T.G.I.F.N. *
Anybody ever listen to the music of Dizzy X??? I've only heard SupaSaturation (radio version), Los Angeles and Show Me. I'm really liking it. I don't know who Dizzy X is/are but I'm going to be finding out. There are both male and female vocalists and they're awesome.
Any fans of Paul Westerberg? I recommend the Open Season soundtrack which features his music, including Love You in the Fall with fellow ex-Replacement Tommy Stinson on bass. The song made Spin Magazine's November 2006 Songs You Need to Download Now List.
PD went to the dr. today and got some antibiotics and basically a pat on the butt. There's a lot of "this" going around and not a lot you can do aboot it but let it run it's course. She only gave him the abs because he's had it for so long. She didn't need to see me, as it would be "a waste of my time and money." I'm to take OTC cough medicine, Tylenol for pain and keep moist heat on my ribs. So there is that. In the meantime, it feels like there is a gyrating ice pick burrowing into my right lung.
Right now I'm listing to a tune called Hollow of Your Hand by Jeff Black from the album Tin Lily. A great song. I don't know why I and other people still say "album". I think it's a musical snobbery term. Rather a term used by music snobs. I think that's what I meant. Like when we say "vinyl" and shit like that.
I was trying to make a post here without including the following subject which upset me to no end today. I just really didn't want to bring it up cause I can feel myself getting all tense and pissy again. Maybe if I get it off my chest I'll feel better. I will keep it short...
I was taking part in a conversation today with two co-workers, one I know very well and respect highly. The other I don't know quite as well but held (note past tense) in fairly high regard. That is until I asked her why she thought a certain senator from Illinois couldn't be elected President. "Because he's... *lowers voice*... black. . . No. No ... *shaking head vehemently*." She wasn't saying that she thought he would have trouble getting votes. She was saying that No, I will not stand for a Black man in the White House. I am sure that she was aware that I had to pick my jaw up from the floor. I was dumbfounded and speechless and sick in my stomach. I had to just turn and walk away. There was nothing I could have said to this kind of ignorance. I thought getting this out would make me feel better. I was wrong.

I still cringe when I hear members of our family use that word. Who was it??
SIMON: I'm very glad you feel the same way I do aboot this lunacy. How aboot those people who talk like that to other whites and then when in the company of another race act all normal and accepting? To me that's aboot the worst form of hypocrisy. Those people scare the hell outta me.
JU: I don't think you ever met her. No reason to...
