I Love Rock 'N Roll
We are the Elvis Fish. Check our bedroom eyes and pompadours!
No time to blog. Mr. Frick and the Biscuit left five minutes ago, and Girls Only Weekend II is officially underway. Joan Jett on the stereo*, fridge stocked with Izzie Clementine, mozzarella balls, and farm tomatoes, good also-knocked-up-with-baby -two girlfriend on the way, the first season of "Angel" waiting on top of the tube, and two monster projects on deck- Fricklet's baby blanket and Biscuit's baby book. It's a pressure cooker up in here, albeit with good snacks.
I was remarkably easy to seam, once she quit her bitching.
My tail is a tale of errata. Blue Sky Alpacas calls it an "update." Seems they've been taking semantics lessons from our President.
Also, as this aerial view would prove, we are clearly not fish. But we don't expect ichthyology degrees from our pattern designers, now do we?
(While writing this post, the mix on the stereo, a leftover from when I was official DJ at my MFA program's dance party, has sailed through: 1. Todd Rundgren, 2. J. Giles Band, and 3. The Ramones, which has made me think of the following:
1. Crap, I should also spend some of this weekend working on sub notes for my maternity leave. ("Bang on the Drum All Day")
2. Crap, don't forget to send them over here to Rich's recap of Rock of Love, which I will never watch but instead read every recap Rich writes. ("Centerfold")
3. Crap, maybe I should also work on the Birth Plan. ("I Wanna Be Sedated")
Just kidding on that last one. My plan is to have a baby. Period. Now I'm going to turn off the music, because nothing else is fitting on this list of to-do's. See you on the flip!
Have fun. Baby book? Mine have baby boxes. (Card with tiny footprints? Birth announcement? It's in there somewhere, sweetie.)

In college, a friend & I decided to walk into a very seamy adult bookstore. We were "stalked" by a lot of the customers. This is how I felt watching Rock of Love. Never went back to the bookstore, oh but I'm going back to Bret's house!
With Gus, I loved reading people birth plan's. So long, detailed & beautiful. Mine, drugs & push.

Cute Elvis fish! The pomps are so the best.
And I now learn that I am not the only one around here totally into Rich's hysterical recaps. Love him! I hate to admit, however, I love Rock of Love, too. What can I say? It's pure comedy.

good job seaming there.
"when I was official DJ at my MFA program's dance party" -- quote of the weekend (my weekend. i hope yours has more excellent quotes to come.).

Dating myself here (rather, my pregnancy) but what the hell is a birth plan? Is that something you have to do after you get pregnant?
The "Rock of Love" recap may have been funnier than the show. It was like watching a slow train wreck with people shouting, "No, really, I think the train can jump over that huge tree trunk. I'll be fine." Million dollar question, did you catch "Scott Baio"?

Hi--I've been lurking for quite some time now but your post on Harry Potter really made me want to comment. While I may actually read Harry Potter one day (I have not read any and only saw the first movie), the hoopla surrounding these books really gets to me. I took a look at the article you linked to and I think it's something everybody should read regardless of whether you are a HP fan or not. I knew that people don't read as much as they used to but some of the statistics shocked and saddened me. Just as an interesting side note...to prove his point...as I've scanned blogs the past couple weeks I've noticed a trend...folks who rarely if ever mention books in posts have been talking about HP non stop recently. It's frustrating! Anyway--really enjoying your blog!

Very cute fish!
The best piece of advice I recieved regarding the birth plan - when I was in nursing school, the instructor told us - "There's nothing natural about being in pain - tell your mommies to take the drugs!" I concur.

Love those Elvis airplane-y fish. They are very cute! Ahh the softening of the English language continues...
Your 3rd song/plan is hilarious!

First of all, before I forget: thanks for the response about the childs placket sweater thingamabob. I ended up ripping it out in frustration though. But I really appreciate the reply!
Secondly, thanks for the link to the Rock of Love recap. Oh man...I'm with you. I won't watch it, but I must read those. Hi-larious.
