Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Pried the Arctic Monkeys out of the CD long enough to put in the Raconteurs, which came in the mail yesterday. It’s KICKASS! Gloriously derivative in all the right ways – Beatles-y, Zeppelin-y, and just excellent in its own right.

Also, bought another container of that toffee and ate the entire fucking thing… in a day. I am a disgusting pig, but a happy one. Y’all forgive my pooch in the pictures from the next few days!

And it’s FRIDAY! And it’s karaoke-time! WAHOO!

Oh, and did anyone catch the reference in the title of the last post? If you did, then you were probably friends with me in the 8th grade. 

One more update while I’m doing updates. For those who’ve known me for a while, you will understand that it is HUGELY wonderful news that Hamilton got a real professorship at the University of Leeds for next year. He doesn’t read this blog, so he won’t see your congratulations if you post them here, but you know… if you know him, feel happy for him. This has been a long time coming. If you want his info to send congratulations, let me know, and I’ll hook you up.

Hooray for Hamilton!! That’s awesome. Tell him Smooochie said “WooT!” or whatever that might translate into in the U.K.

Yeah, he totally deserves it. While he had hoped to return to the US, at least it’s a permanent position so he can bring his cats over, settle in, live somewhere nice, and get the respect and perks he deserves.

i’ve listened from 1 to 13 a few times, and forgot to do ‘8 to 12’. great stuff esp. 10.

i love almost all of it. i even like 7 and its story about a hooligan’s gentle tale of powerlessness against authority, and 13 has some great lines of pop criticism that would Ray Davies would be proud of…

Totally. And you’re right. The lyrics are excellent.
