Friday Shuffle - The Completely Irritated Edition
First we'll shuffle my myriad list of irritations, then we'll shuffle the iTunes.
1. The audio and video drop-outs on my Tivo, rendering every program unwatchable. The cable company can't fix it until next Friday. (But they are giving us a 2-week credit on our bill.)
2. I'll be 33 years old tomorrow and my chin has become a large zit ranch.
3. Have I mentioned that I hate my birthday?
4. My grandmother died 14 years ago today.
5. Cranky, cranky child.
6. Public spelling and grammar corrections. I was briefly friends with the most self-loathing person in the world. The one thing that made her feel better: publically correcting spelling, grammar and pronunciation. She was bilingual, which made her twice as obnoxious.
7. I left a bag in Peoria containing Clara "Fusspot" Jane's favorite babydoll, my favorite pink t-shirt and a bunch of curry crisps Sal brought me from London. No one can find it.
8. Certain people who live in this house participating in a certain incommunicado behavior that drives me up the motherfucking wall.
9. I develop a cough every year that lasts through October until Thanksgiving. It's an unproductive, completely frivilous cough that makes me sound like I need an iron lung.
10. I should be in Cabo right now, celebrating the union of my pal Big Daddy B. and his partner Gabe. Instead, I'm in cloudy, rainy Missouri with my whiny child, my chin zits, my birthday dread and my bad spelling.
And now, the soundtrack...
1. Crucify - Tori Amos
2. Josephine - Tori Amos
(You know you're having a rough day when Tori shows up twice in a row.)
3. Very Ape - Nirvana
4. Four Kicks - Kings of Leon
5. Don't Know When But a Day is Gonna Come - Bright Eyes
6. Fly Me to the Moon - Frank Sinatra
7. Pepita - Calexico
8. Waiting to Derail - Whiskeytown
9. Cornflake Girl - Tori Amos (Really. It's a very bad day.)
10. Guantanamere - Celia Cruz

I'm sorry you're having a bad day -- I hate those days. Mine is mediocre today -- just blah. On the upside though, you have Nirvana and Frank Sinatra on the same shuffle -- how cool is that.

Three Toris in a shuffle? You need an exorcist.
I hope your birthday turns out to be the turning point for all of your future birthdays - in other words, a birthday that is simply perfect.
Sucks about the curry crisps. If you'd like I'll buy a bag of them tomorrow and eat them in your honor. I'll make that supreme sacrifice.

At least there was no William Shatner on that list. Dude, what is UP with that guy? (My random indredulousness of the day.)
