My Date With Myself
08.24.05 (6:34 pm) [edit]No jack-off jokes, you bastards.
Left work and headed north. Had Mexican food for dinner. A couple beers. I drove with the windows down, singing to Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend, a chewy, grungy album of killer slabs of pop, with OUTRAGEOUS lead guitar work courtesy of Richard Lloyd and Robert Quine. The album is something like 13 years old, if I remember right, but I've recently rediscovered it.
Night fell as I sat outside at the restaraunt, reading Hunter's tales of jackrabbits and crazed rushes to meet deadlines. I came back south listening to Beck's Sea Change. Stopped for another pack of strings (too many guitars to get in shape) and decided to stop here at the library.
After a ten-hour day at work (including a tired but happy walk upstairs following The Heavenly Ass) it's been nice to get out for a night and just relax.
Not a bad thing at all,
Dougie

Ah, Girlfriend. Not necessarily his greatest album, but one of my all time favourites.
So did you put out for yourself, or did you slam the door in a petulant frenzy?

You were the one who got me into Matthew Sweet back when that stuff came out, but it's been eons since I listned to it.
got a lot of his other stuff out of the library. Listened to Altered Beast last night, which I didn't like as much as Girlfriend, but it's pretty damn good.
I was too tired to put out. Bitch that I am.

Great story for you - I was talking to Sheryl the other day and was telling her about a meeting at work. Turned out to be nothing big, but we thought we were all getting fired or something.
I said to her "Yeah, I kinda wondered if it was going to be a sexual harrassment lecture."
Sheryl: "Yeah, I wonder what would bring THAT on, you stalker. I've got your heavenly ass right here!"
I really miss her sometimes. :)
