The Educating Julie Pygmalia Project has begun courtesy of KC who made me a mix CD. That’s right. Another entry about KC and her Support of This Writer.
At KC’s request, I’ve carefully reviewed the mix CD-”Music to Make the Sun Shine” (with CD jewel box art above). First off, I love it and am certain I’ll listen to it for the rest of my life. It will join the other well-worn soldiers in my meager collection.
Here’s the playlist and my review. [The * indicates songs I'm currently listening to over and over]:
1. Nicotine and Gravy – Beck
I like this song. I always like Beck when I give him a try. I suspect he’s a genius. This tune doesn’t make me happy immediately, but I like knowing Beck, so there’s a bigger payoff.
*2. Dry the Rain – Beta Band
HAPPIEST. Wore this mother out. I even sought out some other Beta Band stuff on YouTube, without so much luck. I quickly abandoned the task.
3. Ground on Down – Ben Harper
This rocks. It reminds me of John Popper and Lenny Kravitz. Yeah, this is good stuff. Rah. Makes me feel good.
*4. Meanwhile Rick James… – Cake
HAPPIEST. YAY! Cake.
5. Paper Thin Walls – Modest Mouse
This is good. It reminds me of David Byrne plus Dave Matthews Band. It’s happy, but it doesn’t make my insides happy like Cake or Beta Band. But I like the sound and see that it has the potential to makes me happy. It’s on right now and I’m digging it. Plus, it has one of my favorite They Might Be Giants’ lyrics. “Laugh hard, it’s a long way to the bank.” Amen. I’m laughing a big belly laugh, boys.
*6. What Ever Happened? – The Strokes
This is Happy-but-Angry in a good way. I effing love it. It sounds like The Killers. Only better. I wanna be admired! And I don’t want to be reminded. I love the bridge in this. Then it breaks out. And I want to shout. You Don’t Miss Me, I Know! It’s my latest favorite on the disc. Don’t read into it. No one is letting me down. Although, I have been let down in my life and it’s fun to shout about it.
7. Death or Glory – The Clash
Like it. But The Clash makes me nervous. They don’t typically make me happy. But this works. It’s kind of simple though. Oh, I know, I’m going to catch flack for this.
8. In the Mouth of A Desert – Pavement
This reminds me of Lou Reed at the start with his talkie-flat tune. So, I think I’m going to like it. But then he starts whine-yelling and I have to quick skip it.
*9. Makin Time – Creation
And then I’m rewarded for skipping the last one with this song. Did Wes Anderson use this in Rushmore? Well, whatever, Wes has good taste and so does KC!
10. Bohemian Like You – The Dandy Warhols
This is fun. Whoo. But a little repetitive.
11. Title and Registration – Death Cab for Cutie
This is too sad. I skip it. I’m not hip to the Death Cab.
12. Middle of Nowhere – Hot Hot Heat
This feels very 80s-John Hughes-fun. It’s good. I’m sort-of indifferent to it, though.
13. Dig for Fire – the Pixies
Yay. The Pixies. Everyone tells me I’d like them, but no one shows me! I do like them. Sweet. Good stuff. I think they have great potential to be a favorite band. More, please.
*14. Rally – Phoenix
Shit, yeah. Good vibes. Happy song. Love it. I’m wearing this one out. Happy tune, angsty lyrics. That’s my favorite combo. Plus, he thinks I’m pretty. This is my second new favorite.
15. Strangers – Portishead
LOVE THIS SONG. It took some time. I hung in there with it because she’s got a sexy voice. This song reminds me of a dirty-sexy song I put on a mix tape I gave to a guy I loved. Paula Cole, Feelin Love. Hot song.
16. 3rd Planet – Modest Mouse
Good. Like it. The jury’s still out on Modest Mouse. I don’t like the break-out riff. It gets on my nerves, that dom guitar part. And then the repetition grates. And yet, I don’t hate it.
17. Kissing the Lipless – The Shins
Yeah, I dig this. The Shins are in. Sometimes this one makes me feel a little sad. It’s the yelling. But, I still like it.
*18. Ball and Biscuit – The White Stripes
HELL YEAH! I listened to this over and over last night. Good mojo.
“Life is short and if you’re looking for extension, with your time, you had best do well, cause there’s good deeds and there is good intention. They’re as far apart as heaven and hell.” -Ben Harper, Ground on Down
Thanks, KC. Good deed, for sure.
Gary said,
March 17, 2007 at 4:37 pm
Good songs there. KC is brave though. Remind me not to make you a mix CD.
kc said,
March 17, 2007 at 4:44 pm
HAHA! HELL YEAH I’M BRAVE!
although, i must admit, when i asked for a review I had something a little more private in mind…
its all good though.
I’m glad you like it.
Heather said,
March 17, 2007 at 7:19 pm
Ball and Biscuit’s got it going ON. So so love that song.
julieluongo said,
March 17, 2007 at 7:48 pm
KC, you love it when I blog about you.
Reminder: Gary, don’t make me a mix CD. Van Halen scares me.
kc said,
March 17, 2007 at 7:57 pm
its true. i do. otherwise I guess i wouldnt pay for it now would I?!
=)
(insert eyebrows)
Gary said,
March 17, 2007 at 8:22 pm
I would never put Van Halen on a mix CD, unless it was for someone who I thought might like Van Halen. Also Van Halen is OLD. The stuff I like from them is from 30 years ago, so most people who would like that sort of thing already know it (unless they’re like 14 years old now and haven’t heard it yet by some miracle). Not that old is bad, but it’s pretty well known. I wouldn’t put the Beatles on a mix CD either because most people know the Beatles backwards and forwards.
I just would be afraid to make you a mix CD because I read your other post and I wouldn’t want to hurt you by mistake
julieluongo said,
March 17, 2007 at 8:24 pm
I am a delicate flower.
Gary said,
March 17, 2007 at 8:25 pm
Ok now I have to make the mix CD that I WOULD make, and then never give it to you, just so I can see how awesome it is.
julieluongo said,
March 17, 2007 at 8:27 pm
Really? You should probably give it to me. I mean, this is a Pygmalian project. It’s not supposed to be easy for me. I’ll write an entry about it. It’ll be good fun.
Gary said,
March 17, 2007 at 8:30 pm
I don’t know. I’m even more delicate than you are.
julieluongo said,
March 17, 2007 at 8:38 pm
Oh, I can be very diplomatic.
michael said,
March 17, 2007 at 8:54 pm
D’oh! I was going to put ‘Dry the Rain’ on my educating Julie CD. One of my all time favorites. Ah well. I guess I’ll have to educate in other ways.
Gary said,
March 17, 2007 at 9:04 pm
One thing I noticed about KC’s mix: not really any female artists (with the exception of the portishead singer and Kim Deal of the Pixies – oh and Meg White).
Dooner said,
March 17, 2007 at 11:46 pm
I gotta say KC’s mix is pretty damn good! I think I’d like to take a crack at this Pygmalian project as well!!
Luongo…you should check out this documentary about the Dandy Warhols and a band called the Brian Jonestown Massacre. It’s called “Dig!” and wow is it fucked up.
Oh…and in regards to your last email…all good!
julieluongo said,
March 17, 2007 at 11:50 pm
Doon!!! I swear, I tell stories all over this blog about you…I should have guessed that you’d emerge on the entry about music. Damn, boy.
Jenn said,
March 18, 2007 at 12:14 am
No, *I* am the delicate flower!!! Damn it.
Man, I am very old and tragically unhip. I have a vague, fleeting awareness of most of these bands, with the exception of the White Stripes – I recognized that name. Mostly from the celebrity gossip pages – one of them was hooked up with some celebrity or whatever. Anyway….
You people scare me a little. I loved both the book and movie versions of High Fidelity, but I feel a whole lot like the guy who went into the store to buy the record for his daughter and ended up getting a new one ripped. I always think I’m not too shabby with the music, but you people intimidate me. And I was a radio DJ in college, playing U2 before U2 was cool.
I think my musical development ended in 1995 or so, with few exceptions like Dave Matthews and…. ummmmm…. ummmm… yeah, I can’t think of any new bands I’ve taken on since the early 90s. Okay, maybe the Killers. Mostly because my husband hates the song, “All These Things That I have Done” and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. The “soul / soldier” part annoys him.
Sadly, if I made a mix tape for you, it would consist of a lot of Tom Petty (a lot), U2, some Dave Matthews, maybe some Chili Peppers, and that’s about it. But just for fun, I will go and pick my favorite 10 songs from my iTunes for you. Feel free to ridicule me.
And why aren’t you people out drinking? MY GOD it’s St. Patrick’s day, my favorite holiday (right after Christmas).
Jenn said,
March 18, 2007 at 12:28 am
Okay, without thinking too much about it, and going straight for the songs I play over and over again, here’s my list
1. Rebels – Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
This is my most favorite song ever. Ever.
2. Kings Highway (Acoustic) – TP
It’s a B side. Loved it so much I talked my husband into having it for our first dance
3. All These Things That I have Done – The Killers
This song just speaks to me.
4. God, Part II – U2
5. Baby I’m a Star – Prince
Shut it.
6. Mother’s Little Helper – Rolling Stones
Cause it is a drag getting old.
7. I Drove All Night – Roy Orbison
I love his voice. Love it
8. Miracle Drug – U2
It was either this or Yahweh, from How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. I can listen to that CD over and over again. And I have
9. I-76 – G. Love and Special Sauce
I’d like to thank my husband and BIL for introducing me to G. Love
10. Porch – Pearl Jam
Actually,with the exception of Jeremy which was killed by commercial radio (and one of the major reasons I no longer listen to it if I can help it), this whole album (Ten) freaking rocks and would be in my list of 5 CDs that you’d take to a deserted island.
Wow, I surprised myself. No DMB, no Chili Peppers, no Metallica. But like I said, I went for the very first ones I can think of off the top of my head.
Oh, and as for the Beatles on a mix cd, I made 2 CDs of all Beatles music for my niece’s first birthday. Yep, making CDs for a baby. But her parents are super religious and I had to get something in there before they innudated her with Christian rock crap. I figured the Beatles were a safe, non-objectionable choice and I was right. She’s 4 1/2 now and she listens to those CDs every single day. Her parents don’t even travel without them because they’re part of her routine. Score 1 for Aunt Jenn and her devil music!
Jenn said,
March 18, 2007 at 12:31 am
Okay, and I know who The Strokes and The Clash are. In fact, we ate at a restaurant in Alexandria, VA, not too long ago called Eamon’s. It was a fish and chips / Irish Pub type place and they played The Clash the entire time we were there.
kc said,
March 18, 2007 at 2:35 am
ok, a few things:
Gary: stop openingly flirting.
AND: youre right, there arent a lot of female vocalists because i dont get into a lot of female vocialists. i know i know, im a lesbian so what the fuck, right? well be that as it may, i like what i like, and i choose to share what i choose. and if you want to call kim deal out, lets not forget about the Breeders shall we?!
The Strokes fucking rock. hipster rock as they may be, they fucking rock. and to you that dont know them, you should. theyre fucking awesome. all three records. and not a lot of bands can you say that about.
and to whomever it was that mentioned High Fidelity: high fucking five… that is one of my favorite movies, and his whole bit about mix tapes: amen brother, amen.
rah!!!
kc said,
March 18, 2007 at 2:55 am
apparently im aunry when im drunk… sorry about that folks.
rock on.
Gary said,
March 18, 2007 at 9:02 am
Dave Matthews is evil and must be stopped.
Jenn said,
March 18, 2007 at 11:31 am
I realized that I don’t like all that many female vocalists either. But for whatever other issues she has, Courtney Love can sing.
I figured High Fidelity would rate around here. It’s music AND John Cusack. What more can you ask for? Although the book was much better.
And KC, on your recommendation, I’ve added all three Strokes discs to my library list. My husband will thank you for restorning his manhood and giving him back his punk rock.
Jenn said,
March 18, 2007 at 11:31 am
And Dave Matthews is not evil.
julieluongo said,
March 18, 2007 at 12:49 pm
Middle of Nowhere just flipped for me today. I’m not longer indifferent. Yeah, I really like it. I’m going to listen to it again.
julieluongo said,
March 18, 2007 at 2:55 pm
Bohemian Like You is also becoming a favorite today.
kc said,
March 18, 2007 at 3:53 pm
nice.
Gary said,
March 18, 2007 at 3:55 pm
Dave Matthews poos on people and doesn’t even care!
Prince rules the earth.
Click here all you Beatle fans!
julieluongo said,
March 18, 2007 at 4:47 pm
All that guy needs is love.
julieluongo said,
March 18, 2007 at 4:51 pm
And Dave Matthews does care that his poo touch the peons. He donated $100,000 to restore the poo river, which is all those money grubbing environmentalists care about. Clean and green, that’s their thing.
Gary said,
March 18, 2007 at 7:11 pm
I believe that’s a young(er) Jimmy Swaggart.

Jenn….I continue to be amazed at how alike we are in both personality, beauty and musical taste. perfect perfect…especially the Roy and U2 , i have that cd in right now…it is my go-to cd.
spanky said,
March 19, 2007 at 6:49 am
Poo river. hahahahahahhaha
spanky said,
March 19, 2007 at 6:52 am
well, back in my long hippie skirt wearing days, i listened to the indigo girls. then took a good hard look at my self in those outfits and promptly stopped wearing them. and listening to the girls too. saw them in concert twice.
recently rediscovered my like for them. and say what you will…those girls can sing. and play. i like em.
Jenn said,
March 19, 2007 at 8:37 am
I love the Wilburys’ CDs too – Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and Tom Petty all together. YAY!
I didn’t do the long hippie skirt days so much as I did the angsty teen thing. I didn’t go all dressed in black and moody, but I did listen to a whole lot of the Cure and the Smiths in high school. Does that count?
KC said,
March 19, 2007 at 8:40 am
i shy away from the idigo girls because of the immediate association with lesbians. but there was a time…
Dave Mathews isnt evil, he just sucks.
So it looks as if I started another new trend… thats how I roll.
KC said,
March 19, 2007 at 8:42 am
the smiths are one of the greatest bands of all time.
Jenn said,
March 19, 2007 at 8:43 am
KC, what about artists like kd lang and Melissa Etheridge? Are the indigo girls actually lesbians, or are they just associated with lesbians?
spanky said,
March 19, 2007 at 8:50 am
I am quite certian they are lesbians. KD land and our boy roy did a duet and it was fab…course im thinking roy was dead so im not sure how that duet actually went down..maybe have been some sort of studio magie..to the song crying
spanky said,
March 19, 2007 at 8:50 am
just so you know “studio magie” is how famous and cool people refer to studio magic. just so you know
Jenn said,
March 19, 2007 at 8:52 am
Bono did a duet with Frank Sinatra on “I’ve Got You under my skin”, courtesy of studio magie. It’s awesome.
KC said,
March 19, 2007 at 9:37 am
yes, they are lesbians. they are not a couple, in fact they’re not even firneds anymore, but they still make music together.
K.D. Lang and Melissa Etheridge as well.
The only lesbian music that i know of who isn’t a lesbian is Sarah Mclaughlin. I’m sure there’s more, but like I said, I tend to shy away from lesbian music in general. drives my girlfriends crazy.
julieluongo said,
March 19, 2007 at 9:40 am
The one Indigo girl dated Melissa Etheridge and broke her heart. Then Melissa wrote the song “Come to my Window” that has a riff from “Closer to Fine” in it.
Jenn said,
March 19, 2007 at 9:45 am
Here’s a question. Are there artists / bands that do what is considered homosexual / gay music? Other than Broadway show tunes.
KC said,
March 19, 2007 at 10:24 am
Julie, where did you get that information?
I have never heard that before. I know Melissa Ethridge stole Lou Diamond Philliphs’ wife, who later left her for another man after having a child with Melissa.
As for Jenn’s question, yes, there are. lots.
Cordelia said,
March 19, 2007 at 11:15 am
THAT’S who wrote Dry The Rain. Love that song, never bothered to look up the band.
Try Death Cab’s The Sound of Settling. It’s not happy, but it sounds happy.
Gary said,
March 19, 2007 at 11:21 am
Poor Lou Diamond. His career has never been the same. I’m still waiting for La Bamba 2
julieluongo said,
March 19, 2007 at 11:27 am
KC, that celebrity gossip came from the same place all my celebrity gossip comes from…my head.
KC said,
March 19, 2007 at 11:35 am
hahaha. nice. I have subscription to US Weekly. thats where i get mine from.
I forgot the BIGGEST lesbian that isnt a lesbian: Ani Difranco.
shes bi.
Gary said,
March 19, 2007 at 12:30 pm
Same with Carrie and Corin of Sleater-Kinney. They dated each other briefly (and we got one of the best break-up songs ever from it – One More Hour) – but now Corin is married and has a 5 year old son. Everyone thought Carrie was a lesbian but it turns out she’s been known to date guys as well. Oh and they rock(ed) harder and better than just about anyone of any gender or sexual orientation.
Heather said,
March 19, 2007 at 1:12 pm
Don’t forget, Carrie’s got a degree in Sociolinguistics. That just means she’s easy.
KC said,
March 19, 2007 at 1:34 pm
Q: what do you call a brilliant lesbian translator?
A: A cunning-linguist
michael said,
March 19, 2007 at 1:40 pm
Why does it have to be a lesbian? I myself am a brilliant cunning linguist, ask anyone whose lingua I’ve ever cunned.
julieluongo said,
March 19, 2007 at 1:45 pm
Shall we ask the array of women in the Niagara Falls area?
KC said,
March 19, 2007 at 1:52 pm
because its my joke.
and I am a lesbian.
and im sure i can cunn liguas better then you.
haha.
=)
michael said,
March 19, 2007 at 1:58 pm
Oh it’s on! Cunning lingua competetion! … to clarify, are we taliking about clever wordplay or licking pussy? Either way, I’m in.
I’ve never been to the Niagra Falls. Well, that’s not true. I was there once with my parents when I was like 10. So, obviously I left no marks there. Oh wait… now I get your joke. Hardy har har.
Heather said,
March 19, 2007 at 2:07 pm
Make sure when you film it, there’s just the one lightbulb.
Gary said,
March 19, 2007 at 2:16 pm
new name for this blog: Lesbian Chat with Julie!
oh I made 2 mix CD’s and they’re awesome – but I’m just going to play them as mixes on my radio station.
KC said,
March 19, 2007 at 2:37 pm
GEEZ GARY, do homosexual topics make you uncomfortable? Didnt you have a problem with the lebian soft-core discussion as well? or was that someone else?…
No Michael, sorry to dissapoint you, there will be no contest. unfortunetly, (for them), I would not want to sleep with women that would sleep with you.
hahahaha. that sounded worse then it should have… I meant I dont typically sleep with women that sleep with men.
OH NO! ITS ANOTHER LESBIAN DISCUSSION! QUICK, SOMEONE CHANGE THE SUBJECT!!!!
julieluongo said,
March 19, 2007 at 2:43 pm
To be accurate, the talk was of linguistic skills in general.
Jenn said,
March 19, 2007 at 2:50 pm
Damn it – where is the Niagara Falls joke from? It’s on the very edge of my brain and I can’t remember. Damn it.
Heather said,
March 19, 2007 at 2:56 pm
Breakfast Club.
julieluongo said,
March 19, 2007 at 2:56 pm
Breakfast Club:
And since, I can’t quote anything accurately, this is an approximation. Bender says something like:
“In addition to the number of girls in the Niagara Falls area, Brian said you and he are currently riding the hobby horse.”
Heather said,
March 19, 2007 at 3:02 pm
Also, I’m pretty sure Gary really has no problem with any conversation turning to lesbians.
michael said,
March 19, 2007 at 3:06 pm
Niagra falls is also where all the high school virgins of the world’s girlfriends are met. It is a joke as old as high school itself. Just because the muffinmunch club used it doesn’t mean they invented it.

Thanks, Matt. It’s never too soon to make the cunning linguist joke again.
Jenn said,
March 19, 2007 at 4:17 pm
Thank you! Now I know where I remembered it from – that movie was on the other day, and it happened to be that scene.
Heather said,
March 19, 2007 at 4:27 pm
We should start Cunning Linguist Day. Hmmm…
Heather said,
March 19, 2007 at 4:28 pm
Wait? Did I say “Day”?
Gary said,
March 19, 2007 at 4:28 pm
I love lesbians. They just don’t love me.
I’m sorry KC. I guess my joke wasn’t as funny as your cunning linguist joke.
btw thank you Heather. We can also talk about sweaty man on man butt sex if anyone wants to.
Saranne Fosselman Miller said,
March 19, 2007 at 6:37 pm
KC, I enjoy lesbian talk. It separates the men from the boys…..er…I mean, the boys from the girls…..no….I meant, the women from the men…..no, no..that’s not right either. Oh, how I wish I were a cunning linguist like Michael, proud member of the muff munchers club.
kc said,
March 19, 2007 at 6:48 pm
hey hey hey, the cunning linguist club is not for men. Saranne, you can be an honorary member. I have enough toasters to go around… speaking of, I’ll give five dollars to the first person that knows to what I am referring when I say “toaster”.
heres a hint: im not talking about breakfast, people.
Jenn said,
March 19, 2007 at 6:59 pm
Oh! Oh! Pick me! Pick me! I know!
It’s an inside joke for lesbians and gays about recruiting straight people into being gay.
Anonymous said,
March 19, 2007 at 7:45 pm
sort of.
close enough.
when you “covert” someone you get a toaster as a prize.
I was, at one time, called the conversion factor, Ok, once again, I called myself that and many agreed. ha.
I dont do a lot that anymore. its usually a dead end street.
KC said,
March 19, 2007 at 7:48 pm
once again with the anonymous shit. geez. sorry.
Saranne Fosselman Miller said,
March 19, 2007 at 8:01 pm
I’m not toaster worthy. Been there, done that. Julie told me years ago that it was okay to date girls. It just so happened that I married one with a penis.
KC said,
March 19, 2007 at 8:13 pm
hahaha.

Once again, we’re approaching 100

too much beaver talk. ok maybe not too much, but man. all i didnt know in lesbian speak. can I use this as a foreign language KC?
Gary said,
March 20, 2007 at 7:13 am
GEEZ SPANKY!! You gots a problem with beavers?! Woodland creatures in general? Can we talk about chipmunks? How’s yer groundhog? What’s up with S’burg and skunks? Pheeeewwww!!
KC said,
March 20, 2007 at 7:13 am
only if you’re willing to submit to an oral exam.
too far?
Heather said,
March 20, 2007 at 8:24 am
Oral sex brings all the comments to the yard. It’s like the Castle Anthrax in here…
“And after the spanking, the oral sex.”
“Yes! Yes! The oral sex!”
spanky said,
March 20, 2007 at 8:38 am
Bwahahahahah oral exam…well well KC arent we a cheeky monkey!! and gary…as everyone knows, groundhogs are very mean. skunks stink, and beavers a slick, he-man strong creatures of doom. kinda like chuck norris. dont mess with the beav.
on another note, heather have you been dropping acid this morning? You are unusally chirpy today.
spanky said,
March 20, 2007 at 8:40 am

Did you know beavers are back in the Bronx River in NYC after more than 200 years? They say it’s because the Bronx River is getting cleaner.

hahahahahahah Oh KC you are so wrong….and yet so right.

Did you know there really is, or rather was, a Beaver College in Glenside, PA? They changed the name to Arcadia University because too many high school computer networks were blocking students from searching for “Beaver College”.
KC said,
March 20, 2007 at 10:39 am
yes, i did know that. Well, I didnt know that had changed it. That sucks. There goes my fucking joke.
Damn.
spanky said,
March 20, 2007 at 10:39 am
also a beaver falls and beaver dam.
Jenn said,
March 20, 2007 at 10:53 am
I have a sweatshirt that says “Beaver College”. I stole it from my husband.
spanky said,
March 20, 2007 at 11:02 am
sweet.
spanky said,

i wish more men went to beaver college.

HAHAHAHAHA
if more men went to Beaver College, lesbians wouldnt have to market cornered. oh wait, yes they would. nevermind.
KC said,
March 20, 2007 at 11:47 am
I am the QUEEN of typos today. Must be all the oral sex talk. Sorry everyone.
Gary said,
March 20, 2007 at 11:53 am
more women should go to the University of South Carolina
KC said,
March 20, 2007 at 1:09 pm
gary, is that a euphemism?
spanky said,
March 20, 2007 at 1:27 pm
i didnt know what he meant either
Heather said,
March 20, 2007 at 1:36 pm
Yeah, mang. What do you mean?
Saranne Fosselman Miller said,
March 20, 2007 at 1:52 pm
My friend works at the former Beaver College, now Arcadia.
Yup.
That’s all I’ve got. Heather’s on acid, KC is getting/giving too much oral sex and my brain is fried from thinking of all those ic words because I have to be the best at everything. Don’t even try it. It’s a waste of your time.
KC, do you live in New Orleans? Are you a Katrina victim? JW.
spanky said,
March 20, 2007 at 1:55 pm
Funny that you should want to be the best, while i have spent my life trying to keep expectations of myself low so when I manage to keep a job for a year…i have amazed and wowed them all….i think my way is perhaps more cunning…oh there i go with the linguist comments again
KC said,
March 20, 2007 at 2:35 pm
I dont live there anymore. I wasnt a victim so much as my stuff was.
Heather said,
March 20, 2007 at 8:41 pm
Anyone educating Julie please include The Hold Steady. That is all.
Saranne Fosselman Miller said,
March 20, 2007 at 10:00 pm
Well, then, sorry about your stuff, KC.
And Spank. I just had an epiphany! (that spelling looks off to me.) You think I’m self-centered because really, I’m self-driven. You call me lazy becasue I am in a state of constant exhaustion due to my daily over-achievement status. You think I am mean, becasue I am cunning. And better. In general. At everything. Except spelling. I suck at that. And supervising adults. If I can’t grab you by the scruf of the neck and throttle you into doing as I please, then, yeah, I’m not so good at adult management.
Since Jenn is not here, I’d like to take this moment and note that I am entering comment number 111.
spanky said,
March 21, 2007 at 6:42 am
You are quite full of yourself. Full of POO that is.
KC said,
March 21, 2007 at 8:18 am
UT oh.
spanky said,
March 21, 2007 at 10:16 am
I meant sara was full of poo, not you KC..
Jenn said,
March 21, 2007 at 10:37 am
As long as you don’t dump your poo into a river, it’s all good.
Jenn said,
March 21, 2007 at 10:38 am
I like seeing all one name in the comment section. It’s neat to have “Jenn on this, Jenn on that.” It’s kind of like the whole blog is about me.
Jenn said,
March 21, 2007 at 10:39 am
One more to go and then it’s ALL ME!!!!
spanky said,
March 21, 2007 at 10:47 am
muwohahahhahah neverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Jenn said,
March 21, 2007 at 10:56 am
But it WAS all me for a while there.
spanky said,
March 21, 2007 at 10:59 am
Yeah, I admit….you were all there was to see….and read. I was jealous. how shameful of me.
KC said,
March 21, 2007 at 11:14 am
i think i need to point out this blog is about a CD I made.
for Julie.
spanky said,
March 21, 2007 at 11:21 am
this is true. it has made us all spotlight seeking leeches.
deep shame
Saranne Fosselman Miller said,
March 21, 2007 at 12:57 pm
I think you all need to visit About Julie Luongo. That’s me in the first paragraph. HA!
spanky said,
March 21, 2007 at 12:58 pm
I read it. filled with afterschool special feelings.
Jenn said,
March 21, 2007 at 2:53 pm
Ha. Well bully for you. I’m the one in the second paragraph. Yeah, that’s right. I’m a cool friend from grad school. Well at least I think I am.
spanky said,
March 21, 2007 at 3:21 pm
me= uninvited guest. general ruckus maker.
Heather said,
March 21, 2007 at 3:40 pm
Spanks = Chuck Norris’ favorite ever.
spanky said,
March 21, 2007 at 3:46 pm
Right on sistah!
Saranne Fosselman Miller said,
March 21, 2007 at 6:19 pm
Jenn, am I sensing a jealous undertone?
Jenn said,
March 21, 2007 at 7:09 pm
No. Well, okay, Maybe a little.
Jenn said,
March 21, 2007 at 7:10 pm
Have you noticed that we’ve now pushed two posts in a row to over 100 comments?
spanky said,
March 22, 2007 at 6:20 am
FIGHT FIGHT
Jenn said,
March 22, 2007 at 9:36 am
Settle down, Spanky.
spanky said,
March 22, 2007 at 10:15 am
Im sorry. I am properly settled now.
Jenn said,
March 22, 2007 at 10:27 am
It’s probably the vodka in your coffee cup.
spanky said,
March 22, 2007 at 10:28 am

Jesus, AGAIN with the anonymous crap. WTF?
Jenn said,
March 22, 2007 at 10:33 am
And now with the i? Like I’m some kind of I don’t know what? ARGH!
spanky said,
March 22, 2007 at 10:45 am
Whoa…lets all just take a deep breath and clam dowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn. Ok so i dont know who this anonymous person is. but when i find out i will slap them silly.
spanky said,
March 22, 2007 at 10:45 am
shoot i meant calm down not clam down…sounds like i meant some kinda illicit oral sex thing. clam down lolo
Heather said,
March 22, 2007 at 10:46 am
CLAM DOWN! THE OCTOPII ARE LISTENING TO EVERY WORD WE SAY.
spanky said,
March 22, 2007 at 11:01 am
Ohh yes id forgotten about that.
Jenn said,
March 22, 2007 at 11:23 am
Oh. My. God. Too funny!
Clam down. I love it.
michael said,
March 22, 2007 at 11:49 am
Does the clam have a beard in this thread, or were you all happy to finally get past your oral/privies hang up?
Sorry to lower the bar, once again.
spanky said,
March 22, 2007 at 11:55 am
Michael you have redeemed yourself. the clam is always bearded. someday, when i have enough courage I will tell my “nair: hair removal fiasco.” I still have chemical burn scars.
Saranne Fosselman Miller said,
March 22, 2007 at 12:50 pm
No, that’s not a beard. From where I’m sitting, it looks like a murkin to me. It’s a murkin-wearing clam. Sneaky little fella. You’d think that salt water would deteriorate the murkin glue. He must be a fresh water mollusk.
Saranne Fosselman Miller said,
March 22, 2007 at 12:51 pm
Jenn, I clearly did not miss the double serving of 100. I’m shooting for 150 on both.
spanky said,
March 22, 2007 at 12:54 pm
Hooo boy…and julie continues to elude us like jimmy hoffa
Jenn said,
March 22, 2007 at 1:00 pm
150 is for amateurs. I say we go for 200. We’re professionals.
Jenn said,
March 22, 2007 at 1:01 pm
You know, the longer this goes on, the more I think Heather is right and we ARE some kind of psychological experiment that Julie is conducting.
spanky said,
March 22, 2007 at 1:04 pm
Perhaps. it wouldnt be the first tiem this happened to me. Some advise ladies…if you get pills in the mail…DO NOT TAKE THEM…unless you can stand to loose a couple of days and dont have a pet to feed.
Heather said,
March 22, 2007 at 1:15 pm
That is the best advice I’ve ever gotten.
spanky said,
March 22, 2007 at 1:18 pm
Thanks, I learned the hard way. I try to share what i can
