I've had "I Am a Rock" stuck in my head for some reason this morning. One of the many, many LPs my parents had was Simon & Garfunkel's Greatest Hits, and I listened to it quite a bit when I was little. I ought to get myself a copy! Also, the White Album. "Ob La Di, Ob La Da" was the road trip theme song for me and my dad. Somewhere there is a travel diary I wrote (for my mom, who stayed home) when he and I drove up to visit Brown when I was a high-school senior, and it has things like "10 AM: Green road!" and "noon: Ob La Di, Ob La Da" on it. I didn't note that we were only in Maryland long enough that I lit a cigarette as we entered, then he had one, and then we were out. :-) My dad knew I smoked in 1990. My mom didn't officially know for another 7 years.

My boss is visiting Seattle this weekend, so we get to hang out. Yay! She is a really cool boss.

Tonight I'm probably taking my new scarily short hair out to a show for the first time. Lee Rude & the Trainwrecks are playing and I lurve them.

edited to add: I have finally gotten around to reading The Eyre Affair, which many of my friends were raving about a while ago. Anyone else lagging, read it now! I was pretty tempted to stay up all night with it.

I'm so happy, because the people who used to live in the other half of my duplex bought a house and want to adopt the big cranky cat who lives outside (he came with the house and I've been taking care of him)! Now he gets to have a fenced-in yard and be an indoor kitty and generally live in luxury. I've always felt bad that he has to stay outside with the cold and the racoons who steal his food, but he doesn't play nice with other cats, so he could never come in. Now he will be an only cat. HURRAH!

In other news, Shippou's drawings in episode 38 of Inuyasha? Cutest. Thing. EVAH.
