That’s me (my hair is so shiny!)! Talking about my worst habit, which is procrastinating. I’ve got a crap load more, of course, but just settle for that. Currently, I’m avoiding picking out my fall semester classes, cleaning my bathroom and doing laundry because the dryer is on the fritz and I have to go the laundromat to dry. I meant to do all of these things on Monday. Yes, it’s Friday. I’ll get to it.
Eventually.
Last weekend Joey & I took the girls to see Toy Story 3: 3D at the IMAX theater. He and I loved it just as much if not more than the girls did. I swear, some scenes just ripped my heart from behind my breasts. I had no idea I was attached to those toys. The movie was amazing – really amazing. If you didn’t think so I really don’t think you and I can be friends. Did you see it? What’d you think? At the theater every woman I saw either was clutching or pushing a baby, or massively pregnant. My ovaries were aching by the end of the day. I want another baby!
My daughters are hugging right now. This may not seem like a big deal, but as much as they love each other and as well as they usually get along, this is incredibly rare. Rosario is very selective with who gets her physical affection and when. I’m the only person in existence that gets it without reserve – every one else is lucky to get a hug once in a while. Mama’s girl, yes.
The iOS4 update messed up my iPhone. It’s running incredibly slow, the apps keep crashing and because the update itself screwed up, it deleted all of my contacts and information. Bleargh. It doesn’t matter really, being as I’m getting the iPhone4 as soon as the white one is released, but it’s still irritating. Speaking of white iPhones and things that are irritating – it is such crap that the white model won’t be released for another 3-4 weeks. I’m impatient! But, also stubborn and will not settle for the black one.
Today’s the one year anniversary of Michael Jackon’s untimely death. I can’t believe it’s been that long. In remembrance, here’s my favorite song from him:

For just about The Bella’s entire life, I’ve been regulated to listening to nothing but The Beatles. They are her most favorite, and for the first four years of her life, no other musical groups existed. I have every. single. released. The Beatles track. ever. in my iTunes. About 10-15 GBs of ‘em. All for her, and her sister.
Over the past year or so she’s been teeter-tottering between Michael Jackson and The Beatles, with a bit of Queen, David Bowie and Lady Gaga thrown in for good measure. It’s been better, needless to say, because while I fucking love The Beatles OMG PLEASE CAN WE LISTEN TO SOMETHING ELSE is what goes through my head every time we get in the car.
Anyway, recently, she’s been expanding her musical tastes. She proclaimed a while ago that she didn’t like the kind of music where “people talk when they should be singing” (ie., rap), but then she heard It Takes Two by Rob Base & DJ E Z Rock and she was won over. I was relieved. Since then, she bounces around to all the hip hop she hears in the car, and I love it.
The other day, she asked me to put ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ on her iPod. Cool. I obliged. Any child that likes Joy Division is awesome, needless to say. She was singing ‘The Crystal Ship’ to herself while she was coloring last week. The Doors? Girl you’re blowing my mind with this shit. I have a habit of playing The Smiths when I’m in the bathtub, and she has a habit of refusing to let me get any peace, and demanding I put ‘This Charming Man’ on repeat and bouncing around, singing along. I can’t even kick her out because really, that’s just amazing.
Then yesterday, she asked me to put ‘Say Aah’ by Trey Songz on her iPod when we were on our way home. I was like, “okay, sure – glad to see you opening up to more than the classics”. When we got back, I was about to, but I decided to listen more to the lyrics because Trey Songz is a nasty (SEXY AS ALL HELL) dude. And, maybe I’m being paranoid, but am I wrong in thinking that this whole song is *really* about swallowing jizz, rather than liquor?
I’m not sure I want her singing this. It’s a great song, but it’s weird enough to hear her singing “Why Don’t We Do It in The Road” at the top of her lungs. I’m pretty sure I can’t handle this, even if it’s not about that, because in the back of my head, I think it might be.

This is probably my favorite song of all time. It’s best listened to half baked, but it’s good all the time. I like myself best when I’m in the mood that this song puts me in.

Why. the. hell. is only 1/2 of the song playing?! Bastages.
I love Jackie Wilson. I’m not exactly sure when I started listening to him, but I know I was young. I heard a snippet of him singing “(Your Love Is) Lifting Me Higher” on one of those Time-Life infomercials where they want you to buy the thousand CDs for a thousand dollars?
He died the year I was born and I always think of that for some reason when I listen to him. I guess I’m extremely morbid. Whatever. He’s the truth.
