Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down

From the Washington Post:

Even with yesterday’s hopeful peek of sunshine, the numbers are astounding: Since May 1, the Washington area has had 11.93 inches of rain, more than twice the normal 5.61 inches at Reagan National Airport. That is nine times the amount of rain Seattle got during the same period.

Yes, Seattle.

We’re living in a place that is rainier than Seattle!! Jeebus save me!

Guess who I’m going to meet on Saturday? Our own AtomicTom!! Whee! We are meeting for lunch at Tysons. After 6 months of talking with him on the phone and in email, it will be fun to actually meet in person and hang around a bit.

And this sums my life up:

Once in a lifetime – Talking Heads

And you may ask yourself
What is that beautiful house?
And you may ask yourself
Where does that highway go?
And you may ask yourself
Am I right?…Am I wrong?
And you may tell yourself
MY GOD!…WHAT HAVE I DONE?

Letting the days go by/let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by/water flowing underground
Into the blue again/in the silent water
Under the rocks and stones/there is water underground.

Same as it ever was…Same as it ever was…Same as it ever was…
Same as it ever was…Same as it ever was…Same as it ever was…
Same as it ever was…Same as it ever was…

Last night I was channel surfing (so much more fun with digital – “57 channels and nothing’s on”) and VH-1 was doing their countdown of the 100 greatest songs in the last 25 years. I saw the video for “Once in a lifetime” and that’s what reminded me of those (oh so apt) lyrics. I liked seeing a bit of the videos and also hearing the story behind the songs. But gad! Do some people NOT age well? For example – Rick James? EEEEEK! Dude – you look almost as bad as Keith Richards! Lisa Marie Presley? Your 15 mins are up, missy. Hustle your ass stage left, won’t you?

Anyway, I realized that I could have watched that show all night so I turned it off and went to sleep (perhance … yeah yeah).

Is this day over yet? It started off crappy, can only get better right??

RIGHT?

alright then

dammit
