No doubt you're playing real cool, homie

I'm about to sign you up, we can get right, before the night is up, we can get right, we can get riiiiiiight, riiiight ...

Have shamefully been rocking out to that new J. Lo song, “Get Right,” all morning. Who ever is producing her tracks must also be doing spin for the White House; they’re both taking crap and making it smell like roses.

I’ve finally recovered from my Friday night dancing excursion. If you plan on going dancing, please consume more than a Power Bar before drinking your gin and tonics, thanks.

It’s amazing what mental clarity comes with 12 hours of sleep.

One of my favorite things in the whole world is waking up on Sunday, having my coffee (weak, with 2% milk and two teaspoons sugar), reading the NY Times online, and listening to music. Last week it was northern soul singers: Irma Thomas, Brenda Holloway, and Kim Weston. This week it's R&B heavy. If you know your music history you'll already know that name "R&B" is short for "rhythm and blues" which is the policitally correct version of what used to be known as "race records."

Here’s this morning’s set list:

Get Right, Jennifer Lopez
Let’s Get Retarded, Black Eyed Peas
Hey Mama, Black Eyed Peas
Shut Up, Black Eyed Peas
All Falls Down, Kanye West
Other Fish, Pharcyde
Passing Me By, Pharcyde
We Need a Resolution, Aaliyah
More Than a Woman, Aaliyah
All I Do (is Think About You), Stevie Wonder
Days Like This (DJ Spinna remix), Marquess Wyatt
Shining Sar, Earth Wind and Fire
Closer, Brand New Heavies
I Like It, De Barge
Automatic, Pointer Sisters


I'm under the gun this week; I've got a story due on the 15th and right now I've got the "I'm going to pull this one out of my ass" sort of feeling. I am officially hitting a new procrastination low with this story. I've been concentrating more on trying to get work from bigger publications, so I haven't been doing enough work on it. The thought of being able to quit my job to write full time has me salivating. *drool*

My new favorite strange thing to do for no particular reason: drinking watered down fruit punch Kool Aid with umbrella bendy straws. Really, you've got to find amusement in anyway you can.
