valley of the dolls

Michelle and i went to the international cafe the other night to listen to the acoustic open mike show they put on. The headliner was a singer/songwriter named Keiko Takamura. Very talented girl. We enjoyed her performance so much that we wanted to get some info on her. In the back corner of the cafe was a table with business cards and stuff so we wandered over to take a peek. Keiko didn't just have postcards and an email list to sign up for.. she had dolls. Of herself. That she made. mmhum... you too can have a Keiko Takamura doll! She had herself wearing three different outfits. I'm going to collect all three and put them on the shelf where i keep my Janice Joplin doll and my Willie Nelson monopoly game!

My hair has been doing this lately. Feathering and parting itself in the middle. And its doing it completely without my knowledge. I think it has Alzheimer's and is reliving its high school days.

Michelle and i were invited to a bbq at the park on Saturday. They told us to look for the people wearing blue. This is a huge park. Every inch of green taken up by groups of party goers wearing.. blue. We walked thru the park scanning each bbq pit. "Is that them?" I'd yell. "nope." Michelle would respond. This went on for a good half hour until we gave up and joined the other blue t-shirt wearing outcasts at a bar down the street.

I'm thinking next time I'll suggest the ol' funny hat theme.

There was a little competition going on here at work. My buddy and i both got tiny rose bushes for valentines day. My co-worker's plant was going gangbusters and sprouting little leaves and thorns at an astonishing rate. My poor little guy was just limping along. She would look at my pot full of stark branches and tiny leaves and just giggle to herself. She would talk to her rose bush and pet it... she'd bring it over to my desk to compare. "Yes indeed," she would think to herself, "I have a green thumb and I'm raising a jolly green giant!" and then.. it happened... we came back from a 3 day weekend and her plant, her BABY.. was dead. It simply shriveled up and died. It sat, until yesterday; on her desk... just a pot full of sticks poking up thru a clump of dry dirt. It now lives on jesus' desk where I'm sure it will flourish again.

Yo, Myra! Who has the green thumb now?!

So, the end of a very long season has arrived. The Mighty, Mighty Woodcocks finished the season with an 0-8 record. Not bad, i say... at least we're consistent.

Don't you worry Woodcock fans! The summer season starts in a couple weeks! We'll show 'em who's boss!

Spanish 101

Do you know people who can't do accents? When they try to do any accent it sort of sounds strangely English with rolled r's? Yah, well that's Michelle. She couldn't do an accent to save her life. So, with that in mind.. picture her trying to learn Spanish from a book. And reading sentences to me.. over and over. With absolutely no knowledge of how its supposed to sound.

I need an interpreter.

So, the space station's toilet broke. I guess i didnt know space people used a toilet. I thought they just pee'd in the fancy suit.

Ya learn somethin' everyday.
