Serendipity finds my inbox

This is what my gmail inbox looks like right now. It cracks me up because Peabo was named after Peabo Bryson. It is only now that I realize the nickname is kind of erroneous, as she should probably be called James Ingram, but that’s not as good of a nickname.

Peabo got her name while brainstorming duets I could sing with that redheaded guy from one of our writing classes. While I was all about Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers or Stevie Nicks and Don Henley, ol’ Peabo busts out with, well, this:

I think we came to the conclusion that it was Linda Rondstadt and Peabo Bryson. We were wrong.

I STAND BY MY CHOICE!!
And I love my nickname. I’m so glad it’s not ‘James Ingram.’ Doesn’t have that special ring to it.

Now my inbox says Peabo Peabo Bryson.

I think we should have done Endless Love by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie.

Peabo Bryson did have an entry in the animated movie theme song set of the 90, he and Celine Dion did the theme to “Beauty and The Beast.”

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. [+]
