Dang it, Mom, I'm wearing my head gear!
I was listening to Little Red Corvette on my way to work this morning. I don't know why I bother listening to lyrics anymore, since none of them make any sense. I'm pretty sure that this particular song is an extended metaphor about things I don't want to think of Prince doing (ewww!), but I'm not sure exactly what. This is why I never did well in my English classes when we studied poetry--I always wanted to shake those Emily Dickinson/Sylvia Plath-types and yell "Stop babbling and get to the point!"
Lil J's been doing better with sleeping the last few nights. In fact, I would say he's been doing excellent except for the fact that the neighborhood morons, oops, I mean kids have been waking him up playing basketball at 11 p.m., 3:30 a.m., etc.... Last night, they woke him up at 10, and as I was sitting there trying to calm him down, I was actually envisioning setting those kids on fire. Only for a second, but I'm still kind of disturbed with myself. Normally I only fantasize about maiming celebrities, which doesn't count as a bad deed since they're not actual people and all.

You know, I recently heard that Little Red Corvette was one big metaphor and then I REALLY listened to the lyrics and EWWW!
So, any luck on the house hunt?
We're still working on getting our house ready to list. J thinks it'll be done in the next week or two. Thank goodness! Then we can get serious about this!
I just recently found out "She Bop" by Cyndi Lauper was about, um, well, self-pleasure.
I think a judge would understand your maiming those neighborhood kids.
The neighbors' kids were also using our driveway as a basketball court/bike ramp/skateboard park yesterday afternoon. I have about a dozen scratches on my car that weren't there before these people moved in. Argh. It just astounds me that the parents don't try to rein them in. I would never let Lil J think it's ok to damage other people's property like that!
Did you guys know "Turning Japanese" was about that too?
What's wrong with those kids/parents? This is nothing in comparison, but a kid in my neighborhood was roaming back and forth between 2 houses, crossing my lawn and driveway on his bike and then decided to play Ding Dong Ditch at my house repeatedly. Little idiot didn't realize that when he was "hiding" I could see him in the reflection of my car. I think I scared the crap out of him when I came outside and asked him if he needed something- ha!
Ha! Get him! I know, kids can be kind of annoying in general, and I'd be all right with an occasional thing like that. But these kids have been running around unsupervised for almost a year now. I'm amazed they haven't been hit by a car. They play in the street all the time...and probably run with scissors, too.
I'd have to check the statutes to be sure, but I'm pretty sure it's legal to kill by immolation anyone who wakes up your child. ;-) I actually threatened the life of my next door neighbor (who I normally love and my kid calls "Uncle D") when he rang the doorbell during H's crucial falling asleep period. I can't imagine what I'd do to a bunch of little brats who were already pissing me off.
And that's a legal professional talking! Whoo! :)
These crumbgrinders really don't want to mess with me. I've slept better lately, but that just means I'm getting 5 hours of sleep a night. By no means am I sane.
