The Universe sent me breakfast tacos and Girl Scout cookies today. I asked for donuts, but honestly I prefer the tacos and cookies. Can the Universe read my mind?
I put "spend gift cards" on my to-do list. Who does that? What self-respecting, childless 20-something needs to schedule shopping trips?
Do mortgages become subprime if the house loses value? I mean, the 20% equity that makes a mortgage prime?un-subprime? traditional goes away. What is the definition of subprime?
Why am I too lazy to consult Google to find out the definition of subprime?
Why am I disappointed that there are no crappy comedies out that I want to see? Why don't I have the energy to see an "Oscar movie"?
Maybe I just need a nap. I hope you have a wonderful, un-befuddled weekend Internets.
So what did I do? Well, I certainly didn't spend the morning thinking of nice-sounding baby names. Because I am not even engaged yet. And that would be psycho.
And I definitely did not imagine how different names would sound with middle and last names.
Or maybe I did. Just a little.
Oh god, I'm a crazy person.
Love always, Jane
P.S. I kind of blame my current semi-obsession with baby names on my overwhelming desire to know the sex of my new niece- or nephew-let. P.P.S. But mostly I think I just want to get a puppy and name her Daisy.
I am sorry that I have been neglecting you. I have been all kinds of busy with all kinds of boring things.
However, I did get tagged by my awesome fellow Texan, the Tex-Pat/Wandering Tex. Y'all know I love a good tag (especially when I need to squeeze in a quick blog post, and the rules are so simple). All I have to do is tag five people and list five songs that I like. And we all get to (maybe) discover new music. Everyone wins!
Here are my five songs:
1. Designs on You, by the Old 97's. (You know I couldn't start off with anything other than an Old 97's song. I had to hold myself back from listing only Old 97's songs.)
2. Two Way Monologue, by Sondre Lerche. (I had never seen this video. It cracks me up.)
3. Dreaming of You, The Coral. (An oldie, but goodie. "Pass it On" is another good one.)
4. World Spins Madly On, The Weepies. (I don't think this is the official video, but I like it.)
5. 1978, Salim Nourallah. (This one's for Wandering Tex - a video of a Dallas musician performing in Germany! Woo! Also, Salim Nourallah's collaborating with Rhett Miller on an album this spring, which should be all kinds of awesome.)
Hmmm... I tag Rachel, Suzanne, and Isabel, because I know they like the Old 97's and thus, have awesome taste, and Talia, because she's awesome. And I re-tag Wandering Tex so that she can report back on the best of her findings. And I encourage the rest of you to leave five songs in the comments, because curious ears want to know.
