It looks like I’ll be singing ‘I Ain’t Got Nothin’ But the Blues’ instead of ‘Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend’ in this revue show I’m in charge of. I think it’ll work out nicely, though. Less work involving getting 12 and 13 year old girls to cooperate, and I’ll get a feather boa. 🙂 Hehe. I’m going to do it as a really melodramatic club show from the 40’s. It should be funny… I hope. I just came back from practicing with the pianist, and it should be good. At least I can sing it.

I wish I could have found the sheet music for Peggy Lee’s “I Love Being Here With You.” That would have been hilarious. “Summertime” would have been nice and sexy and if I weren’t going for funny, but this is for a church thing so I can’t do that. That would be blasphemous or something.

Did I mention that my computer has died again? It was working okay after Steven reinstalled windows, but then it completely messed up the phone line. It kept taking the phone off the hook, then dialing some phantom number over and over again. We still aren’t sure who it was trying to contact. Probably the space ship that abducted it, probed it, then sent it back to me just to make my life a little bit more interesting. Stupid aliens, they should mind their own business. Hehehe. 🙂 Anyway, now I have to get a new processor and a new motherboard. I’m not surprised, honestly; those bits are over 5 years old. It’ll be nice to have it up and running again so I’ll actually be able to update the Daily Prophet. Yeah, I know, it hasn’t been updated in *ages*, but it’s not my fault. All the latest articles were saved on my hard drive because I couldn’t find the right zip disk. Go blame the aliens.

I was watching the news yesterday and they showed a clip of President Bush giving a speech. I can’t believe he actually said, “I said what I meant, and I meant what I said.” Someone needs to send that man a Horton Hears a Who neck-tie. “I said what I meant, and I meant what I said, a President’s faithful, one hundred percent… unless your name is Bill.” 🙂

I’m feeling a bit better today. I think I might actually get more writing done, and who knows, maybe in the afternoon I’ll swim the English channel, and then take over France. The options are endless. 🙂

Oh! I almost forgot – I got a “cheerful letter or message” in the mail today. A Tiffany & Co. catalogue. I’m hoping that’s just the prelude, though, and a big whopping check will come tomorrow.
