The two chords I know are:

G natural

E sharp minor

I am getting closer to my goal of transforming into Judy Collins.

JODDI ASS!

Yes, I am the weird ass freak who asked Eric to take pictures of his friend’s heiny. Little did I realize he would post an entire Flickr set of it! My bucket runneth over!

Here’s the original shot that started the whole game.

Hmmmm, six pence? a quid? a button?

I had such a great weekend. It was so great, I wish I was a trust fund baby so all my days could be as wonderful and uninterrupted by work. I spent most of the weekend with Robert on his farm! It’s not his farm exactly, he rents the carriage house. It’s an old house that has a porch swing that we sat in and swung back and forth while eating Klondike bars and drinking Margaritas. He showed me the cows in the field and fish in the stream. There is a wood paneled room upstairs where he keeps his computer and instruments and it was up in that room where he played me all sorts of songs. On his bass he played Rick James’ Super Freak and then on his acoustic guitar he played RITCHIE VALENS’ OH DONNA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (If you’ve been reading Donnaville for any extended period of time, you will know that, yes, all those exclamation points were necessary) He played a ton of other songs as well. He even taught me how to play two chords. I don’t know which chords they are but he said I showed great promise most likely because I used to play organ back when I was a little girl.

Okay, enough gushing, it’s time for me to work.

TGIF

by Donna on July 28th, 2006

I had a good month. Now I just have to figure out where next month’s sales are going to come from!

I am so happy it’s the weekend. I am tired of working. I want to PLAY! Or at least not work.

Ing and Ming

This movie is right up my alley: Brothers of the Head
Taken from their remote family home by an impresario eager to exploit their freak value, conjoined twins become proto-punk rockers in mid-’70s England.

Other movies starring conjoined twins:
Stuck on You (2003)
Twin Falls Idaho (1999)

Call me Big Papa

by Donna on July 28th, 2006

Huge electrical storm last night. I even allowed Bo to come under the covers with me until it ended. There was one bolt that I swear came down right outside my window. I took Bo for a walk this morning and investigated the area but did not find any marks. I am so happy today is Friday. The week went by quickly but I am completely ready to play. No more work for me! At least for a couple days.

I just noticed, I still have that 60 minute spa massage gift certificate that Mom and Lisa gave to me for my birthday last year. It expires the first day of September!!!! I HAVE TO USE IT!!!! All I need to do is schedule an appointment on a Saturday and go. There is nothing wrong with getting naked in front of another woman and having her touch me all over my body. It is perfectly innocent and it doesn’t freak me out one bit. Not a single tiny bit. I am very comfortable with the idea. Absolutely comfortable. Not a single part of my insides squirm when I think about it. I’ll call tomorrow.

Youtube Finds

by Donna on July 27th, 2006

Slumming around YouTube, I came up with some cool finds:

You might think, “Big whoop, Peter, Paul and slutty Mary,” but you’re wrong! John Denver is there!!!!! Freaking made my day!

I think this gal is HOT! Perhaps if I were a rockstar this is how I would perform….

Luke Skywalker in Pigs in Space

Frankie Avalon and Eva Six, I can’t tell you how many hours I have spent watching this sequence and trying to duplicate the hip shaking dance the girls perform

You KNOW Bobby D means business when he takes off his bow tie!!

And lastly a fan video of Where the Boys Are! There is even a tidbit of my favorite scene where Jim Hutton asks Paula Prentiss if she’d like to get a beer with him once they get to Fort Lauderdale and Paula’s like, “You’ll just have to wait and see” and Jim’s all like, “Wait and see what?” and Paula goes, “You better pull the car over, Jim” and Jim, of course, pulls the car over. Paula stands up on the car seat and says, “I’m 5 feet 10 1/2 inches! You still want to get a beer with me?” AND JIM GOES: (This is the most romantic line of all time, better brace yourselves, ladies) THAT’S A LOT OF GIRL, PAULA, A LOT OF NICE GIRL!”

If you don’t think these videos are the greatest ever, I will fight you. That’s no lie.

Song Song MobiBlu Blu

by Donna on July 27th, 2006

Like a lazy butt, I unintentionally slept in. I must have needed the sleep. It was so deep and although I know I had dreams, I just don’t remember them. I am feeling better. Yesterday I was zapped of energy and I fought the entire day to stay awake and keep productive. Maybe today I will be a little more motivated because I am well-rested.

The house, minus the kitchen, has been looking pretty good. I think it’s because we’ve been having visitors. That’s all the motivation we need to abandon our messy nature. Or at least, keep it at bay for just a little while. I think it’s also easier when it’s just one of us because then we can no longer blame the other one. When Lisa was working at the Hawk and was never around, the house sparkled because everything out of place was my fault so I knew what I needed to straighten. When I was working in Chicago the house sparkled because Lisa knew I’d kick her ass if it didn’t. Excuses are like butts, everyone has one and they all stink.

Last night I worked on my MobiBlu. I think I have it fixed. I had to do a forced reset on it by holding down the play button and then sticking a paperclip into the reset hole. Eventually the darn thing was recognized by my computer and I got the latest firmware in there. The songs seem to finally be shuffling and it’s not rebooting itself constantly. I can once again escape into a world of just music while riding the Northeast Corridor train.

Eagle eye

by Donna on July 26th, 2006

Back a year or so ago I was watching Beach Party with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello when my eagle eye caught Frankie Avalon “partaking the ganja” during a musical sequence! I posted pictures to document this amazingly subversive moment. Well, I have done one better this time, folks! I found the entire clip on YouTube! Sway to Dick Dale and the Deltones and watch for Frankie passing a joint to Jodie “Deadhead” McCree.

Side Note:
Although I believe in the legalization of drugs, I DO NOT CONDONE DRUG USE (unless it takes the form of HEROINE)!
