All the money in Tokyo couldn't make me stay

[vovat]

In my dream last night, I had bought a new car (or I was IN one, anyway; I'm not sure if I'd bought it) with a couple other people I didn't know. The person in the passenger seat decided to start the car, but apparently didn't know how to drive, so it just started rolling down the hill. It crashed into a gate, but then ended up breaking through. I managed to steer it back to the lot, and then applied the parking brake, which seemed to work pretty well. I think it might have still been rolling a little, though.

Today, bethje and I went out to eat (as I had mentioned in an earlier post that we might) at the Olive Garden. I always enjoy it there, and I had a gift card to cover part of the cost. I had the new shrimp scampi alfredo, and Beth had the chicken castellina.


Both of these are from majellen:

And I had to take this one, since I was an obsessive fan of the Winnie-the-Pooh books before anything else.


Take the 100 Acre Personality Quiz!

I'm probably really more of an Eeyore, but I can see Owl, too. Possibly Piglet as well, but I couldn't see myself as any of the others.

I've been listening to Get Lost, the Magnetic Fields album that I just got from Beth. The only song from it that I already knew was "You And Me And The Moon," and that might still be my favorite. There are actually two other songs on the album with "Moon" in the title. Stephin Merritt must have a thing for Earth's natural satellite. Anyway, I don't think any of the earlier Magnetic Fields albums that I've heard come anywhere close to the quality of 69 Love Songs. They're still good, but there isn't anywhere near as much variety. I mean, it's pretty much impossible to have as much variety with an album of thirteen or so songs as it is one with sixty-nine, but I think i does a reasonable job in this area. The songs on the earlier albums had more of a sameness to them, I think. Still, I want to have all of them, and I like them all more the more I listen to them.

Finally, here's a link to an Onion interview with Stephen Colbert (thanks to dave_noisy for the link).

I used to have nightmares like that - before I had driving lessons, I was always hopping into a car and going off down the road, only to crash into a fence or some such.

I love Colbert. He does such a great job of playing the persona. I'm only depressed I haven't been able to see any of The Colbert Report yet.

I remember a dream from a few years ago where I was driving down a hill and my brakes didn't work. I guess that's kind of a recurring theme.

Well, that's what happens when your family has no idea what to get you for your birthday or Christmas.

You are no Eeyore. You're an Owl if you're anything. You're even an occasional Tigger, but you're no Eeyore.

Everyone thinks they're an Eeyore, even in this time of the New and Different, Less Depressed Song Singing Eeyore.

I'm gonna go take that quiz now. I hope I'm Rabbit.

My mom always told me I was Eeyore. I guess most people are every Pooh character at some time or other, although I don't know that I ever have been or ever will be Kanga.

Yeah, Eeyore has totally sold out.
