It’s Stuck and It Won’t Get Out!

I’m just a bill.
Yes, I’m only a bill.
And I’m sitting here on Capitol Hill.
Well, it’s a long, long journey
To the capital city.
It’s a long, long wait
While I’m sitting in committee,
But I know I’ll be a law someday
At least I hope and pray that I will,
But today I am still just a bill…

Come on, sing it with me! It’s stuck in my head – now it can be stuck in yours too!

Congressman: He signed you, Bill! Now you’re a law!
Bill: Oh yes!!!

Today’s Deep Thought…

I’ve been saying it over and over since I started watching all of these Seinfeld episodes (see my last post) – is it just me, or is the Blogosphere itself a lot like watching Seinfeld? The show about nothing is just as entertaining as the blogs about nothing, don’t you think?

Over and over, I keep wanting to say “Get out!” It’s all Elaine’s fault…

Bop Bop Chisanbop…

I left out the amusing part of my lunch with Jen yesterday. Ok, wait – there were a lot of amusing parts – but some things are best left at the table between friends! Anyways, when we got the check, Jen was looking at it and figuring out how much her part of the bill was. She put her fingers on the table in the chisanbop pose to count! I almost screamed – I thought I was the only person that knew chisanbop! My Mom taught it when she worked with the gifted & talented program in Kankakee. She was even certified in it.

Does anyone else out there know chisanbop?

We’re Not in Kansas Anymore…

We’re at Kaveh Kane’s. I don’t like coffee or tea. Or beer, which they also sell here. Mike offered to go over to Crazy Horse Cantina for me to get me a drink to go. I almost asked him to get me a margarita.

Oops. I guess we’re not in New Orleans anymore, where you can get the margaritas – or any drink, really – to go. Damn. And it sounded so good after reading about Dania’s Key Lime Pie.

Haul U-Haul Haul…

After a long day at work, Mike and I decided to meet at Josephine’s for dinner. Yummmm… As we finished eating, I noticed a gorgeous sunset was taking place on the edge of town – so he sent me off to chase it to hopefully get photos of it from the same place I took my last skyline photo. (I got some, I’ll post them soon.) We decided to go to Kaveh Kane’s afterwards to hang out. Yes, I’m sitting in a coffee shop on a Friday night, typing this.

I met up with him here after my photo shoot, and there was a man sitting over by the bar. I kept looking at him, over and over. I knew I knew who he was. I definitely recognized him, but I had no clue why. Who was he? Why did he look so familiar? Finally I overheard mention the Flying Fish Sailors. Mike and I looked at each other and said, “Oh! The Flying Fish Sailors!” We heard them last year at the Renaissance Festival and they were FANTASTIC!

Being the geek that I am, I had to go up and say hi and tell him about my confusion over not being able to figure out who he is. Turns out that he is the host of a radio talk show, and he invites all the fans out to Kaveh Kane’s once a month to hang out. We just so happened to hit fan night.

Good food at Josephine’s and now this … this night is really making up for the day I had! Now I want a copy of their CD so hopefully I can get this Haul U-Haul Hual song out of my head… (Psst… you DVN fans will probably love these guys!)
