Blowin' in the Wind

It's wino night!! ...Don't say you weren't warned.

Morning's phone just died, which makes me sad, but before it did I asked him my default question, which I use to immediately judge people & decide whether or not I like them: You're stranded on a desert island, which 5 albums do you have to have?

The rules: It can't be a mix CD or any of that BS. It CAN be a greatest hits album, or even a multi-disc set, as long as that is how it was released by the recording company. Basically it has to be all one artist per album.

That being said, his answers were: Queens of the Stone Age: self-titled, Eagles of Death Metal, Beatles - Abbey Road or 1...Incubus - either Make Yourself or Morning View...And I can not remember the last one for the life of me. But moral of the story is his answers were legit. And I asked AMS23 hers, which were also spectacular.

Here's the thing, though - I ask people the question all the time, and honestly if they were to ask me mine I would tell each of them a different 5 albums. I am trying to lock it down, but I just can't. So for today, here are my Desert Island Albums:

*Annie Lennox - Medusa

*Band of Horses - Cease to Begin

*Crosby Stills Nash & Young - So Far

*Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key of Life

*O.A.R. - Stories of A Stranger

And because I have a really really hard time narrowing this down, I am allowing myself 3...make that 4...err, 56... runners-up, which are:

John Butler Trio - Grand National

Supertramp - Breakfast in America

Rusted Root - When I Woke

Citizen Cope - The Clarence Greenwood Recordings

Sublime - self-titled

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense

....Who am I kidding?! I want to turn this into a list of Angie's 100 favorite albums because they are great from start to finish! But alas, that would be ridiculous. So for now, I shall go boost mi amigo's ego & finish my wine.

What are yours??

One more thing, though, today Sister's friend J decided he could beat me at some sort of music knowledge competition. I was almost insulted by this thought. Is that wrong of me?! Regardless I feel like I might have put the little punk in his place, for now. ;)

And to be ironic (in the Alanis Morissette sense of the word) I am including a song that is in no way, shape, or form on this list:

I have a new home officially! A new townhome that is! I get the key tonight; closing on the 10th of October. Huzzah!!



I am beyond excited! There is, of course, work to be done. A minimal amount though, and that's good enough for me! Yay homeowner! Sad is the fact that I am really mostly curious to see how Yoshimi adjusts. It's a good thing I don't ever plan to have children I think; I would end up ignoring them for my baby! But look at how pretty she is!

Did I ever tell you the story about my boss's dog? If so, I apologize for repeating myself! Shortly after I started working here, when I got my 2nd boss (on number 3 now since June), I was in his office and saw that he had 2 framed pictures of dogs. One of them looked like Yoshimi. We've never been sure what breed she is, but from books and the such the closest we can tell is she is a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. Here is a Rhodesian Ridgeback:
...So I ask my boss what type of dog it is, and he says he doesn't know. She was a rescue dog and they THINK she is a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. I just thought that was really strange - since Shimi was also a rescue dog, etc. That's all.

Tonight E Dat is coming into town! Very shortly actually! YAY! And we are going to go eat Japanese Steakhouse (Yum!) and go look at my house (!!!!) and then probably watch a movie with Rasta (:D). Tomorrow we will go to Knuckleheads, and I am making MC come with because he needs to start socializing. It's something I've decided.

Yesterday my horoscope said I might be wasting time on my latest crush, and that I should ask them. So I did. He said I wasn't. :)
