At the beep, please leave your name, number and a brief justification of the ontological necessity of modern man's existential dilemma and we'll get back to you.

This journal is "friends only."

I left out a few posts for the public to read but most of them can only be viewed if you are a friend.

Add me as a friend and I will probably add you back. And it is in this instance that you will be blessed with the ability to read my inner-most thoughts.

When I was a kid and we got behind on our bills sometimes, we didn't have power. When it was winter, I remember putting the milk outside to keep it cold. Our heater was gas. We used candles when it got dark. I remember sleeping on the balcony in the summer but I don't remember if the power was out or not, I just remember it was very hot in the apartment. One time we spilled candle wax on the hard wood floors and we scraped it off with butter knives which scratched up the floor horribly. We hid it from our mom with a rug but I think she found it. I took long baths every night and I would read in the tub. I remember reading in the tub by candle light.

I wonder if Paul McCartney is going to get his songs back.

Happy 4th everyone!!!

Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom... Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution... but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!

In October, an arson torched a nearby abandoned place. It was a beautiful old building that my husband and I have wondered about for years. Why is it was abandoned? We would always dream about buying the property and making a house out of it a la HGTV's reZoned.

Here is the article in our local paper about the fire. Scroll down to the multi-media section and look at the slide show. There are pictures of the building before the fire and during the fire.

Today my sister and I parked near the building and walked around it to take pictures. However, the city has put up a fence around the structure. We were trying to sneak through the fence when a neighbor man told us to keep out. We were scared that we were going to get in trouble, so I stuck my lens through the chain link fence to take the pictures. They have put steal support beams all around the building so it won't fall down. The building is way beyond saving though. It is practically hollow, and you can see down to the basement. I know they are going to have to tear it down, which is sad.

Sanjaya is a nut.

They all are, but he really is... nuts. Loopy. Very strange indeed.

Taylor Hanson's new band (with James Iha from smashing Pumpkins!)

Well the last two Jack Black movies I've seen have been disappointing-- Tropical Thunder & Be Kind Rewind. Both movies pretty much sucked. I always look forward to Jack Black movies because I love him and think he is so funny and have seen so many comedians nick off his mannerisms and sayings. Particularly after the movie School of Rock, I really became a big fan. Well, once again, a Jack Black movie is coming out and I am looking forward to it-- but I'm scared that I am going to be let down again. Year One looks pretty funny from the previews. Michael Cera is great too so... we shall see.

Lobster, steak - juicy & rare, crab salad, mashed potatoes on which you can see the melted butter & a strawberry milkshake. And for dessert...

I'm trying to drum up some interest with Donnie to make a hanging curtain from the ceiling to separate the living room from my office. And........ I found instructions on how to make the rod really cheap at instructables.com (my new favorite site). He's dubious.

Maybe I'll just do it all myself.

But I guess I have to get permission from D since it is our home.

What say you, Donnie?
