If You Came to Make Trouble ...

Wanted to post this:

If You Came to Make Trouble, Give Me a Double Honey, I think it's good.
Memo to self: Must NOT get the new Whitney Houston album.

Going to do a post soon. Eating a bagel and drinking cold coffee. You should try it sometime.

Hi loyal, lovely readers. You have not Run Astray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hee hee. Going to do a post soon.
Lately I've been singing a song that I think is called "The Lord is so Wonderful," (written by my friend Lorenzo) and a song called "This Little Light of Mine" in my head (also a religious song--learned it when I was little). I've been alternating between the two.
Also there is another song I've been singing but I can't remember what it is.

My jelly bracelets are frighteningly cool.

Peace and love.

Not Watching The Octomom Reality Show is SO Lame. What would Nadya Suleman think???

Hi:

Just kidding about the above statement. I just wanted to get your attention.

Just going to try to write fast. Sorry if all of it does not make sense.

I prefer to call it gettting out my thoughts; YOU can call it "Microblogging" while listening to a Denise Austin (spelling?) exercise video turned up at FULL BLAST.

The other day I was sitting outside at an unnamed Starbucks (it was already closed. It closed early, but that's for another blog post) and overheard a couple (maybe in their late 20s) talking about their upcoming wedding with what appeared to be a wedding planner. The resulting situation followed: every time the wedding planner ( a woman in her 40s with a conservative, dorky hairstyle ) suggested a song to the couple, she would belt it out at full blast. I heard an excellent version of "All You Need Is Love," originally by the Beatles but Re-done by her. To cut to the chase: I learned every detail of the wedding except for where it is going to be and what color dresses the bridesmaids are going to be wearing. Darn, I SO wanted to crash it ( Hey, if I did, could I bring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn with me??) I did not get a ton of WRITING done (my poor short story was being neglected ) but I did get to hear about garters and violins and prayers.

In the writing class yesterday (at The Bridge, homeless shelter in downtown Dallas where I help out), a man asked me for 25 cents. I said NO because I wanted to say no and stand my ground and also because I did not want to give away all of my change at that exact moment. He wants to write about his life and maybe he will, soon. as soon as he gets 25 cents.

I bought the new Eminem CD, Relapse. Bow down to sad, pathetic 8 Mile (not the movie, the street in Detroit, MI ), which is becoming well known for ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? question mark overkill. Well, in any case, god bless all of the 8 Mile Road prostitutes.

I'm working at an unnamed bookstore. It's okay so far, and I like that it's something new. My boss said I could blog about him if I wanted.

Well, I had more to write but Im getting tired.

Geraldine Ferraro, 74, (look it up if you do not know who she is) and Shirley Manson, 43, the singer from Garbage, both have birthdays TODAY. Yay, they are both OLDER than me. Oh, happy birthday.

Peace. Working on giving peace, love, hope and Luck. It's overused but that's ok!!

Chillax with a Bob Dylan CD if you can,
xo,

Alice

Burning Question Of The Day: Is Miley Cyrus Going to Make Her Way Into My CD Collection?

Hey Gentle readers:
If Wednesday is Hump Day, what is Thursday? The Day After Hump Day? "Flat" Day? I will leave you to ponder with your creativeness!!
When I was younger, I never knew or understood what Hump Day meant. I did not ask in case it meant something I wasn't "supposed" to know.
On to the vital question on everyone's minds: Will Miley Cyrus become part of my CD, or music collection?? I heard the song "Party in the U.S.A." yesterday. Miley has an annoying voice, but I liked the lyrics. When she talked about being out "with my girls all around me," I wanted to be doing the same thing. In the song she references a Jay Z song, and I NEVER KNEW Miley was a fan of gangsta rap!!!
Anyway, I was Jammin' in the Target (Tar-jay for the more elegant and refined) parking lot!!!
I was leaving the homeless shelter (The Bridge, in downtown Dallas) Tuesday after the creative writing class, and this lady walked RIGHT UP to my car (it seemed like she was on top of my car for a moment) and said, "Excuse me, do you have a LIGHT?" I told her I did not have any fire-starting mechanisms in my car. THEN, a few minutes later, I saw her walking on the other side of the street, happily smoking her cigarette. She is very old and had a reddish looking face. I realized after that she was the same lady that I took a picture of last summer in the CVS (drugstore for foreign, esp. British, readers) parking lot on Greenville Avenue.

Also at the notorious writing class: I asked a guy (let's just call him W. for short, shall we??????????????????????? Question mark overkill. He is in his early to mid-20s with a goattee.) when he was going to write something for class, and he said he didn't like writing. So I asked him why he came to class, and he said, "Because I like to listen." Then, he said, "What, I CAN'T LISTEN???" and got angry and stormed out of the room (I tried to say that he was still welcome in class but he refused to listen.) When he came back after a short intermission, he announced loudly that I had said he couldn't come to class. A little while after, another woman walked out for a similarly silly reason, which is why yesterday was ACADEMY AWARD WINNING DRAMA DAY at the writing class.

The Octomom Update: Whenever I hear the word Octomom, I think of the word Octopus. In watching Octomom: The Unseen Footage, Wednesday night, I noticed that the Octomom looks a little like an octopus. I think the Octo-mom has Octo overload on her hands with 14 children. I guess she can shop at Costco a lot (Lifetime Membership!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excalamation mark overload). The show made me appreciative of the fact that if I ever have children and need a nanny, I will most likely only need the service of ONE (singular)nanny, not nine.

Also, smelled a lady in Corner Bakery with WAY TOO MUCH perfume. I'll cut it short: She smelled like she had doused herself with 15 bottles of perfume before walking into the Preston and Forest pastry and pasta hangout.

Gotta go. You go, with your chillaxed self.
Trying to complete my Action items so that I am on my way to Stress Free Productivity,

From Party in the U.S.A., by Miley Cyrus:
"So hard with my girls all around me
Its definitely not a Nashville party
Cause’ all I see are stilletos
I guess I never got the memo."

Don't You Love Hearing About My Adventures ???

Hey all:

That last post was just an accident. However, do check out: heartdallas.com . Even if you don't heart Dallas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Exclamation mark overkill.
I call this Wednesday Moanin' Part II (Thanks, Columnist Bob Talbert. Talbert has already died in case you did not know.) I received a donation the other day for my homeless magnets. It was very nice. $3.
So, the homeless magnet fund has officially begun!!!
I was eating in Subway yesterday (downtown Dallas. That is my new hobby, which I feel makes me more Well-rounded: sitting in SUBWAY, writing. Maybe I will see Jared!!!)
There was a guy (maybe in his mid-to-late 20s, with beady, stern eyes) sitting outside of the library (Central Library) wearing what looked like an orange SKI MASK, only it was a little bit looser. He was just sitting there hanging out. Of course, I soon approached to ask him if I could take his picture. He said no. Then I said that I liked his hat. He took his hat off and said, "The whole world like my hat!!!!!!" Being happy to learn that it was a POPULAR hat, I then said, "is that why you wear it, because the whole world likes it??" and mysterious bench guy said, "No, my name is Peoples because the whole world like my hat!!!!!!"
So, he didn't exactly ANSWER my question, but oh well.

I Was listening to satellite radio the other day and I heard a group called Duck Sauce.
I looked it up and yes, it really does exist. The song I heard was just a fun, dance-y song but it was awesome. So, go buy Duck Sauce. Or eat some duck sauce. Or just steal a packet of it from your local Chinese restaurant.

Gotta go for now. Give Love, peace, hope and luck.

love,

Alice
