Writer's Block: King of Pop

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Oh right. One year since. Wow. I still find it kind of insane that he's dead.

Probably Dangerous. It was was released right when I was old enough to pay attention/buy my own CDs, and I very clearly remember this was still when CDs came in longboxes and the Dangerous cover art was clearly designed for this (it's still, I think one of the best covers out there, though there is something about Young, Still Hot Michael lounging around in a suit WITH A MOTHERFUCKING TIGER HOW BADASS IS THAT.) But yeah, Dangerous was definitely a big part of my teenage musical landscape. It's also, in retrospect, sort of the last time we truly saw Michael for his talent more than his freakyness - right after, the rumors about what he was doing with kids started surfacing, he married Lisa Marie and the whole Wacko Jacko really took off, so... career wise, it was a very poignant moment.

Things what amuse me

It's really quite amazing what will have me on the floor howling with laughter some days, especially days like this one where I'm starting to hallucinate my ativan bottle as a big bag of plain M&Ms. Today it's the fact that you can add vuvuzela to any youtube video by clicking the football.

HELLO LADIES. LOOK AT YOUR MAN. NOW BACK TO BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

*dead*

i think this calls for a vuvuzela/World Cup gif party. Post if you've got em.

Covered in Muffking BEEZ

Seems to be a theme today, lol.

Things I need to get done:

Big chunk of work updates that need to get done before I leave town This should NOT have taken as long as it did, but damn it it's DONE now.

Throw Crap To Wear (and wash) this weekend into backpack

Clean out Hanzo-san (Considering I despise having a messy car, this will only involve clearing out some petals left over from the funeral a few weeks back, a towel and and some papers) - Fuck it, this ain't going to happen. If dad objects to flower petals, he's going to just have to deal.

Plug in and charge Things What need Charging and poke iTunes playlists for the drive down

Get some kind of dinner.

Recheck that I have indeed packed everything I need to freaking pack

Take the kids' toys/books over to cell23's.

Drop off some DVDs and wish aradiadiane a happy birthday

ADDED to list: take shower because I smell like it's been over 90 degrees all damn day.

OMG Drive to NYC! (right, time to go.)

Things I HAVE managed to get done
(despite glitches mostly having to do with EVEN IN THE FUTURE NOTHING WORKS)

gas up and do the pre-long drive car check
(this hit a snag when my Bank of America card refused to work properly - one detour to the Amherst branch and a panic attack later...)

get my damn cable back on (whoop whoop)
(the snag here was having the TV go back on instantly but the internet involved me having to call them so they could reset my modem remotely. Grr.)

god, it's nice to have my own goddamn internet again you guys have no idea.

Also riding a little high on adrenaline... I totally ripped into this overtanned beach blonde princess at the comcast office because she had parked her car in front of the office door in such a way that no one could get around her to park in the actual parking spaces in the back (not to mention the trucks couldn't get to their holding area either). Seriously, I Angry Black Womanned her ass (yes it's a verb) until she left in a screaming swearing huff... and got a quiet round of applause from the line of little old ladies waiting to pay their bills. Seriously you guys, I have no patience for entitled teenage speshul snowflakes anymore. I must be getting old or something.

Anycrap, got shit to do and a trip to pack for. Wish me luck and a safe journey y'all.
