New Year's Eve and it's hard to believe
another zodiac has gone around.

While you drank yourself high on hoping
and watched the ceiling spin from the ground.

Counting down from ten it's time
to make your annual prayer.

Secret santa in the sky
when will I get my share?

Then you tell yourself
what you want to hear.

Cause you have to believe.

This will be my year.

This will be my year...Semisonic

"If you're dressing like your daughter, people look at you as if you're weird," said teacher Joyce Acton, 52, of suburban Philadelphia. "And you are weird."

Pulled from a foxnews.com article discussing the new trend in clothing stores for women just past Britney and pre Joan Rivers.

I forgot to mention that yesterday I was walking down the hall and a voice greeted me with "SWEEP!" in a very loud Boston accent. I tend to have an aversion to Bostonians a. because I grew up in Maine and even we know that those people are crazy and b. I had me an irritable conversation with Dicky Barrett (as Bostonian and a person can get) when he offered me a beer and I declined politely and then he got all ornery. Lots more to say about him but no reason to do it. Lots more to say about Boston as well but it is the city that has spawned a few bands with have brought me insane amounts of joy so I'll end that discussion now.

Anyway, I hear "SWEEP!"...it was shouted by a very orange...yes orange (she who fake bakes too much)...co-worker with Southie demeanor and a strong hate for the Yankees. The kind of hate that only an embittered Boston fan can harbor. But normally I quite enjoy her antics.

So I looked at her and said, "Do I ever harass you?"

INSERT DEAD SILENCE because no I do not.

Then I said, "Besides you've got a few years of history to catch up on, yes?"

How ornery am I? The "big concert" in New Orleans is going to be Al Green. I am sure he is the kind of performer that you can be happy to say, "I saw him once in concert..." But I think that's just because every other person you meet chose "Let's Stay Together" to be their wedding song...which in my opinion if you have to voice that sentiment on the first day of your marriage, well I wouldn't take that as a good sign. Truly the reality is that I want to attend a kick ass pull your heart through your throat "don't we work for the coolest place on earth" kind of show. Alas that is not in the cards this year. I really shouldn't complain.

And why do I have the lyrics from the Portishead song "Sour Times" running through my head???

Oh yes, it's because I am a wee bit irritable at the moment.
