Bob Movement
So this past weekend was all about Bob.
I stayed in Friday night and watched the train wreck that is Whitney Houston's life on "Being Bobby Brown." I have surmised that I never ever want to be famous. It makes you crazy and freaky. No thanks. I felt really dirty watching it. I knew I shouldn't but I couldn't stop. I should not be supporting that crap. Tos can do an awesome impersonation of Whitney from that show. If you see him on the street, ask him to do it for you. It will make you giggle.
Saturday, we hung out with our buddy Joe. Joe is hot. He's a big teddy bear and a really sweet guy. Plus, he gives good bear hugs and is a great kisser. I'm just playin'! I wouldn't know anything about that. (Or would I)?
We went to Lauriol with Joe, Tos, and Matt B for dinner. Ira and Shawn showed up later. I'm not sure where Tattoo was. I knew it was gonna be one of "those" nights when Joe ordered a pitcher of margaritas when we weren't even half empty on the other one. The waiter said, "You still have some left." Joe snapped, "We need another one." No, we didn't.
We made plans earlier that we were gonna go to Blowoff that night. Believe it or not, we do not go out much at all. I know that's hard to believe with all my party stories this summer but it is rare. If we do go out, it's usually at the beach or at the Blowoff party. Tos kept saying all day that he wasn't going to go. He ended up going. It was pretty funny. We had a wild time. I love my friends.
Sunday, we went to an album release party for Bob Mould's new CD, "Body of Song." Have you ordered your copy yet? If not, please do so now. It comes out tomorrow. You should definitely get it. I think he wrote all the songs about me.
It was a good time. At one point, I thought that maybe I had stepped into a bloggers' convention. All the boys were there. I finally got to meet the infamous Jimbo. We all made out and then got our laptops out to write about it. It was hot.
They were raffling off a boxed set of his new CD. I won one of them. I never win anything so I deserved it. The last time I won something was in 6th grade when I was given an Excellence in Sports award. I didn't win it for my athletic ability though. I won it for having perfect attendance in gym class. How sad. I still have it. It's plastic and about 3 inches high. I keep it around so I can remind myself that I did, in fact, win something at one point in my life.
Oh yeah, Rob finished reading the latest Harry Potter book. Do you wanna know who dies? ;-)

I would like to add that my impression includes the requisite hand gestures and neck movement... I have seen the same episode like 3 times now (when you don't have cable or tivo you have to just endure what you get at 1am - we were watching it too friday nite just like DBud)
I mean I was tempting fate by just stepping foot into Lauriol plaza - I have never left there less than drunk... so what happened? Yup poor Channel7 got off work, completely sober and arrived to find lil ole me - sweating, unable to form sentences and sounding like Bjork after a root canal and too much novacaine. Needless to say I was not pretty! Oh yes, the time was only 12:15PM - I had a brochure about a 12-step around here somewhere... hmmmm
Oh yes - Dbud failed to mention our brilliant idea of having beers at Fox n Hounds BEFORE we went to Lauriol plaza... owwww pass the Advil please. I'm never drinking again (insert Marla impression here)

It was good making out with you too. My lips and toungue hurt today.
I only win floral arrangements and $5 gift cards. It is my destiny.

I can't watch that Bobbie Brown show. Have you noticed, though, how he looks as if he's always talking out of the side of his moouth ... like he's had a mild stroke and his face is partially paralyzed?? It's bizarre.

I wish I could have been there. I was spinning around Uranus after having my first and last space brownie on Saturday night. Thank Ttodd the gourmet for that tasty treat.
Just came back for a landing a few hours ago...

I got the deluxe edition of BOS in Melody Records this weekend. Not sure why they had it before the release date. I should have gotten the regular one, I don't care for the bulky packaging of the deluxe. Favorite songs yet to be determined.

Jimbo,
Your awards are better than mine (except for the BM prize, of course, but I did deserve that one). I've never won a $5 gift card. Must be nice.
Myke,
You are right! I always wondered why he talked funny but now it all makes sense. I think maybe he has had a stroke. Or something.
Matt,
Space cakes are bad news. That's why they stopped selling them in Amsterdam cuz too many Americans were freaking out. Just say no. You should only smoke durban bud. ;-)
Steve,
My fave right now is (Shine Your) Light Love Hope. It's all about me.

even better than durban bud is a little something that rhymes with the word sash :-)

Damn I miss Lauriol Plaza! Especially sitting outside during the fall or spring when it's less than 100 degrees outside. Only thing good about this weather is my PSEG stock.
