Friday Shuffle - The Briefly Updated, Somewhat Late with Dots Edition

  • We're in my hometown for the annual February birthday shindig.
  • We had to drive through a blowing snowstorm last night to get here. I think from now on, this family should only celebrate birthdays in May, so we don't die on the way to the parties.
  • I called my mom during the miserable commute (I was in the passenger seat; no way would I have been yapping on the phone had I been driving through that shit) and told her, "I need to talk to your friend, the doctor," which is code for "break out the Dr. McGilicutty's booze because I need a drink." My 59-year-old mom hides her booze so that her tee-totalling 81-year-old mom won't bust her. Problem is, when you're 59 years old and you hide your booze, there's a good chance you'll forget where you hid it. After I made her go on a booze hunt, I was too tired to even do so much as a shot when we got here.
  • Three-year-olds should not be presented with brand-new tricycles at 11 PM if there's any hope for a reasonable bedtime.
  • As of 7 PM tonight, we'll know if our second offer on The House has been accepted. Call the doctor, because I need some nerve tonic, as my nerves are shuffled.

1. Angels and Fuselage - Drive-by Truckers
2. Tomboy - Bettie Seveert
3. Is This It - The Strokes
4. My Darling - Wilco
5. Miss You - Rolling Stones
6. You Don't Seem to Miss Me - Patty Loveless and George Jones
7. I'll Sleep When I'm Dead - Warren Zevon
8. The Needle has Landed - Neko Case
9. Proud Mary - Tina Turner
10. Room 13 - Black Flag

One of these days I'll get ambitious like my librarian pals Kristina and Katya and link to the albums on the shuffle. Not today, as I'm already a little drunk.

I bought a bottle of Romanian wine for 1.59€ today while grocery shopping. If your offer is accepted, I'm busting that bad boy open.

Yes, email me too! I will give you the potholder set of your choice if the deal goes through!
Anything from Romania is awesome. We used to drink Cheap Red Wine (real name) that came from there. For $4.00, it was way better than you'd think.

Never mind...I just Googled Cheap Red Wine, and it's from California. What the heck did I drink from Romania?! Something from Manzo's?
