stupidity and leap day
Published Monday, February 28, 2005 by naptowngirl.
boys are dumb. no really... they are.
ok. now that i've gotten that out of my system. i'll move on. do you ever wonder what happens to leap day when it's not a leap year? is it like brigadoon? like once every 4 years February 29th mystically rises out of the mist of time. i don't understand people who get married on leap day. do they celebrate your anniversary on Feb. 28th or March 1st every year? do they only celebrate once every 4 years? if so, that's a bum deal. i feel bad for babies who are born on leap day. when do they get to celebrate their birthdays? are they perpetually one day younger than they really are? so that when they're 30 really they're 30 minus the 22 days they've lost? it's a complex thing to wrap your mind around.
and my mind hurts.

Ok. this is not an "i love the go-go's" post. in fact, it's to tell you that i'm going on a little vacation.
after nearly 8 1/2 years without seeing each other my Jennie bean and I are meeting up in Nassau for a long weekend of drinks and beach. I can't wait!! i've never been to the bahamas before.
Also... the website is really cool... check it out.
if you all have any suggestions for what we should do while we there... i'm open!!

flash back

so i'm sure most of you know that when i graduated from college i got into the country dance scene. I danced at this place called The Cadillac Ranch (aka "The Ranch") for about 2 1/2 years after school. I had alot of friends and spent ALOT of time out on the dance floor living it up! So things change, life goes on, and I started spending less time at the ranch and more time closer to home with my new group of friends. So now i only go up to the ranch every few months for special occassions and stuff like that.
So last night i went up because i'd been told an old friend would be in from out of town. The guy who happened to be "my" dance partner way back when. We hadnt seen each other in like 4 years and although i know i've changed... it was so much fun dancing with him again.
We may not be able to go home again, but we can visit every once in a while. :)

review of random things new to me
Published Thursday, February 17, 2005 by naptowngirl.
hey ho ranger joe.
so last week i heard this "killer" song on the radio called "Somebody told me". well... i had to check and see that i was listening to the right radio station because this song sounded an awful lot like new wave to me... something circa 1985. but alas... i was mistaken. this song is NEW NEW NEW, from a fresh band called The Killers. So after seeing a blurb on vh1 about them, i went to ever-faithful amazon.com and listened to some tunes. good stuff... so i ordered it. along with U2's latest album How to dismantal an atomic bomb. This is a good album too. i am not disappointed. it's alittle hard, but also remeniscent of good U2. not the crap that was Zooropa. That was a wacky-doo album.
I have to figure out where i got that expression from. i think it might be from a commercial i saw where this asian guy clones himself so he can get all this stuff done. and he brings his wife breakfast in bed and she freaks out because one of the clones is sleeping next to her. he says "wake up sleepy-doo" this just cracks me up. so maybe that's where wacky-doo came from. dunno.
On the book front, i finally caved and boughthe's just not that into you . Looks to be an entertaining read since we all know how impossible it can be to figure out the male psyche. (sorry guys, it's true!)
You guys also have to check this out
Hoops and Yoyo

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... kisses for you! kisses for you!... i'll save the rest for you guys to see for yourselves. there's loads of funny shtick here. enjoy!!

Phil...

How many years has it been since that damn fat rodent DIDN'T see his shadow?? Every year "6 more weeks" of winter. EVERY FREAKIN' YEAR! With so many cameras and light and shit on the little guy why wouldnt he see a shadow freak out and run inside. I would, if i'd been sleeping for a year and then tried to come out for a bit of fresh febuary air to see hords of people crowding around my front door. That's scary!! Why doesnt everyone leave phil alone. Maybe he wants to get some shopping down on his one day out of the hole. Maybe he wants to go to the gym and work out! I think he should. I don't know how big groundhogs are supposed to be but Phil looks alittle squidgy around the edges.
I also want to say something about this "6 weeks of winter" crap. for whom does this weather forecast apply? Because those folks in texas and florida arent getting much of a winter at all... In maryland it's anybody's guess as to when spring will show up. Up here in Connecticut, i don't know about you, but i'm not expecting winter to end for another 2 months or so. i'm guessing neither do the earthy people in vermont. but i think they're too busy tapping and hugging maple trees to care.
So put on your hat and scarf and batton down the hatches because Phil our furry weatherhog says this winter is not over. what a surprise!
