I went through and deleted some of my saved messages on my phone. But before I deleted them for good, I thought I’d post some here for you guys.

(I just love posting my dirty laundry, as you all know)

To begin, let’s start with a funny one. This is a note from one of my friends whose sense of humor I adore, after I’d told him that Annie had called me:

Next, here’s a not-so-funny one, the last I ever heard from Kelly. We tend to call this “sandwiching.” Don’t worry, the next one will be funny.

And last but not least, here’s a funny one Sam left me a few days ago:

I miss Sam. I did end up getting to the grocery store. I made myself a delicious turkey sandwich when I got home. I love sandwiches.

I haven’t been able to get Flash to work on my blog to post cute videos from my childhood. I need to allocate an entire day to fixing it. Flash is my nemesis, I can never get it to work. But I will prevail one of these days.

Overpowered

I’ve been listening to this album, Overpowered, nonstop since I downloaded it, and I’m in love.

Róisín Murphy is the chick from Moloko, which I also adore. I had no idea she had solo work…but her voice is amazing. Overpowered has a really sultry, jazzy feel and at its worst it could be called club anthemy, but the synths are nuanced and the lyrics are surreal.

Róisín Murphy - Overpowered

She’s got this really jazzy sensibility to the music..it’s one part Bjork, one part Shirley Bassey, and one part a non-heroin addict Amy Winehouse.

It’s on the media vault, if you would like to listen.

Also, loving her makes me want to rediscover Moloko. I’m helpless for bands whose names are surreptitious references to A Clockwork Orange. Here’s my favorite song from their debut Do You Like My Tight Sweater?

How do you come up with the lyric “I dreamt that the bogeyman went down on Mr. Spock” other than to have just such a dream.

they really should have sent a black spy

I had so much fun on Thursday!

Zero, Mario, and I met at Naked Lounge after I got off of work for coffee. After that, we headed over to Café Bernardo, where Mario got a burger, and Zero and I snuck off for some drinks.

An Amaretto Sour and a shot of Stoli later, I was ready to see The Bank Job.

It wasn’t a bad film, I mean, it was better than a sharp stick to the face and it provided a lot of really funny MST3K moments.

After the movie, we went down to Prum Brossum (Plum Blossom) and had some food. It was a really nice night, so we all sat outside and we ended up being the witnesses to a minor traffic accident, which was rather exciting.

Mario did his whole “I’m not eating because I’m fat” thing. Yawn.

After dinner, it was around midnight and we had nothing else to do, so we decided to pay Johnny a visit. I called him, but it didn’t go through and then I realized that in Johnny had changed his number because he switched carriers (apparently he didn’t know about number portability), so zero called Brian and tried to get him to acquiesce. Brian would not let us see him under any circumstances.

I thought that maybe it would go better than it did with Brian there because maybe the guy wouldn’t be as uptight? Anyway, it didn’t happen so we went to the 24-hour Wal-Mart in West Sac without him. I don’t know what we ended up buying, but we have a whole bunch of fun making fun of the products there and about 20 minutes being completely distracted by the ridiculous games at the little arcade there. I need to do some data recovery on that stupid memory card in my phone that has never worked, but I can’t seem to find the card reader. Oh, here it is. Let me see…ah, here they are. Windows Mobile is just retarded.

I’m the Abraham Lincoln prom queen.

Well, I need to get to the grocery store before it gets dark. I watched Fail-Safe last night, it was incredible.
