Interesting read: Pet Shop Boys Song-by-Song Commentary. Yes, all you wanted to know about their wonderful music. I like the fact that they named their first album “Please” because “they got a kick out of imagining thousands of teenagers “forced” to be polite by asking record-store clerks for “the Pet Shop Boys album, Please.”” [via A Day Late]
Robyn said to go visit Kevin’s site – Reflections, so I did. Hey, I’m her wife. I listen to her. But while she mentioned that she & Kevin are linked thanks to Oklahoma, she didn’t bother to mention that he lives here in Houston with me! And I have to say, I truly enjoyed reading his take on the Enron situation. Oh yes, Ken Lay … cry me a river. I have been paying close attention to it all lately because one of the managers at work worked for Arthur Andersen… at Enron! Yes, the partner that they forced to resign was just a manager away from him, so he knew him. What does that make me, like 2 degrees of separation from this whole Enron mess?
It’s been a busy mom day today. Pinewood Derby was this morning, and my Dad was the chairman for it for our pack. Jason’s car placed 8th overall! Well, to put that in perspective – our pack is pretty big. When Jason registered his car was number 91. I think we had over 100 cub scouts participate. So 8th is pretty high up there! The top two places were taken by boys from our den, so that was pretty exciting for all of us, since we had a car building night earlier this month. They had a lot of fun, and of course that is what matters the most.
We didn’t get home from that until about 1pm and had to leave again for mass at Jason’s school at 5pm. He had to be there 10 minutes early and it’s about a 20 minute drive, so we weren’t home for long inbetween! It was pretty nice – he sang in the choir and really enjoyed it. Two of the boys from our cub scout pack also go to his school and one of them is in his class. I am glad because I think that has helped to make the transition to a new school a little easier. Plus it’s so nice to see them all in their uniforms, neat and tidy. Brings back memories of my Catholic school days! Love the plaid! (Yes, Catholic schools. 8 years. Explains a lot, huh? *wink*)
Time to settle in and work on my long list of blog projects … I need to add photo log entries so that Jennifer can test things out with the layout. I need to set up Neurotic Fishbowl for Kymberlie, including making a layout for her. I want to make a new skin for this site. And I am going to hook Robyn up with skins so she can make new designs all the time! (Done!) She’s a celebrity now, have to keep the public happy!
Must remember to add Why People Suck to my list of reads. I keep forgetting to put it over there in the sidebar. Must do it. Soon. Maybe even tonight!
Do you miss it? I know I do. When is it coming back? I know they are doing a second season. I want it now! So I got a fix over at Kevin and Drew’s site – “they came pretty close to winning CBS’s The Amazing Race” There are a ton of pictures there – which could be much better organized of course if they had a photo log – even a photo Drew with THE Guido (Team Guido’s dog, Guido, hence the name of the team…) And look! “We will be covering the Superbowl for Rosie O’Donnell. She is giving us a film crew to use as we please and we will re-appear on her show after the game to show the video we shoot.” Cool!
OH! Look! More! Links over to other sites! Frank & Margarita’s site is listed, but it isn’t really full of goodie info yet. Their is a link to Rob & Brennan’s site Oh look, Rob’s passport is up for auction. That’s just wrong. Very wrong. Come on guys, you won all that money and yet… ah, whatever. And there is a link to the infamous Team Guidos’ site! Team Guido Sucks! Nah, not really … they turned out to be ok guys in the end.
Wow. A yummy lunch with the co-workers. Some Amazing Race photos to relive the memories. Jennifer hooking me up with a kick-ass layout for my photolog. What more could a girl ask for?
Gasp! Hoopty is going to think I don’t love him! *Waves at Hoopty!* And Dawn too! *Waves at Dawn!* It has been a crazy day, but I am so happy for the Bloggie nominees! (I actually found out that Robyn was nominated for a Bloggie through IM and just found out about the others.) I am so proud of EVERYONE that I know that was nominated! I love you all! (*mumbles* … now they had better remember me in their acceptance speech, not like Sarah Jessica Parker blowing off Matthew Broderick…)
