back to the real world

First day back after spending time in Vegas with Mom and Dad. I really enjoyed it...it was the first time I've been on a vacation with my parents as a grown-up, and it was a lot of fun. Gambling, slot machines, showing off Vegas, laughing and shaking our heads at what some women will wear, drinking margaritas and strawberry daiquiris, getting into that "Vegas zone" where the hours blur, bills become Monopoly money, and you eat like you just normally wouldn't. Like I said: fun.

As birthday presents to myself go, this was one of my favorites.

more stop motion video games

This is amazing:

candles

If it weren't for Lisa, MyFriendJen, my insurance agent, and the folks at KFOG, this would be one of the most depressing birthdays I've had. Luckily, I'm heading out tomorrow to meet my folks in Vegas...that will help.

Until then, I'll just sit here in the corner, with my cupcake and candle, flicking the lighter on and off and on and off...

happy birthday to me... [flick] ...happy birthday to me... [flick flick] ...happy birthday, dear stacey... [flick] ...happy birthday to me... [flick]

weird al rocks

He's a classy guy...check out how he's handled his parody of James Blunt's "You're Beautiful", so as not to step on record label toes. NPR article here...be sure to follow the linky goodness to hear the song.

And points to James Blunt for saying 'you betcha' to Weird Al...

know what I had for dinner?

Half a slice of chocolate cake.

Because I can.

uh oh

I've got that little sparkly spot in my vision that presages a migraine. I call them my "Vegas" migraines, because they start with a little sparkly dot in my vision that grows into a big sparkly area, blocking about 1/3 of my visual field. Then about 20-30 minutes after full sparkliness, I get hit with the pain.

At least I get a forewarning [she says, trying to find the silver lining]...

another song that needs to go away

KT Tunstall - "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree"

Overexposure is *killing* these songs.
