Talk to me....
I just got back from a big ugly meeting. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I need a hug!

3. Local politics.
Was it funny? Was it ugly? Some of both, I guess.

I'm glad I brought that flask of vodka. :evilgrin:

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.

I wrote up this long blog entry but posting it might not be the right thing to do. :7

16. Perhaps (at another time) you could re-enact it for us.
We need a good performance of the DUDQ. It's been a while.

2. Laugh.
If you cry, that means they got your goat. Never let them get your goat.

By the way, you have excellent taste in music, judging by your avatar...

:hug:

12. I was really impressed by her new CD.
It's called Seven Year Itch, in the unlikely event you haven't heard of it. It's a live reunion of Siouxsie & The Banshees, and has got some excellent tunes on it. She doesn't have the voice she had in the early 80's (but then again, who does?), but they managed to capture the sound and emotion they put into it when the band was still together. If you don't have it, it's really worth looking for.

18. Ooooo. I'll have to find it.
I did go see her at Coachella live, but somehow I managed to miss the CD.... she looked just as good live as she did in the 80s, too.
