Van Buren was a sleazy hooker-laden street in downtown Phoenix. They may have cleaned it up since 1981.
From the Monday November 30, 1981 show. Thanks to Dave LeBlanc for the tape.
First up, "Happy Thanksgiving" by Johnny & His Leisure Suits featuring Willy de Loon. This was taken from Jonathon Brandmeier's November 25, 1982 Thanksgiving radio show on KZZP.
Ok. Loathes first:
I'm alone in my bed. (No cuddles for me.)
It's cold. And dark.
All the children in my life have Swine flu.
Some customers are just no fun at all.
Eric Cantor. He looks like a smug asshole. Maybe he isn't always that way, but every time they stick him on a TV screen, I want to spit on him. (That's how I really feel.)
Loves to end with:
It's fall and I will adjust to the cold and dark thing.
The shed's almost done, so I'll be painting soon. (This will probably become a loathe in a little bit, haha.)
I got some of my Christmas presents in the mail (I might have mentioned this already) and they are SUUUUPER cute. (Any etsy fans? Check out Down & Out Chic.)
I'm getting ready to curl up with Time Traveler's Wife. (I was going to start a few minutes ago...)
Things to look forward to:
Creating a packaging technique for the cute Christmas gifts I've received, since they all came in one box. (Time to get festive and creative... a bit early, I know.)
The weekend. I have off again on Saturday and I think I'm going to block off my morning for breakfast. I want baked oatmeal because it's delicious.
bobby and I were enjoying one another and walking to class together this morning and remember the girl I mentioned a a few days ago, who saw us and yelled his name and who didn't acknowledge me at all even though I smiled at her the whole time and then finally gave her a dirty look at the end?
yeah well we had a brief moment with her again today as we walked by (i saw her coming from farther away but I distracted bobby with loving glances) and she yelled his name again and said hi what's up, etc, ignoring me again. SO this time Bobby was like "Sorry" and I was like "That's okay. I gave that girl a dirty look the last time" LOL
and then I explained what happened the last time we saw her about how i was smiling the entire time and she didn't so much as glance in my direction so i finally gave her a really dirty look before it was too late. he laughed and said he was sorry, though why he is apologizing is lost on me. it's not his fault every girl hates me for having him all to myself and pretends I don't exist when they see us together.
class was okay. my teacher really likes my color scheme for my senior project. various blues and the text on a nice pale yellow background. they work together. thank you artistically minded boyfriend.
i'm really super nervous about getting my latin test back.
bobby grabbed me lunch before i left school and we ate together. we were talking about my schedule for next semester and pre-reqs. he said he gets chills whenever he thinks of how it worked out with me and that graphic design class.
technically i was supposed to take fundamentals of 2-D design first but no one told me that before i took it, and when i found out mid-semester no one told me it wasn't okay. so i shouldn't have been in that class at all, but i was and i found him. =) thank you universe.
my FINAL SEMESTER classes (!!!) are these:
-latin 2 (yes! i'm gonna make it i'm gonna make it!)
-poetry (SIGH)
-medieval times (hopefully not TOOO writing intensive.. it's an english course.. i don't want a lot of useless work my last semester... i am only taking this to fullfill the 12 hr full time req!)
-computer literacy (from my "other studies" quota to fill. i'm pretty sure this will be easy folks)
this week is busy and it had BETTER be productive!!
John tries a few tricks he learned from San Diego radio he heard over the weekend. Paul, however, is not interested.
"So... I have a theory. If we were to move in together right now... we would be eating ramen noodles every day for a year ... and I would be completely fine with that"
who'd have ever thought the sweetest thing would include the words "ramen noodles".
(in case you don't get it.. he's saying we'd be so poor we couldn't afford groceries, save for 40 cent packs of ramen noodles, lol... but he would gladly eat ramen for a year to be so close to me all the time) i feel the need to include the explanation because upon second thought, some might interpret this as "bobby really loves ramen noodles a lot".
Next week, I'll start posting Thanksgiving and Christmas songs.
"My Friend The Ghost" by The Dorsey Brothers got to #30 in April 1954.
