and i’ve been knockin’ most all the day

i’m in the mood to be doted on today. sadly, there’s nobody to do the doting deed. so i’m just listening to elton john and trying to write press releases and hoping there’s a new dawson’s creek on tonight.

listening to elton john always makes me think of the scene in high fidelity where rob is talking about penny hardwick and her top five recording artists were carly simon, carole king, james taylor, cat stevens and elton john.

i’ve seen high fidelity roughly 394 times, i remember all sorts of things from it. it’s one of a handful of movies i can actually quote.

“only people of a certain disposition are sure they’re going to be alone for the rest of their lives at age 26, and we were of that disposition.”

i can also quote almost famous, heathers, the breakfast club, and beautiful girls. i think that might be about it.

My favorite movie quote of all time -

“It’s one thing to want someone out of your life, but it’s another thing to serve them a wake-up cup full of liquid Draino.”

I love that movie.

The verb “doted” reminds me way to much of Dodie, the step-daughter on My Three Sons. I despised that actress, the role, and the very thought that they could introduce a new character like that just to jazz up a show (yet I wasn’t concerned about the two Darrins on Bewitched). I was to be insulted with this ploy many more times in my television watching…

Later I found out that the actress, Dawn Lyn, is in real life sister to 70’s icon Leif Garrett. Eerie…

Things I Want to Tell You

Interview #2 at place I would enjoy working at went really well. I'm pretty pumped. [+]

Can I get an AMEN! This woman responds to the Jezebel Hullabaloo the way I wish I could have, had I not been blacking out with the rage. I agree that drinking a lot and having a lot of sex with different men is not feminism. It might be your lifestyle choice and a lot of fun -- go you, but it has nothing at all to do with being a feminist. I think once I simmer down a bit, I will chalk up the whole Hullabaloo to a few drunk 20something girls being stupid and naive, because, that's what 20something girls do. We've all done it, and not to get all sage woman of the earth, but something changes for women when they turn 30. I don't know what it is, I cannot define it, but other woman will agree 30 is a magical age where suddenly you seem more yourself, you think before you speak, you look back at your 20something self and realize what an idiot you were, but you still love that girl. I'm just hoping these Jezebel-girls will be so kind to their 20something selves when they look back at how absolutely foolish they were. {via fimoculous, whose comments are all men discussing the issue which makes me a little sad}. [+]

I had avoided the whole Jezebel hullabaloo until this morning when I was reading Mediation's thoughts on the nonsense. I followed his links to the Metafilter discussion and it was after watching the video there that I blacked out from sheer rage. I'm so angry I can't even write anything coherent. [+]

I just applied for a for reals job for the first time since 2000 (three fors in one sentence, go me). I feel a little like I'm going to barf. I forgot how nerve-wracking it is to want something like this. [+]

"Never mind that while he was on my ass about being in lust with a celebrity who lives in France and has two children with a French model, Greg was in love with a girl from, you know, like, down the street." Peabo cracks me up. [+]

I am celebrating my independence by sitting around in my pajamas until noon. [+]
