iCrack, camping and peanutbutter.

As Marvin aptly put it, the apple music store is iCrack. It took me a bit of time to get my account set up and browse the store. Then Simon's father called and bumped me off the internet. (Someday I'll get DSL or Cable modem, right now I'm just lazy and don't want to dish out an additional $30 per month for it. Plus I've heard horror stories about ComCast (formerly ATT&T Broadband) and Qwest so which is the lesser of two evils?) Anyway, I sucessfully downloaded three songs for $2.97. I'm hooked, I want more music. I want a bigger and badder iPod. I want to quit my job at the insurance company, wear hot pink vinyl and be DJ Kungfukitten for local clubs.

Simon went camping last night by himself to do a preview of his camping trip this weekend. I suddenly remembered what it was like to live alone. Me and my kitties had a lovely evening. I took a bath with the door open so they cats could come and go, we watched British comedies, and I ate a peanutbutter sandwhich without anyone making retching noises and saying "gross, how can you eat that." It was delightful. Of course, if he had been gone for more than one night I'd start to miss him and get bored and lonely.

I spent most of last night updating my computer so I can log onto Apple's Music store and start spending all my hard earned cash on music to put onto my iPod. My iBook is only one year old but still I had to spend about five hours (dial up) downloading the upgrades to OS X, Quicktime and iTunes. I think I'm finally all updated and ready to get some music. Any recommendations on what to download? Ever since I saw the Apple ad for the music store I've been humming Sir Mix-a-lot's Baby Got Back song.

This was just sent out to our department via e-mail:

"With temperatures predicted in the 90's by Thursday of this week, you'll be happy to learn of a change to our dress code policy that was recently approved by the management committee. Effective immediately, the previous requirement that bare toes not be visible has been removed and dress sandals (this does not include birkenstock or beach-type sandals) may now be worn, without nylons or socks."

The whole issue of "toe cleavage" has been an ongoing dress code debate for the last eight years. People have been written up about it, publicly reprimanded and sent home (is that really a deterrent?) So for the management committee to go to such great lengths to allow women to show their toes in public is a freaky big deal around here. Finally, I can flaunt my pedicure.

Human bowling ball maneuver.
2003-06-03 9:41 a.m.

Last week when I came into kung fu class I saw one of the kids playing Magic cards with another student. I thought to myself, gee, I've got a huge box of those that has been sitting in my closet for the last seven years. So last night I dug it out and brought it to kung fu with me. I thought the kid was going to have a seizure he was so excited. There must have been four hundred cards in that box. I kept a couple of decks at home that I had made ages ago in case I ever regain interest which I probably won't. The kid told me I was his favorite person. When he told me I looked much much younger that 34 I told him he was my favorite person. In kung fu class last night I drilled kicks until I thought my knee caps were going to pop off. After that I got to learn two new punching combinations. Fun stuff. I especially like the one where we drill stuffing our fingers in someone's eye, ear and jaw. Sort of a human bowling ball maneuver.
