friday night light

No Comprende: For some inexplicable reason I woke up this morning with the Wall of Voodoo song Mexican Radio running through my mind.

It has become a code orange ear worm.

Boss quote of the week: "I reviewed the reports you did this week, and I'm really worried that you didn't make any mistakes. I mean you HAD to do something wrong." Uh, thanks?

London Calling?: Today I paid $2.65 a gallon for regular unleaded. How high will it go? A buddy in the UK told me he paid what equates to $5.55 per US gallon for petrol. Can US prices be far behind?

Patch Adams: When you make a sales pitch you need to dress appropriately. That midriff top. Not appropriate. The low rise slack? Hmmm. Not so much.

But if you DO wear all the aforementioned items, make sure that your birth control patch isn't sticking up above your pants. (True Story!) Did she think that after she left we talked about her presentation? No, it was more along the lines of: OMG! Did you see her patch?!

Mind Reader: I was waiting to see if Katie Couric was going to go Thorn Birds on that young American priest she was interviewing at the Vatican before John Paul's funeral. Oh Behave Ms. Couric!

Karma: After a particularly hellish week at work, I had to laugh when I was pulling out of the parking lot and the song I Want to Break Free, by Queen, was playing on the radio. You know what they say, timing is everything. Yes, indeed.

I discovered that you can get rid of most any ear worm by singing Salt 'n' Pepa's "Push it": this can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on your feelings about the song, but I love it, so I don't mind: "Yo, yo, yo, yo, baby-pop..."

What does a birth-control patch look like? Does it have a picture of a baby with a red line through it? (I followed the link and was disappointed by how plain it was. They should be like band-aids, and come in all sorts of varieties:
Man:"Hey, come here and look at her Spongebob Sqarepants(c)birth control patch!"
Second Man: "Oooo, that's ginchy!")
