Blogger Notes

Oh my gourd. I have no time to in-depth into this right now before I go to work, but this is definitely going to be well-explored this weekend. Online Kara-O-Ke: the future is NOW.

The doc beat me to it- This is so exciting! Wooo HOOO!

I'm so glad I'm not going to be the only person singing to my computer screen this weekend. :)

male heterosexual with dignity = i dont participate in karaoke :)

The Doc, I'm so psyched!

Shannon, we should have gone karaoke when we were in Milwaukee!! I guess we sort of did if you count the big screen 80s special.

Laurie, I've been waiting for something like this for A WHILE!! TANKS!!

Josh, welcome to my blog! I know plenty of male heterosexuals that karaoke. You may have something with the dignity thing, but I think worrying too much about your dignity isn't much fun ;)
BTW - I tried to comment on your blog and that stupid word verification thing wouldn't let me.

To quote Homer Simpson a la your husband: WOOHOO! My husband is going to be so excited about this.

Elizabeth, I've even begun thinking of planning a party at my house around this!

And look at me, stuck in the dark ages, changing out CD+Gs.

Derek,???

Syl: That confuses you? See, back in the days before this "online karaoke" stuff you speak of, us KJs had CD+G discs with "songs" on 'em. Folks would request songs and...

you get the idea.

Derek, oh, I never knew the techy part of karaoke. The karaoke that I have done, at bars and my brother's party, was all preloaded on a computer. I feel so new-school.

do some crossword puzzles! Staves off the alzheimer's, I'm told.

And this is a prime time of the year to be exercising. All the cool kids are doin' it.

I'd sex an old chick if she were still hot and fit and whatnot.

Derek, I've been doing sudoku, does that count?

LBB, uh, I'll keep that in mind.

People tell me I look ten years younger than my true age. I chalk it up to exercise and staying out of the sun. So you go girl!

OldRoses, most people think I am ten years younger than I actually am, but every once in awhile I'll meet a person who mistakes me for being in my early 20s. Such nice, nice people.

I'm calling this one the Lovie-Dungy Super Bowl...which sounds a little dirty.

Doggie booties? In our neighborhood, all the dogs make fun of those unless you get the Nike ones. Those are cool.

Gosh, Superbowl???? I don't even know who is playing. What a bad American I have become.

We just finished the "superbowl" of the cricket world. That was kinda fun for a change. Missed the half time show.

Hope it warms up for you. I have heard your winters have been brutal.

Wow...that's cold...

It's 75 here.

NOt that I'm rubbing it in your face or anything. :)

Steve~

Superbowl? Is that why the grocery store was empty?

SSB, what about Dungy-Lovie?

Shamus, we almost got him the Nike ones, too. But he already gets laughed at, so we saved ourselves the money.

Wendy, I learned about cricket from a Bollywood movie "Lagaan". I recommend it!

Steven, at least we have snow this time. I hate it when it gets cold and there is no snow. What's the point?

OldRoses, it was -20F here and Sam's Club was PACKED Saturday. Definitely Super Bowl weekend!

Thanks for the bday wishes! You've got great answers and you're right- that punchline "again" is f'n hilarious.

You forgot to mention how your mom took the copy of Embraced by the Light that you gave to your dad and underlined all of the passages that she liked.

TRUE STORY: I love "The Stand " by Stephen King and while I was dating my wife, I told her that she needed to read it. I had two copies, so I gave her one and I decided to read it again with her.

During the time we were reading it, we both got so sick. Noses running, coughing, etc. It was almost like we caught the Super Flu.

Needless to say, it freaked both of us out.

Shannon, what I really love about that punchline is that it can make things funny that are normally not funny.

SSB, my mom can be so inconsiderate.

Tayster, I think that he has a way of tapping into your psyche so deeply that he can actually affect your real life. Now THAT'S a GREAT (and SCARY) writer!

heehee! bunch of 12 year olds ;)

ESC, takes one to know one ;)

Wow. When sheet goes down in our house there's no giggling!

I wouldn't put with that sheet from SSB if I were you.

AG, it was some funny sheet though!

Shannon, I do take a lot of sheet from him, but I give it back too.

Dude, that sounds like a CAOH that we had... my husband is always doing that "sheet" pun...

Elizabeth, I once drove three hours with two of my passengers doing dairy puns. I almost drove us into a tree.

Love that show, "This American Life". Missed that episode, maybe I can find it in their archives.

Seriously, we could've had a story or two on that show!

I caught that show...I must agree w/ Shamus- I love that show too.

Landlords must deal with the worst side of everybody.

Shamus, click the link in my post, then click "2007" on the left and "The Super" is the first show on the page. This quote came from the last act on the show.

SSB, I was going to post about our initiation into landlording, but that's a LONG story! Maybe some day when I have more time.

Shannon, I know that it is really popular to criminalize landlords, but I think that most start out nice and helpful and just get grisled by all the crap the renters throw at them.

My ex wanted to buy a rental property. I refused because he wouldn't spend any money to keep our house in good repair. Can you imagine the results of him refusing to do repairs for tenants????? We would have been in court every other week!

OldRoses, I've never been taken to court by any of my renters, but I sure have taken more than a few of them to court! They never show up, so I always win. Not that I wouldn't have won anyway.
