Song for Insomniacs (and people thinking about friendship)

Because of some information I got today about somebody else entirely, I felt compelled to check all available Google sources to ensure that there are no songs out there about Julies other than those by Bobby Sherman and Leo Kottke.

It appears, happily, that I am homefree and even more happily, I discovered Julie Doiron.

Snow Falls in November



Me and My Friend



You Canadians. You know you rock. Out loud.

Oh thanks. Now I've got "Julie Julie Julie do you love me?" stuck in my head.

Well?

I'm glad there are no other songs about Julies and that you were able to get some sleep after that :)

Great songs. My first time hearing.

"Julie, Julie, Julie, do you love me?

Julie, Julie, Julie, do you care?

Julie, Julie, are you thinkin' of me?

Julie, Julie, will you still be there?"

Sorry. I couldn't help it.

I hope we can still be friends.

Jeff, well if it wasn't stuck in my head before (that song----which I paid a hypnotist lots of money to block forever---KIDDING!) it is now after Gunfighter!

Well what? You want an apology? At least I only mentioned the dude's name, not even the song title or lyrics LOL!

Or wait, maybe you want an answer? Of course I love you! You are listed in my Reader after all! What better declaration could there be? And please do not let the fact that there are 115 other people in that Reader who I also love detract from the meaning.

Heidi, I hope you liked the new tunes!

Flutter, no doubt!

Gunfighter, after that little serenade? HUMPH! Okay who am I kidding. You stay in the Reader. :)

There's also "Hey Julie," by Fountains of Wayne.

(see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvUdr3Qc3f4)

I was ridiculously happy when I discovered this song.

Enjoy!

Julie Doiron was also in an amazing band called Eric's Trip, who were from where I'm living now. I loved them, esp her voice in early high school, and in a weird coincidence, I now live about a block away from the contact address listed on the album.

I should go figure out what house it is now that I'm thinking about it.

My point is, YES! She RULES!

Restaurant Trauma in Texas: How eating out prompted a really uncomfortable lesson about culture

WARNING: This is NOT a family-friendly post, aka the warning I WISH I'd gotten yesterday before I walked in. Yesterday was a Holiday. I hope you heard the scare quotes around that. Yeah, when you are an adult here is how holidays work: you, same workload as always, kids WOO HOO NO SCHOOL FREEDOM. Do the equation. The result is the day I had yesterday. If math isn't your strong suit I'm pretty sure you can still add that up but just in case let's say the highlight of the afternoon included me dumping out the mismatched sock basket and telling the children to have at it, in a way very reminiscent of Miss Hannigan of Annie . Anyway luckily I've taught my kids that Chores are Fun! and they had a good time. Later, I cranked up the fun-o-meter on a bank errand by dropping in the Halloween store to check out costumes, and upped the ante on "Mom needs new running shoes" by tacking on a "Hey let's eat out at a restaurant!" My husband was able to join ...

First it was cocktails and now it's marijuana?

Oh wouldn't Meredith Vieira love to get her graspy judgmental paws on this one: " I'm a Better Mother When Stoned ," by LJ Wilson (pseudonym) currently up at Babble (along with caveat that Babble doesn't endorse alcohol or illegal drug use while parenting). The only problem is I'm afraid I might end up nodding along with her as she rasps out a smug and self-righteous snarky comment that slams all parents who toke a dubie while parenting. Wilson writes I've been a weekend pot smoker since I was about eighteen. As a new mother, I continued the indulgence, but only when I was out and my son had a babysitter. I swore I'd never be stoned around my kid. And that plan worked for two and a half years, right up until one morning when my toddler waged a concerted campaign to fray each of my nerves. Wow. My first moment of disbelief was that it took two and a half years for her child to fray her nerves . That's some laid back well-behaved kid! Or some laid ...

It's cancer

Adenocarcinoma. This is a common form of colorectal cancer. From About.com Definition of Adenocarcinoma Let's break it down. "Adeno-" is a prefix that means "gland." In general, glands secrete things and are classified as endocrine or exocrine. Endocrine glands secrete things into the bloodstream, like hormones. Exocrine glands secrete things that go outside of the body, like mucus and sweat. A carcinoma is a malignant tumor that starts in epithelial tissue. Put the two words together and you get "adenocarcinoma," which means a malignant tumor in epithelial tissue, specifically in a gland. Cause of Adenocarcinoma Virtually all adenocarcinomas develop from adenomas. In general, the bigger the adenoma, the more likely it is to become cancerous. For example, polyps larger than two centimeters (about the diameter of a nickel) have a 30-50 percent chance of being cancerous. You can learn more about polyp size and colon cancer risk by viewing the Polyp Size...
