This is the one where all my eggs are in one basket.

I’ve just realized that all of my social eggs are in Mr. D’s basket.

Mr. D is leaving for a week-long trip to Ireland tomorrow.  Aside from this being the first time I’ve spent so much time away from his hot body since I met him in December, this is also the first time that I will be without anything on my social calendar for an entire week.

Anyone in Phoenix up for dinner, movie, rock-climbing, drunken karaoke, hookah bar (do they have those in Phoenix??!), late-night Starbucks people-watching?  Hit me up.

This is the one with a quotation.

This is the one with inappropriate singing.

I sometimes think of myself as a human jukebox machine. And my musical mind gets triggered by small phrases or words. Someone says, “I gotta pee…” and I start belting “Oh, I’m no one’s wife, but…Oh, I love my life.”

Or when someone asks that popular fragment, “how long?” I start humming “I could cry, salty tears….where have I been all these years? Listen you…tell me true…How long has this been going on?”

A few years ago I was having a good conversation with a friend, and she was complaining about her love life and how she only dates jerks, and I was consoling her…at the end of the conversation she jokingly said, “Mike, will you marry me?”

I laughed and told her that we would make a good couple if I was straight…the normal B.S. that gay boys tell their hags…and then for some unknown reason I started singing.

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty women your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

I couldn’t control it! It just came out of me.

I didn’t think of my friend as an ugly girl, but talking of marriage just delivered that song to my tongue, and I couldn’t think of anything else.

Needless to say she was a little offended. But that is nothing compared to the blunder I made yesterday. I was helping one of my co-workers complete a project, and she was in a really shitty mood (I won’t bore you with all of the back story). One important detail is that this coworker has muscular dystrophy and is parallelized from the waist down.

So we are sitting there working, and I’m trying to put her in a better mood, and all the sudden I burst into song.

Get on your feet
Get up and make it happen
Get on your feet
Stand up and take some action

Gloria Estefan’s Get On Your Feet.  I cringed.  She didn’t respond.  But the horrible part of this story is that I kept exploding into different parts of Get On Your Feet for the four or five hours that we sat together…and I couldn’t help it.

I have absolutely no control over the song archive in my brain.

This is the one with World-Wide Wednesday.

It’s Wednesday, y’all!

** Baseball Field Guide – Baseball season has just started, so I thought you might enjoy this link to an in-depth (illustrated) guide to the complete rules of major league baseball.

** Ballparks of Baseball - This is kind of geeky, but I kind of find it interesting to take a look at all of the different ballparks in the US.  This site lets you.

** Phatterism - This guy named Luis has a kick-ass website.  The content is just whatever…and he doesn’t update very often, but the design is stunning.

** Robot Johnny - Scroll down to the Excelsior 1968 yearbook.  This guy drew cartoons of his mother’s 1968 yearbook….you can buy a copy, or you can check it on Flickr.  Love it.

** 13 Sites For Unique Textures – You always google and end up using the same boring texture library when you’re photoshoping, right?  This site compiled 13 texture libraries and half of them were brand new to me.

This is the one with 12 of 12 for April.

12 of 12 is a little project where people all over take 12 photos of their lives on the 12th day of each month.  I’ve been a little ill, so I ended up falling asleep really early.  I would usually take tons of photos and pick out the best 12…but this month I had to go with the only 12 I had.  You can see my entries from previous months here.

I wake up SUPER early on Saturdays.  My blood glucose levels were spot-on.  Hooray!

I’m on the road before the sun has fully risen.  Holy shit it’s going to be a long day.

After work Mr. D. drove to the bowling alley.  He made me and Jenie sit in the back seat with nobody in the passenger seat.  Odd.

The bowling alley was set up for cosmic bowling.  The big video screens has a loop of videos that was probably made in 1997.

I’m sick, and I think I was actually napping in this photo.

Balls.

It’s hard to read, sorry.  My high score for the evening was 111.

Outrageous.

During our last game the lights mysteriously turned on.

For some reason I kind of thought the bowling shoes were comfy.

Dinner at Sweet Tomatoes.  They don’t have these in California…think Soup Plantation crossed with Hometown Buffet.

This last photo was taken 2 minutes before I passed out on Mr. D’s couch.  I was an annoying boyfriend this weekend.  I just slept, coughed, and complained the entire weekend.

This is the one where I’m sick.

For about a week now I’ve had a nasty cold.  Not just one of those annoying colds that allow you to still operate.  This cold is intense; last Saturday I was unable to swallow my own saliva, and I kept waking up with cold sweat because of the fever.

Today I actually feel better.  I slept most of yesterday (thank you Nyquil!), and I am going to go sit out in the sun for an hour, then come in to shower and probably spend the rest of the day in bed.

I have to finish watching Lawrence of Arabia which is a three-hour movie.  In my opinion, movies that cross over the two-hour point are too long.  Maybe this is one of the best movies ever made, but it already starts out with a deficit in my opinion because of the length.

This is the one for you on Monday.

What’s wrong with her eyes?!?!

Happy Monday, y’all!

This is the one with a quotation.

This is the one about LOST.

I’m starting to think that the title of the show LOST is not in reference to the passengers, but to how the writers want to make the audience feel.  Here is a funny video I came across that outlines a few questions many of us have about this show:

** Savage Love Podcast – I’m kind of loving the Savage Love podcast with sex-advise columnist Dan Savage.

** Volunteer Match – This is a great service for non-profits and people looking to volunteer their time with a non-profit.  Search in your area and in a field that you’d like to donate your time.

** Daily Color Scheme – They just throw together different color schemes and it can be kind of inspiring for graphic designers.
