Some notes

*I chatted with the lady who ran the interior decorating place downstairs. Seems as though she'll be opening a little cafe downstairs. Cool, right? It gets better! In said cafe they'll have a juke box and a pool table! It'll be a home away from home, which is convenient, as it's just downstairs. Sweet!

*I watched Michael Jackson's Thriller video last night on youtube...you know, the video with the zombies and what not who crawl out of their graves in the cemetary. Then, I realized that my little street would be a perfect setting for a zombie movie. My house has a creepy quality to it, and I'm right across the street from a cemetary (with our very own signer of the Declaration of Independence). I'd be the humans first line of defense. I apologize in advance.

*I'm reading a great book called "Lucky Dog" by Mark Barrowcliffe. A guy inherits a dog, and the dog speaks to him, but to no one else. The dude thinks he's gone mental. Anyway a snippet from the back cover...a canine pearl of wisdom:
On couches being chewable because they are actually sausages:
"It's got skin, it's got stuffing, what am I not getting here?"
Another quote from the book...one of the funniest things I've read in a while:
"In certain English tourist brochures you're invited to "step back in time." This isn't always a good thing. On my one visit to Liverpool, for instance, I managed to get lost and ended up stepping back in time to what appeared to be the middle of the Toxteth riots of the 1980s."
I have no clue what the Toxteth riots were, but that's beyond the point...
