Belly Button Update and other stuff, my aim is to please
Dear Loyal Readers:
Overheard in Starbucks today (corner of Preston and Alpha): "I got my belly button pierced in Junior High. I wanted to do it so bad I did it in the school bathroom." Yuck! From a Barista (maybe she was Asian?) talking to a guy with a lot of tattoos. The guy said he had done at least one of them himself, which I guess prompted the comment from the belly-button barista.
I was at McDonalds (on Beltline Rd., near Preston) last Wed. and wrote this blog post out while I was there. To make it more authentic (you are damn lucky), I will just copy it directly (written at 8:35 a.m.--I was eating a McGriddles sandwich--yes I go to McD's that early): This woman just walked in with a see-through purse. Does she want everyone to see what's in her purse? I checked and there's nothing exciting (not very much in there at all). The contents of my purse are more exciting. Yes, believe it or not, NDH has an exciting purse. If you pay me I will show you the contents!
The inauguration is tomorrow. Oh well, I will not be there. I will eat a Barack Obama cupcake or something.
I have been listening to:
The Clash, The Essential Clash. I never really got into them before, but a friend just loaned me their CD. It is a 2-disc set, (more for your pleasure!) On Disc 1, I love Track 19, Groovy Times. Track 17 has a funny name: Julie's Been Working for the Drug Squad. Proceed to your nearest record store (maybe Good Records on Greenville Avenue?????????????--your welcome for the plug) and buy it. It's an 80's rockin' party treat. Or a guilty pleasure. Sort of like Twix bars and diet Pepsi. Oops! that's my GUILTY PLEASURE. MY BAD.
Bow down to The Clash, Twix bars and cupcakes,
Alice

Rosary Monday and Neneh Cherry--is she still doing anything these days??
Hi Blogger Friends:
The other day I was in Hacienda Chichen Itza, a Mexican restaurant and panaderia (look it up--Mexican bakery) on Greenville Avenue , and this boy who was helping me, about 16 or 17 years old, had a cool rosary around his neck. I was going to tell him I liked it but I was too busy trying to balance my Rosca de Reyes and my Target purse.
I won a book at a business book synopsis group Friday (First Fridays, it meets at the Park Cities Club in Dallas). It's called Outliers, by Macolm Gladwell. Yay, it is my homework for the next week.
I heard that song Buffalo Stance by Neneh Cherry and I was totally jammin. I heard it this week while I was driving around. I like the line about: "wearin' padded bra, suckin beer through a straw." I think I was in 6th grade when that song came out. Ahhhhh, Neneh Cherry memories. I used to have her album.
ok, going to go bc I have to run in the morning.

Don't expect a free meal from Denny's.
Trying to think of a Super Chillsauce blog for Y'all:
Here is my fish oil story, then I will tell a Denny's story (aren't you lucky?????). I was at Whole Foods (Greenville Avenue store) on New Year's Eve, and I asked a guy where the fish oil was (I have heard it is good for the brain and for concentration) and he led me to another girl. When I told her I wanted fish oil, she said, "OK, are you looking for+
I told her I was looking just to get it down. Then she started blabbing for 2 hours on the different types of fish oil. I really wasn't looking for a lot of help, just to find out where in the store it was. Before I grabbed my fish oil (the smallest package they had) and left, she gave me a "Word to the Wise": take it with food, so that you don't feel it coming back up in any way. Word to the Wise, Word to the Wise.
My birthday was Thursday. (Yes, I am now 32--is there anything momentous that goes along with being 32? Not really. BTW I am the same age as Sarah Michelle Gellar). I went to Denny's on I-75 near Royal Lane with my parents. I told the waitress it was my birthday, thinking it would score me a free meal. The waitress said, "Happy Birthday!" in a cheery way. Great, but not exactly all that I was hoping for. I did not get a free meal, and did not realize until after I left that they had charged my dad for the meal. Also, the French Toast I ordered looked like it was just thrown on the plate. Maybe the cook was in a hurry, or maybe he does not like making French Toast.?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Question mark overkill.
My birthday was ok otherwise. I got a promise of a car and some clothes from my mom, and also some money, nice cards and a delicious cake.
Um, that's all for now folks. Out with the old, in with the new and exciting.
Bow down to Coldplay (and if you have not bought Viva La Vida yet, please go and buy it). Coldplay is not new but they are exciting.

I'm back...Mmmmmmmmmmmmm .... this Yoplait is SO good, I want to stop watching dumb Yoplait commercials.
ok, eating Yoplait for your info.
I am not writing a long post, but I was listening to the radio this morning and heard that song "One Headlight" by the Wallflowers. I really like that song. Is that CHEESY????????????????????????????????????? question mark overkill.
I am now on Facebook. Yay? Nay? I don't know yet.
I have gotten two Facebook Disses (that term should be in the dictionary). I thought Facebook was supposed to be about social networking and RECONNECTING. My Bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just wanted you to know, I flossed last week. And I tried a new type of floss. I think I will floss more often.
Remember: CAUTION, the contents of this blog are EXTREMELY HOT.
Peace,

Curly Fries and Little Joy should bring you a Little Joy
I went to A & W the other day and could not get curly fries. THis is sad and disturbing. Are there no more Curly Fry-A & Ws left???? Curly fry lovers, unite and rise up!!!!!!! Fabrizio Moretti (drummer for the Strokes), Binki Shapiro and Rodrigo Amarante (collectively, Little Joy) played in Houston last night at Warehouse Live. I like their music, mostly reggae-inspired, guitar-laden tunes. Binki's voice was funky, almost like Sara Burellis (sp.) or Janis Joplin. The place was packed, with the Youth of America there. Fabrizio signed my album outside the back entrance. On their album, Little Joy, I like track 2, BRAND NEW START. I also like track 4, No One's Better Sake.
It was an awesome concert--so bow down to Little Joy ...
That's all for now, kids. Be thankful -- for green lights and cowboy boots (and whatever else you are thankful for). And call your mother.
Bow down to curly fries,

Coldplay Is Frighteningly Good Live
Dear gentle readers:
Welcome to my blog, where there is SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.
I saw Coldplay at the American Airlines Center last night (Nov. 19). Plenty 'o fun observations: miniskirts, boots and scarves seemed to be the popular items of the evening; my Viva La Vida (name of their album)T shirt was $35; i sat in the nosebleed seats but still had an OK view; the first two acts I didn't pay much attention to bc I was hungrily waiting for Coldplay; the first act was called Sleepercar, from El Paso; i had a hot dog and a Coke while I was waiting.
Getting hungry so I'm going to make this post MUCH shorter than I wanted to (darn necessity for food). Coldplay played for about 1 hour, 45 minutes. During several songs Chris Martin skipped around the stage in a cute leather jacket and jeans (although my view was limited by being in Section 327). Coldplay did more new-album songs than older stuff. They played the two songs I wanted to hear the most, "42" and "Viva La Vida," off their new album. During one of the early songs, Martin gave a plug to "Medieval Times" (N. Stemmons Fwy) restaurant, saying it was near his hotel. OK, I'm there.
You should buy Jimmy Dean's Breakfast Bowls, the pancakes and sausage one. They are delicious. Only takes a few minutes in the microwave.
TARGET Tip of the day: I got some legwarmers there for $7.99. I got two pairs.
I am going to write about my Writing Adventure soon.
For you die-hard Coldplay fans, "you didn't get to heaven but you made it close,"
Peace,
bbb
