My Italian Job

So Gina needs a car after returning back from OZ and finding her poor Saturn coupe is not running ( due to not changing oil - how does that happen when I'm not even in the states to drive it. Hmmmmm.) Lets UPGRADE my set of wheels. What do you think I would like best in, not get in a car accident and finally have power locks? I was thinking Jeep Wrangler but after my save the earth make over I went back looking. This week my love of the week is a Mini Cooper!




________________________________
One from the original Italian Job


I test drove one today. yum yum vroom vroom. It felt like like it was my very own. Now can anybody teach me stick - seriously?

Hot town, summer in the city

Hot summer night + 4 hot mamas= a excellent night on Brady Street.

First stop: The Nomad: Where the guys are guys and the women drink beer too. Except for me because I know I can get a cheap g+t (gin and tonic) I've renamed my drink to a "gina tonic". If you say it real fast your server won't even know the difference.

Second Stop: Vucciria's: We're not in Milwaukee anymore. Who can resist martini night? Not us. Usually I'm a bit razzled after a cosmo but this greeno didn't have me in. We bounced to the beat of Dj Soto and when our eyes couldn't take any more light changes we headed across the street

Third Stop: The Garage: A sardine can of posh people. Time for a Spotted Cow, why? easy to order and fast to serve, no need for this busy bartender to make a drink I want one now! (Later on I get a Hacker Phsoer where they have to take the time to pour it right and top it with a lemon, note: this drink is very had to dance with). I ran into my brilliant co-worker we all had a good time talking it up.

Last stop: my bed: no heels allowed - one water served on ice - fan on high.

Whores on the Hill

There is this excellent book I just finished reading it's called, "Whores on the Hill". It is based in Milwaukee, late eighties at the last all girls school. The book is filled with car rides to the east side, dancing at Metropolis, movies at the Oriental and trips to Kopps. The story revolves around 3 out of control girls who take pride in being tagged the whores on the hill. Whether it's making out with boys, sneaking out of the house, having your first boyfriend or cutting class we've all been there. It will make you wish you could go back and cut your skirt and grab that one guy you've lust over and smack a big wet one on him. Well maybe for some.

It's TOTO!

TOTO came and rescued me from a drowning in a well. I mean we fought the wicked witch of the west and gave the tin man a heart. We sort us - this is my pup pup Lexie also known as the urinator because everytime someone new pets her she tend to piddle on them. Very cute, I know. She also thinks she is a cat and perches on the couch. She sleeps a lot and just is cute for 24 hours. Unless she is in a car, this is when she foams at the mouth and maybe puke if you don't put her on stable ground. Her and I wait for her sister to come home from her adventures roaming the neighborhood looking for the food. Lexie has some good stories but won't tell all of them to me: )

My Horoscope

So it seems my horoscope have been pretty accurate the past couple weeks. Here's mine today.

Capricorn:
"It's super-tempting to do something that feels good in the moment, but consider the consequences of what will happen later, not to mention how you'll feel following your actions. If you know you'll feel lousy or filled with regret at not stopping yourself, why do it? So refuse to jump into this snake pit. Treat yourself with the respect you deserve. Aren't you worth the best care around?"


What would feel good right now is revenge but I'm frankly not in the mood for all that jazz. Now I will gather my dignity and do what is right for me. currently: walking out the door to the sunshine. future: walking out the door to the sunshine : )

TOP Movies

I'm going to start recommending Movies, Books and other sorts.

Today is: one of my all time favorite movies.


L' Homme du train ( Man on a Train)

>> A small french film. Two strangers meet. Each has a completely different lifestyle and they wonder what would have happened if maybe their life was like this person they just befriended.

working with the breeze

It's 3:00. I'm sitting in my apt the windows open and doing freelance work. Ya I might rather be sitting by the lake reading or running through the sprinklers downtown. This is my ideal work situation: working from my powerbook with the wind flowing in.

I'm thinking about getting a vespa. what color do you think I'll look best with?

Good People

I think Jack Johnson's lastest album lyrics suck. Sorry Jack, but you can't write a good song with the lyrics of "staple it together". He has excellent instramental parts but the lyrics are not as stunning as the previous albums. Jack, we need more songs like cocoon and symbol in my driveway. There's meaning there. I can sing this to someone while I am shampooing my hair. I might tell my co-worker to Staple it Together but who signs to their co-workers? Take that back I did it today - (laughing at myself)

I've been recomended Ben Lee and Alexi Murdoch. They are like 17% Jack Johnson and the rest themselves.
Songs to listen to : Ben Lee : Gamble Everything for Love and Alexi Murdoch: Song for You.
