we tight.) to come sing a concert at my funeral service.  Then I've got Pop, Accoustic/Hippy, AND HIP HOP covered - so no one gets offended.

You may not know this, but I'm also a big fan of Electronic/Downtempo music.  This type of music, for those who haven't tried it out yet - is fantastic bedroom music (TMI TMI!).  Rubber ducky makes bathtime lots of fun right?  Downtempo makes bedtime lots of fun!  Well, you remember in high school when you made out with your boyfriend after popping the ENIGMA CD in?  Oh, I'm sorry...was it ENYA?  Yeah.  Same thing.   I recommend Thievery Corporation and anything that Mark Farina does.   

I spent a bit too much time rooting around in the ITUNES store the other night.  For example,   Mark Farina & Sean Hayes:  Dream Machine.  Awesome.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.  Oh, I crack myself up.

Right. So I looked up Sara Bareilles. Because I'm hip. And on top of it. And know about everything, all the time, always. And I gotta say, I don't know...meh? I mean, yeah, she belts it out, but it's still, kind of eeeeh, for me. Now, Feist, on the other hand--while hit or miss for me for most of it--FUCKING GETS IT GOING and although I think I'm the only person on the planet who doesn't want to claw out her ear drums upon hearing the first five bars of I Feel It All, the raw truth of the matter is that So Sorry will kick your ass in a street fight.

It's just the truth sister, it's just the truth.

Also, as my closing caveat, even if you know this one already, and if you do just humor me and reintroduce it, hmmmm, how about tomorrow night? Because its the lord's birthday. I mean, his re-birthday. Whatever. Tomorrow is for Jesus. That much I know. ANYWAY, might I highly recommend Yoga (or Joga, if your Icelandic) by Bjork. You know how good that can be. I know you do.

Not sure about all the music...but that first picture looks like you are trying to finish up your tax returns...not SINGING!

I love so MUCH Jack Johnson and Sara Bareilles. Her "love song" song (heh) is contagious! After reading articles in Rolling Stone and Outside magazines about Jack Johnson, I wanted to buy every CD he created and move the Prof and I to Hawaii. He's just amazing.

and on the dog and the water thing... what about the upside down 2 liter bottle full of water thing. there's a bowl attached to the thingie then the water thing you fill up, so it's full and then you stick it and twist it and then flip it upside down and you have a whole thing of water. in ... a bowl of some sorts... with gravity or something.

it's like a really big gerbil water bottle... but without the clicky thing that is SOO ANNOYING at 2am.

did someone say whiskey?

HEY, isn't bossy visiting you in like three minutes??
