MP3: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - "Do You Love Me?"
I don't really sleep anymore. I used to fall asleep as soon as I laid my head on my pillow, but not so much anymore. For some reason, lately, when I go to bed, I don't fall asleep, and instead I mentally trace the footprint around the house I grew up in until I have to get out of bed and go for a walk or something. I haven't been in that house in over thirteen years, but I go over every inch of it in my head. Like, "this was the coat closet, this is the spot where we kept the trashbags," etc. It's totally bizarre, and it's such a dumb thing to torture myself with.
MP3: RZA - "We Pop"
It's very much to the point that I wish I could be like Dae-su Oh and convienently forget about everything I don't want to remember, just so I can get some sleep.
I'm not so much into memories anyway, so I wouldn't miss anything. I'm much more interested in the present, which is probably one of my positive personality traits, so I'm just goint to go with it..
MP3: Nina Simone - "Rich Girl"
^^Yes, that is Nina Simone doing a Hall & Oates cover.
MP3: Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf - "Methods"
In a few minutes, I'm going to go find frozen yogurt and make faces at the homeless asian dude down the street who hates me, so I'm going to keep this brief. I have nothing to tell you, really, so it's like, whatev.
MP3: Duffy - "Mercy"
Regarding that thing you helped me with last month: thanks to your excellent clicking skills, I got all the bonuses for last month. I owe all of you hella ponies. Seriously, thank you so much. I received my bonus check a few days ago, and it was kind of like this:
Except I don't get paid in gold coins. Unfortunately. Anyhoo, please allow me to buy you a drink next time I see you, because all that clicking must have made you very thirsty.
MP3: KRS-One - "Sound of Da Police"
Do you know a graphic designer I can hire? I'm not friends with creative people (just on principle), so I'm kind of at a loss, and I need to hire someone to design a new banner for the Warship. I took down the old one last year, and never replaced it. So if you know anyone, hit me up, please. I will pay them in gold coins, btw.
MP3: Genevieve Waite - "Biting My Nails"
I for real stopped reading my PMs on SG a few months ago (on principle), so email me if you need something. I have no idea what in the world you would need from me--transplants, Britney Spears' home address, whatev--but just in case you need my limited services for something, email. I get some strange PMs up in this piece, and I just don't want to read them anymore. So I don't. So yeah.
MP3: Martha Wainwright - "Bloody Motherfucking Asshole"
On a similar note, I'm starting to feel weird around here. Like, I feel like I'm up for public consumption (even though I may not actually be), and I hate that feeling, so I think I'm going to start making my journals friends only. It just feels weird sharing shit about my life with people I, a) don't like, or b) don't even know. I'm being paranoid and weird, but whatev. And I mean really, if we learned anything this month, it's that there's a lot of strange fucking people around here who are out to steal your identity. Well, maybe not my identity, but perhaps my glasses, if I actually wore glasses. Just... fucking weirdos.
You know?
MP3: Eartha Kitt - "I Want to be Evil"
Point being, if we've been friends for a while, but you're not actually on my friends list, I'll probably request you this week, if that's ok with you. I have no idea who I'm speaking to, but I know there are people around (like from CW and shit) who I'm friends with, but have never requested. So yeah, I'm totally going to get on that.

I don't have anything important to say, I just got tired of looking at my old entry. However, this does give me an excuse to tell you about an email I just sent:
I just really hate that all this ________ shit is taking away from the fact that ________ claimed she got ________ by a ________. This should be a banner day for the RoD.
And I mean that.
I don't think I'm allowed to tell what was in the blanks, but you're free to insert whatever you'd like.
MP3: Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings - "You're Gonna Get It"
MP3: The Black Lips - 'Veni Vidi Vici"
I've saved this newspaper clipping since 1999, despite the fact that I never really thought astrology was accurate, and also, I'm not a nostalgic kind of person who would save random bits of paper.
I have no idea how I managed to keep that clipping. It fell out of a book while we were moving in 2003 (The Catcher in the Rye, how very profound and cheesy), so I put it back in the book, and eventually put the book on a shelve. Mr. Alyk found it again by accident in 2006, and pointed out that everything on that clipping was correct, even down to the months and years.
I'm down to the last year now, and every thing played out exactly how the clipping predicted it would, so I hope the world of astrology will accept my deepest apologies for ever doubting it's authenticity.
The holidays were horrible. Not in a car crash/grandma died kind of way, but just difficult and a bit stressful. No big deal, but it seems it has made me less likely to tolerate internet bullshit over the past few days, which is unfortunate, because tolerating internet bullshit is part of my job in some facets, I guess.
MP3: The Pogues - "Summer In Siam"
Lasagna and Stroganoff were neutered on Christmas Eve, so pour one out for their missing balls.
They don't even have the energy (or testosterone) to fight. Very unfortunate.
MP3: Erykah Badu - "Tyrone"
I'm busy making cupcakes and feeding ham to cats and taking naps with Mr. Alyk and indulging in 4am gossip and enjoying the misfortune of others...
... but I'll be around more soon. Or whatever. Who cares.
MP3: Feist - "Honey Honey"
If you've missed seeing Pointblank's newswire pieces, go check out his Best of 2007 list on Music Warship, and tell him how witty and smart he is.

MP3: Ghosthustlers - "Busy, Busy, Busy"
I don't really have anything new to say, I just got tired of looking at my last journal entry.
In the past month, I've been very busy... busy with work, busy with home, and busy being beat by all of you on Facebook Scrabulous. I don't know how you jerks managed to do it, but I'm 3-11. I'm considering hiring a private scrabble tutor.
MP3: Tricky - "Makes Me Wanna Die"
Ugh, November is such a dreadful month. I hate it. I had a semi-meltdown and ordered (and later canceled) this bassinet:
Well, actually, I ordered and canceled it three times. No, I'm not pregnant, but I wish I was. How often do you find Eames-inspired baby furniture? Never, right? That's why I ordered it. After I told Mr. Alyk what I had done, he looked at me like this:
Yes, I know it was a mentally-challenged idea for a childless couple to buy baby furniture for a baby that might never materialize, BUT I WANTED IT.
Idk, it's hard to explain, and it's not really appropriate fodder for a porn site, so you know, moving on...
MP3: The Cardigans - "No Sleep"
My sleeping schedule is totally fucked, and now I go to bed around 5am every night. I hate it, but I have been very unsuccessful with my efforts to switch it up.
MP3: The Velvet Underground - "Some Kind of Love"
December 7 will be me and Mr. Alyk's 6th wedding anniversary. Isn't that bananas? After 6 years, I still meet him at the door when he gets home from work, and we haven't spent a night a part since our first date.
MP3: Joy Division - "She's Lost Control"
As first time pet owners, we've kind become bananas over Lasagna and Stroganoff. They had a bit of a tiff last month, and Stroganoff tried to bite Lasagna's ear off. It was very gross, and involved me putting on rubber gloves to squeeze pus out of Lasagna's wound. Everyone's fine now, but it was very touch and go for a moment. Well, not for Lasagna, but for me. I emailed BlueValentine at 4am to ask "For real, is he going to die?" She was nice enough not to give the I Am Sam treatment, and calmly explained that no, a bite mark will not make a cat die. So I learned something new. Oh, also new! If we stack all the ottomans in the sitting room, the cats will climb on top on them. Cats like to climb stuff. How novel!
We take photos of them all day in an effort to catch them in unflattering poses. You know, for lulz.
Oh, also, they think it's fun to crawl inside sacks, and we litterally spend hours staring at them sitting in their sacks.
Isn't that great?
Oh, and Lasagna is feeling much better.
MP3: The Raveonettes - "Aly, Walk with Me"
It seems like there were other things I had to tell you, but I can't remember now.
Oh! I know what it was. Please go read Keith's best and worst list for Music Warship. The newswire's loss is quite clearly my gain.

MP3: Lily Allen - "Everything's Just Wonderful"
I haven't updated in forever because, well, everything's just wonderful. I think I work 23 hours out of the day, but really, life is really lovely, so I have no reason to feel bummed about having zero free time.
MP3: The Cure - "All Cats are Grey"
Well, I guess there is a little bad news: I'm totes a crazy cat lady. We adopted two cats (against Mr. Alyk's advice), and I'm kind of retarded for them. I've never really had a pet, so I throw insane amounts of money at them for things they don't need, such as cute igloo-shaped cat boxes:
No, I don't keep the cat box in the living room.
MP3: Mark Ronson - "You're All I Need to Get By"
But don't worry: despite the cat snafu, Mr. Alyk is still retarded for me, and is now slightly retarded for the cats, soooooo... I win!
MP3: The Radio Dept - "The Worst Taste in Music"
Have you been to my new website? Warship Media is expanding daily and recently added Music Warship, which I'm insanely proud of. We didn't hire a designer or tech person this time, so we did all the work ourselves and in my opinion, it turned out perfectly.
Anton, Margot_Dent and my blogging BFF Wendy Wayrad our my co-editors, and they do such an amazing job, it almost brings me to tears. They're so talented and enthusiastic, I don't know how I ended up so blessed with such amazing friends.
We also have kick ass dedicated readers like Rubbersoul, Mamet, Lollercoaster, Cocoabutter, and KikiBH who make me smile everyday with their comments.
MP3: Neil Diamond - "Sweet Caroline"
Don't hate, bbs, congratulate! Red Sox are going to the World Series!
MP3: El Perro Del Mar - "Party"
I had some dear friends over for dinner at my place last night: BlueValentine came all the way from Austin to chill with myself, Smuffy, JudyPatricia, and Decedent. We ate stuff and made fun of stuff and stared at my new cats, including Stroganoff. Decedent taught me a new kitty term...
MP3: Michael Mills - "Meatloaf"
According to Decedent, this is called Meatloafing:
That's Stroganoff. Isn't he fabulous?
MP3: New York Dolls - "Lookin' for a Kiss"
So anyhoo, if I haven't spoken to you lately, I'm wicked busy, but I still love you, l-u-v.
