Jul. 13th, 2004

Yesterday, as we were laughing heartily at the latest installment of usr/bin/w00t,

quasisonic and I began to debate the origins and meaning of the phrase "my hed iz pastede on yey!"

We're pretty much in agreement (however off target though we may be) that the phrase originated when someone snarked at a poorly done photo manipulation. Are we correct? Also, anyone able to point us towards the proper usage of said phrase, we'd greatly appreciate it. We think it's basically used to describe ditziness or fuzzy-headedness, but we're not 100%. Got any theories? Dancing demons?

In other news, I:

stayed up too late last night (again)

am cranky about the weather

am concerned the concert I'm supposed to attend might be cancelled or postponed

am concerned said concert won't be postponed and I will be standing in lots of rain tonight (ugh)

am sick and tired of being Scanner Girl. This would be okay if I could make people's heads explode, but mostly it's just "I can't see this contract!! Where is it?!?! Can you put it in now? What about now? Now? ~~Make the words come back!~~" C'mon people, when you completely devalue my college education, you make the baby Jesus cry. Yes you do.

Ugh.

*goes back to work*

( It's bigger than straw henge and stick henge... )

Current Mood: curious

I have spent the last 15 minutes (while drafting a contract, mind you) quietly singing "It's a Sin" by the Pet Shop Boys to myself.

I sort of felt the need to share that.

I've also been contemplating making a mix of dance songs that have something vaguely to do with sweet things/dessert (but not that friggin Archies song). Am looking for suggestions.

So far I have:
"Chocolate" by Kylie
"Sugar" by Baby Bash & Frankie J
"Honey Honey" - ABBA

(It's a Sin might fit in on a technicality, but if you're familiar wtih the other tracks it kind of misses the mark in tone - it's so dramatic, while the others are sort of sexy & laid-back, which is the vibe I'm going for.)

And all this talk of food has made me the hungrier. I'm waiting 10 more minutes before I head out to the ATM and then to buy myself some soup.

Also, because I'm a lemming....
