I ran into my old friend Jenny at Giant Eagle just now. That was a huge shock. I haven't seen her in, like, 6-7 years. She's been happily married for about four years now and they're expecting. She's four months along and now I've been invited to a baby shower in October.

It's a little surreal.



New songs I've been enjoying...

Sara Bareilles - Fairytale

Cinderella's on her bedroom floor
She's got a
Crush on the guy at the liquor store
Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore
And she forgets why she came here
Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood
For shame she says
None for you dear prince, i'm tired today
I'd rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming

Cause i don't care for you fairytales
You're so worried bout the maiden though you know
She's only waiting on the next best thing

Snow White is doing dishes again cause
What else can you do
With seven itty-bitty men?
Sends them to bed and calls up a friend
Says will you meet me at midnight?
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
Would have cut it myself if i knew men could climb hair
I'll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows

Cause i don't care for you fairytales
You're so worried bout the maiden though you know
She's only waiting on the next best thing

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story said that i should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
But i don't want the next best thing
So i sing and hold my head down and i break these walls round me
Can't take no more of your fairytale love

Cause i don't care for you fairytales
You're so worried bout the maiden though you know
She's only waiting on the next best thing
I don't care
I don't care
Worry bout the maiden though you know
She's only waiting spent the whole life being graded on the sanctity of patience and a dumb
Appreciation
But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending
Cause i don't want the next best thing
No no i don't want the next best thing





Mono - Slimcea Girl

(Coming with me!)
As she walked down the street
The rain began to fall
He called out, but she passed on by
Like she never noticed him at all
Then the words of a song
Remind her of those days
Sees herself in the
face of a stranger
Sat in the station road cafe
She remembers the day
When things were going her way
Only memories remain
Of the way she used to be
The way she used to be
She stay home every night
And exagerates her past
Now he knows that the Slimcea Girl
And she lives alone in Prozac Park
All the old photographs
Were never thrown away
She looks through them for
what made her cry
Then she decides live for today
She remembers the day
When things were going her way
Only memories remain
Of the way she used to be
The way she used to be
(Why don't you come with me?
I'll come with you!)
The way she used to be
Way she used to be
She'll never go back again
The way she used to be
Way she used to be
She'll never go back again
Hum?





Abney Park - All the Myths Are True

And fiendish tales, all the myths are true.
Scientists have unearthed enormous skeletons
They think we've disproved that all the myths are true.

"Year after year, science finds explanations, scientific reasons behind all the legends. They think this proves history was not as myth has
shown it, but in fact it proves that all the myths were true."

The ruined remains of an ancient city
Deep underwater, all the myths are true
Scientists have unearthed enormous skeletons
They think we've disproved that all the myths are true.

"...a giant crater is all that remains of what was once the largest city..."
"...currently all the graves stand empty. Government officials estimate damage to the neighborhood at well over $200,000..."
"...the death toll is rising, scientists are scrambling to find some way to stop the massive..."
"...dozens witnessed the attack, no one saw the attacker..."
"...a fishing schooner off the shore of Iceland, wrapping its tentacles around the hull and pulling it under..."
"...found this man to be well over 200 years old. In his cellar was found dozens of jars of frozen blood, human blood..."
"...whereabouts are currently unknown. Police warn citizens to stay away from the forest..."

Deep in the forest, half-crazed witch doctors
with their herbal magics. All of it is true.
They've found traces of neurotoxins in
the zombie's bloodstream. All the myths are true.

Ancient nightmares, archaic legends,
Enigmatic dreams. All of it is true.

The last one makes the cryptozoologist in me giggle with sadistic glee.

I ran into a co-worker today who has a baby. where it didn't really surprise either Ash or I, it still seemed a bit strange.
Let's all to the time warp, bb!
