tobermory's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What was that I said about updating every day? It would appear that I am getting naughty about updating again. I�m trying, really I am, but work has been a bear of late and the weather here has been so unseasonably warm that all I want to do is go outside and be in the warm, fresh, sunny air. I bought a new pair of rollerblades that are fan-freaking-tastic � lightweight and fast � and Steve got our bikes out of the basement. Wheee! Watch, next week it will snow just to show me up. So. I�ve been listening to Live 365 internet radio at work (as I mentioned before) and I totally groove on the Generation 80�s channel except for the fact that it seems like every time I tune in I hear Love and Pride by King. Eh. It does take me back to high school when I used to go to Vintage Vinyl (mentioned often in The Time Traveler�s Wife and alluded to in numerous John Cusack movies) where I would eagerly buy these strange British pop music magazines that came with a 12� vinyl samples of the whatever bands they were gushing about that particular month. Generally speaking, as a confirmed Anglophile and card carrying tortured youth stranded in suburbia I was ready and willing to lap up whatever band of the moment that they were pushing, but I never quite got one of their main push-ees, King. Was it one guy? A band? I never took the time to figure it out because in my opinion they/he sucked and the guy/main guy had an atrocious mullet (I was willing to accept Bono�s (scroll down on the link) early 80�s mullet because U2 was so totally awesome!, but not King-guy�s because they were bogus). Now that I have to hear Love and Pride about once a day I can honestly say that not only have my tastes not matured enough to appreciate King, but in fact I still think they/he sucks. Speaking of vinyl, my dad picked up right where my mom left off and he�s now asked me twice if I have any plans of removing my (semi-massive) collection of vinyl from his basement. Um�.. same response mom got: I�ll take them when I move upstairs and Steve hooks up my (super-cool dj) turntable. My suggestion? Bug Steve to get the upstairs done soon � the faster I�m up there the faster the records go away. I have tomorrow off work (hooray for whatever Jesus did on Good Friday) and Steve and I are going to Intuit to check out a cool found photography exhibit and then I�m going downtown to meet my friend Barb for our spring drinkies at Vong�s Thai Kitchen. I have plans for the rest of the weekend to keep me busy but I won�t tell now (don�t get excited, they�re nothing overly interesting) otherwise I won�t have anything to say on Monday.
