Happy Halloween!

by Donna on October 31, 2004

And now time for The Worst Witch singalong!
[spoken] It’s great to be here, with you young witches, on this fabulous night! Remember Gills, show the world, let them know it’s Halloween. Hit it!

[singing]
I wouldn’t change places
With anyone tonight
We’ll carve pumpkin faces
And watch the witches flight
Every human heart will shudder
Every soul will shake with fear
Tonight, the [...]

The Mash

by Donna on October 31, 2004

Instead of going for songs about Monsters and silly stuff for inclusion on a Halloween CD, it dawned on me yesterday that as long as it is haunting, it could be a regular song. House of the Rising Sun. People are Strange. Anything at all by Nick Cave. Some Johnny Cash. [...]

I’ve got another GIG

by Donna on October 31, 2004

Audra came over. We ate dinner at my parents. Then we came back to the Donna Villa and watched the Worst Witch on DVD. What a great Halloween movie! Lisa was either pretty impressed or rather repulsed that Audge and I knew the complete lyrics to Anything Can Happen on Halloween. [...]

Da MONKEES!

by Donna on October 30, 2004

Just finished watching, Daydream Believers: The Monkees Story. It was a lot of fun. The fellow who portrayed Davy looked so much like him except he was as tall as Mike! And the Micky fro made its appearance far too early. Micky didn’t let his hair wild until second season! [...]

I try, I really try

by Donna on October 29, 2004

Last night in the elevator, leaving work, I overheard a ridiculous conversation that really shook my faith in people. There were two men in the elevator with me.
“You should have seen the email I got today!”
“Yeah?”
“This email really showed what an idiot we have for president!”
“Right on!”
“There were pictures of this ass right after [...]

by Donna on October 27, 2004

After work I walked to Borders on Michigan. I finally exchanged the Billy Jack DVD Lisa gave me for my birthday. Then I went to Walgreens where I bought tissues and breathmints and a large bottle of Aspirin for the tradeshow next week. Walking back to the hotel, I could see the [...]

Berlin

by Donna on October 26, 2004

It was so nice seeing Berlin yesterday in that movie. I so wish I was there. Isn’t it funny? Here I am in the middle of Chicago, dreaming I am in Berlin. Lisa has been trying to convince me that we should spend Christmas in Berlin. Maybe next year. [...]

I will keep my room clean
I will do all the things I [...]
