oops

I spelled Alanis Morissette wrong. It's Morissette, not Morisette. My bad.
bbb

Alanis is back... and other blabbing... are you a Citizen of the Planet?

BBB is back... with a vengeance.
Ok, I just got the new Alanis Morisette CD, Flavors of Entanglement, from Starfuckers (not a dis to Starbucks I just like that word).
I haven't listened to all of the songs yet, but I like it so far. Track 9 has a funny title, "Giggling Again For No Reason." Again I have not gotten to that song yet bc I just listened to it in my car on the way here, but I will let you know. I also like track 1, "Citizen of the Planet. ON the cover there is a photo of Alanis,looking like "I am Alanis Morisette and you oughtta know I am deep and complex."
The other day I was at the Shell station on 635 and Preston, and I almost got run over by a 14-year-old driving a big white F-150.
YOu all must hear the band Oliphant, they are a local band. I heard them Sat. at Liquid Lounge, they are great. Very hard rock sounding but thats ok. They have a myspace and don't have time to type it in right now so look it up. Or else the rock gods will be mad.
I went to Harry's (frozen yogurt place)in Uptown today (hmmmm, makes it sound like I go to Uptown all the time and I DON'T). I had a cone with DEATH by CHOCOLATE, it was delicious. So try it if you can. Or the yogurt gods will be mad. I also talked to Harry himself.
I had a Hot Pocket last night. In order to warm it up, you must use a CRISPING SLEEVE. I just like that word. CRISPING SLEEVE. I am going to try to work it into normal conversation, as in, my EVIL BOSS should be put into a CRISPING SLEEVE and fried (or over-crisped, at minimum). Don't have an EVIL BOSS right now but that doesn't matter.
Bow down to ALANIS and Oliphant,
I got cat class and I got cat style.

p.s. i like this quote: "please ponder your policy of perpetual procrastination" I heard this from a toastmaster friend recently, and no it was not said to me. So there.

give me a double honey

"If you came to make trou-ble, give me a double, honey, I think its good."
--From a song I overheard at the Starbucks on Gaston Avenue a couple of nights ago. I don't know who sings it. She had a mellow, jazzy voice. It is my new credo. GIVE ME A DOUBLE, HONEY.
I am at my parents' house blogging. I went to Toastmasters this morning and I am tired.
I went to Fantastic Sam's Monday to get my hair cut. (Yes, NDH goes to Fantastic Sam's. Do you think I can afford an expensive hair cut?????????) My stylist matter-of-factly informed me that he likes to drink water but it makes him go to the bathroom all day.
I like F.S. because it reminds me of when I was little and used to go there to get my hair cut. I got my hair cut up to my shoulders. At the end, my stylist asked me if I wanted shine spray and I said yes. This was a new thing for me --I don't think I've ever used shine spray. I enjoyed the decor, such as the signs that said things like, That Hair of Yours Is No Wallflower. The sign is right, That Hair of Mine is No Wallflower.
The other day (July 4th) I was going for a walk near my apt. and I accidentally got caught staring at this woman's house. It was a pretty big blue house, really old and on a street near my street. It was funny that she pulled up and I was like gaping at her house. I quickly walked away.
You all must buy a Glade clean linen candle. I got it at Walgreen's but I'm sure you can also find it at Target (Tar-jay) or wherever. It smells great, like freshly washed clothes. I plan to light it while I am writing my short stories so I can breathe in the clean linen.
Gotta go,

picking bananas out of my fruit salad...on a Saturday

Dear Blogger Friends,
now that I am done picking bananas out of my fruit salad to eat, I can effectively blog. Yes, bbb loves the potassium-filled fruit.
Did you know that this wednesday is the birthday of O.J. Simpson (yuck),Tom Hanks and John Tesh???????????????? Play a little instrumental piece in honor of Tesh.
I went to a neighborhood party yesterday. I got to try some red wine and my own rice (delicious!!!!!!!!) It was fun, bbb is such a good rice-maker.
I find that I keep getting checked out in my car. Sometimes it's ok, but I wonder, what is the universal sign (besides the commonly understood middle finger) for "stop leering at me through your windows?" If anyone knows, let me know.
Music news: I really like that song that goes, "shake- shake- shake- shake- a-shake-it." They play it on 106.1 Kiss FM a lot. I don't know who sings it. Every time I hear it I turn it up. It makes you wanna shake it.
Don't do anything nugatory,
Holding it down in the 75214,

p.s. I spent all day saying, "must blog" to myself. Phew, now I can stop saying that.

buzzin

I went to a cool restaurant last night, Buzz Brew. Its on 75 between Lemmon Ave. and Fitzhugh St. (not sure if Fitzhugh is a Street but oh well). It has fun decor and is a fun place for breakfast or lunch, or just to hang out. Don't have the chicken fajitas, but other than that its good. Supposedly it is owned by the same guy who owns Cafe Brazil. Anyway I had fun.
Talkin' more about Coldplay: I really like #7, Viva La Vida, along with #4, "42". In Viva la Vida, Chris Martin sings about when he ruled the world, and its really cool. I could go on and on, but you should hear it for yourself. It has a mystical sound. Just go and buy the group of ditties, durnit. I've been listening to the CD before I go to bed. (yes, over and over).
V. excited about Alkaline Trio July 22. But I still need someone to go with.
I leave you with this thought, gentle readers (hopefully its plural, ha ha): Life is Not a Bowl of Cherries, but can't I just have more cherries? (don't copy this please).
peace out,

*Puke-ini Sisters*

hello faithful readers:
I have been listening to The Rise and Fall of Ruby Woo, by the Puppini Sisters--actually I only listened to a couple of songs before the CD started skipping. so lame.
But there is a very good cover on there of Walk Like an Egyptian. You should all buy it. NOw. I mean now, now, now. Now. Besides I like their name. Their name kind of reminds me of puke (puke-ini sisters), but I like it anyway. It makes me wonder, how does one become a Puppini sister? Are they really sisters? I am perplexed by the Puppini sisters. Notice the alliteration.
I have been listening more to Coldplay, and I like track 4, "42." I have been listening to it over and over. Mostly in my car. As you have noticed, I drive a lot.
Enough wednesday blogging,
Get Low.
Go and buy The Puppini Sisters.
chillax,
BBB

shorty got low

I'm going to start out this blog by telling you, devoted readers, that you should all listen to or buy the single "Low" by Flo-Ri-Da featuring T-Payne. The album is not out yet, so unfortunately you will have to buy the single right now. On the cover for the single, Flo-Ri-Da has a very LARGE tattoo, but you will have to buy the single to see what I mean. Yesterday I was stuck in nightmarish traffic and I blasted Low and it made my experience a little more pleasant. I'm going to look up the lyrics because I'm not sure if he's saying "boots with the spurs" or "boots with the fur" in the song. But I think it's "boots with the fur."
The lead singer from Tripping Daisy died in my apartment, on Oct. 28, 1999, from an overdose. EDG (read previous blog if you do not know what this means) is not creeped out by this, in fact she finds it interesting in a gory sort of way. I'm claiming it as my little piece of rock history. Wonder if anything eerie will happen on Oct. 28?? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm???
On a final note, you all must buy the new Coldplay album, called Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends (don't know why they titled it that because that is not QUITE an accurate translation--maybe Chris Martin is trying to confuse us). I haven't listened to it enough to have a favorite song yet--but it still kicks ass. i have also been listening to Coldplay's last album at home a lot recently.
I heart Coldplay.
Get Low,

happy father's day

happy father's day to anyone reading this...
bbb is back. I am no longer North Dallas HOmegirl, I'm an East Dallas girl now. I moved to a new apartment, in the Munger Place area. I'm digging it.
Now to get a little toasty:
I joined the Toastmasters back in March. The group I joined is the Executive Toastmasters, they meet in Addison at the IHOP at 7 a.m. Wednesday mornings (its early, I know). They are a great group, anyone who wants to improve their public speaking should join. If you're not in Dallas, look for one in your area. They have them everywhere. NDH/EDG even spoke about this blog at one of the meetings. toastmasters rocks.
okay, gotta make this short--I'm diggin' Amy Winehouses'album, Back to Black. (Ok, I know it came out like a year ago or something, but who cares?) I esp. like track 2, You Know I'm No Good. Good to jam to in the car, as I have been doing.
I also have been doing some work for US Weekly, stalking Tony and Jessica. they are very stealthy.
Bow down to Amy winehouse and the strawberry shortcake ice creams (not sure who makes them) from 7-11.
And bow down to 102.1 The Edge bc I won tickets to see the Alkaline Trio at the House of Blues July 22,
