6(182/26) down, 6(183/26) to go...

How can the year be half over already? Where has all the time gone? Where, I ask you?!

Now Playing: Save Ferris - Angry Situation

What ever happened to those guys? Monique was super cute.

Well, it's 3:30am, and while I'm contemplating bed, I realize that I'm at a complete loss as to what to write.

Main interesting events of the day:

-A visit from a friend for whom I volunteered to try and fix her car CD changer. The visit got so distracting, that I completely forgot to reinstall it while she was here. Nice.
-My two favorite girlfriends had a date tonight, their second such experience with one another, and I couldn't be happier for them. Can't wait to hear how it went!
-A/C at the house is offically on the blink...it's been over 80 degrees fahrenheit all day, with a high of 87. Ever try to have sex in 87 degree heat? Not that I did; it's just a hypothetical. At least it wasn't crazy humid. And lucky it wasn't hot/ sloppy/ wet/ messy sex. Again, hypothetical. HVAC guys are coming in the a.m.
-My internet is also wonky, all kinds of crazy packet loss and general browser/chat client unhappiness. It makes for a maddening internet experience.
-Watched a highly interesting episode of Good Eats wherein the knowledge of how to make (cure/smoke/store) homemade bacon was imparted...Yum! Gotta try that one, I bet it'll turn out fantastic...(also learned on another episode that oysters, like crabs, shouldn't be eaten in months not containing an "r", or the summer/warmish months)
-As I write this, it's been exactly .5 years (more or less to the hour) since I met my new "family" (yeah, I know, I need a better comparative term, but what can I say? It's not my fault that the only analogous verbiage I've come up with has a slight incestuous tinge...) So y'all know who you are, happy pseudo partial anniversary, (in best Cartman voice) I love you guys, seriously...don't make me say it again! [snif] It's been the best six months of my life, and as far as I can tell, shows no signs of abatement. Here's to hundredfold extension of this adventure, it's going to be nothing if not engaging. Our respective imaginary grandkids aren't going to believe the stories!

Now Playing: Air - La Femme D'Argent

The Silver Lady? Hrm, wonder what the implications are there...quel mysterie! Great chillout/ambient tune, though, (as is the rest of the album, Moon Safari, I highly recommend you pick it up or illegally download it) to have in the background while one schmoozes a chick's pants off. Again, hypothetically. While we're on the subject of chillout/ambient, here are a couple others you should check out for that sort of thing: (I can't attest to any song's particular or effective SPRQ (Specific Panty Removal Quotient), but put these bad boys on a CD, and y'all should be GTG, as the IM/text kiddies say (Good To Go).

-The aforementioned Air songs, plus a couple others here and there that I'm not mentioning specifically
-Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes (Gabriel and Dresden Chillout Mix)
-Oceanlab - Satellite (Forest Dehan Mix)
-Ferry Corsten - Holding On
-Lux - 100 Billion Stars
-Zero 7 - Various...Destiny, Somersault, In the Waiting Line, Give it Away, Polaris...etc.
-Various Thievery Corporation - Lebanese Blonde, All That We Perceive, Shaolin Satellite, and a few others I know by sound, but can't remember the names of...more chill than ambient. (Have I mentioned that I've been to the 18th St. Lounge and know the bartender there? Cool place, check it out if you're ever in DC, It's pretty happening/hip)

These last two aren't really full-on chillout/ambient, but they're slow enough to be on the fence...

-Brother Brown featuring Frankee - Under the Water (Club Radio Edit)
-Dubstar - Stars (Dance Mix)
-Blank and Jones featuring Robert Smith - A Forest

Hrm...not too bad a list, if I say so myself...I'm sure I'm missing more than just a few, but it's late, and that's all I can come up with off the top of my head.

The holiday weekend is shaping up to be a very good one, with tomorrow's highlight a potential meeting of a myspace hottie slash genuine pseudo TV starlet. I'll let you know how it turns out...who is it, you ask? Perhaps I'll clue y'all in once things go well...til then, a little suspense is good for ratings...
