I'm a secret fan of death metal (even though I don't own any albums, although some would argue that Trans-Siberian Orchestra is pretty close), but I admit to being a bit disappointed when the Avett's went all electric and death metal-y for the finale tonight.  

Sigh

I need a change. It's sad when "Ugly Betty" makes you realize it's time for something new. I'm just not sure how to make the new happen at the moment. But total cool points for Tom Petty's "American Girl."

Today's Walk Is Brought to You by the Letter P

Pee, poop, pear and pinecone

My "friend" was back this morning. I think, but I'm not sure. I thought the van was brown with brown stripes but the van that drove past me (3 times!) this morning was blue with blue stripes. Other than that, it was the same shape, style, etc...So the behavior's the same, but I really thought it was a brown van. And I didn't get a good look at the man the times I've seen him before, but I had the feeling the guy was more middle age. This guy was younger. 

So are there two weirdos driving around my neighborhood in the same type, but different color, van or is my memory just that unreliable? This time I got the license plate, but now I don't know what to do with it. What if this guy was just lost in the neighborhood or something?  

Life is good.

I was in Target and this DVD stopped me in my tracks. I don't remember much about this movie except that when I first saw it, I thought it was the saddest thing I'd ever seen. Does the unicorn run into the ocean and drown or was that my imagination? If I've forgotten, do I even want to know?

I'll drink to that!

Are fanny packs ever acceptable?

Normally, I'd say no, but after this morning's unsettling events, I think a fanny pack might be the only thing big enough to carry all the things I now realize I have to carry when I walk the dog.   Keys, cell phone, pepper spray, doggie sacks - there are just not enough hands. 

Dontcha know?

RNC notwithstanding, I really want to visit St. Paul. I've heard it's a great city, but I guess I've missed the window for this year. It's the time of year to start heading south, not north.
