I found a new CD World ... Yay!!! and Welcome to the Special 1989 Edition

Here is the homeless guy (James) I see on Preston Rd. and Royal Rd. I'm not sure if the image will appear so I will keep it short. I saw James the other day and asked him why he wasn't at Mockingbird and Greenville, where he usually is, and he said, "I move around."



I found a new CD World. Yes, the mourning period for CD World is over. I went to CD Warehouse, on Beltline and Marsh Lane, today.
CD Warehouse is the new CD World because:

-I liked the decor.

-It's an independent record store

-I need a new CD World.

Why CD Warehouse is worse than CD World:

-They did not have the 2 CDs I wanted. OK, OK, Blue October--a Houston band--does not release its album until March 24. But they did not have a Beastie Boys CD, Paul's Boutique, that is being reissued (See Below!).

-Workers had less metal in their FACES.

I bought a DVD, Vantage Point (with Matthew Fox), for $8.99. It is research for a short story I'm writing. So, watching the movie has a combined purpose--enjoyment and RESEARCH.


BB News:
The Beastie Boys have reissued "Paul's Boutique," their 1989 album.
I did not get it when it first came out but I want to get it now. For more info, go to:

If that does not appear on your lovely screen, go to:

If you do not like this album, your replacement Beastie Boys album can be License to Ill. I think it is from 1986. I got this when it first came out. It was required listening in the fourth grade.


I am taking a class on being more assertive. It is April 21 and 23, at a local college. When I called to register Friday the guy on the phone said I was taking "the first step to being a more ASSERTIVE WOMAN." ???????????????????????????????????????? I would write WTF but I think the question marks are enough. yes, it is question mark overkill once again.

POP ROCKS make a nice snack if you are looking for a new snack.
Peace,

Go and buy a Bob Dylan Album.

Hi all,

A black cat crossed my path today. Although I was disturbed, nothing bad or terrible happened. It crossed my path while I was driving in my car and I wanted to run it over but I didn't.
I have a new psychiatrist. His name is Dr. Vobach. I don't know if I should write that, but oh well. He let me take a picture of him the other day.
Enough blabbing for now.
Try to work the words (combined, or separate if you must) "harmonic perturbation" into your normal everyday conversation,
Peace,

Cookie crumbling

That's the way the cookie crumbles. And it crumbles, and crumbles, and crumbles. And the grass is always greener and all that good stuff.

Hello I am dissing my bed to blog for you.

Dear Loyal Readers:

I just ate some meatballs from ikea. They were delicious. Wow! How did you do that, you say, at 10:25 on a Sunday night? I bought them from ikea when I went Saturday. With my Fabulous Cooking Skills I simply put them in a bowl, covered them, and put them in the microwave on high for 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Wow, a delicious meal in 3 minutes and 30 seconds. I also ate some carrots just for variety (which I skillfully microwaved). So next time you go to ikea BUY SOME. Yes, I am bucking the trend and writing ikea in lowercase letters. But NDH can get away with it.

Also observed at ikea (Houston) : They should have a sign outside stating that a requirement for entering is that you must be dressed slobbily. Simply an observation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! exclamation mark overkill. I did go in the morning, maybe Houstonians did not have time to dress normally, but still.

I told this guy (maybe in his 40s)in a Michigan sweatshirt that I liked his sweatshirt and that I went to school there and he smiled politely.

My last ikea observation: Who could use that many containers and laundry baskets?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? question mark overkill.

I was at church today (St. Monica's in Dallas). There is a portion where you are supposed to pray for a bunch of different people (the sick, the president, and more). Then the reader says, "Now let us pray for our own Special Needs." Well, I was not done praying for my Special Needs when she said, "AMEN." That is not fair.

I really like a song I heard last night, I just discovered it is by Cracker. It's old, but I sitll like it. Lyrics are: "Being with you girl, like being Low, Hey, Hey, Hey, like being stoned." If you do get a chance, you should go to the record store and buy it. In fact, buy it immediately.

Have to go be church-y and pray for my Special Needs.

Photo That You See to the Right

The photo at right was taken at the scary gas station. After High-level Negotiations I was able to get the photo. One of the workers, Marley (sp.?), said no, then yes, then no to a photo. The other guy, Umess (they are both Indian), took this photo. I am standing right in front of the cash register in the photo, where I normally pay. I gave the employees this blog address but I don't know if they will check. Anyway, now you readers get to see what the scary gas station looks like. And there is a new photo of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! exclamation mark overkill.
Your favorite negotiator,

bbb

E-mail Addled, You are hugely addicted to my blog.

Hi, Back again... With a Vengeance...

Now that I am E-mail addled (I've been checking for a while, and tired of staring at the screen) I will attempt to do a blog post. Pardon Moi for any cheesy mistakes.


On the airplane coming back from Mexico the other day, this is what I overheard from a girl sitting somewhere behind me (in a loud, obnoxious voice -- I would reenact but you cannot see me through the screen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! exclamation mark overkill ):
"If we get into a crash, is this seat belt really going to protect us? It should have a shoulder strap. It's not like huge scientific bafflement." Wow, I have not heard the word bafflement in a sentence in a long time. Luckily, we did not get into a crash, that is why NDH is still here and can still blog. But it was raining the day I flew back.

I've been listening to Leona Lewis, Spirit. Even though I am not a big fan I bought the album anyway because I like the song "Better in Time." It is track #4. Good song, I may listen to it tonight. Thats what's in the changer.
And I have been listening to Faux Fox. It's still v. enjoyable.

I like wearing my hair with one side only up. It confuses (and addles!) people. It's like an optical illusion.

Well, have to go for now.

Jack White (the White Stripes) was my inspiration for this blog.
Be Delicious,

always unique bbb
