Jimmy Buffett

Yes, I went to my first Jimmy Buffett concert on Saturday night. It was so much fun I could hardly stand it. I think I liked the tailgating as much or more than the actual concert.

The picture is the two hot babes I went with, and me. R, on the left, was also a Buffett virgin. M, in the middle, has been before and has it all down to a science. She supplied the leis, and even brought blueberry vodka, which I wasted no time enjoying.

More on the concert to come.

Free Food in the Conference Room!

Why is that when food is free we have to have some? When there are clients in, and there is leftover lunch, why do we become starving orphans who MUST storm the conference room and have the leftover pizza and pasta salad? Even if we just ate our own lunch?

Even if we ordinarily don't eat potato chips, or cookies, or whatever, if it is free we scarf it up like starving dogs.

Or is it just me?

The art is English painter Edith Corbet's A Bacchante.

Cat Training

You might think I am talking about training my cat, but I mean just the opposite. My cat is working hard at training me.

He meows like crazy, a loud plaintive cry. So I go to see what is the matter. Well, so far, nothing is the matter. He just wants attention. And I give it because he is so damn cute.

He is doing a great job of training me. I already feed him, brush him and scoop out his crap. Now he has me coming when called.

I gotta get a backbone. Any suggestions?

My New Cat

I picked him up at the Animal Rescue League. He was a stray. He is 2 years old, black with yellow eyes, and the laziest cat in the world. He basically sleeps. He does get up to eat and use the litter box, but that seems to exhaust him so much he goes back to sleep.

Hell, shedding makes this cat tired. It's OK though. He is a total cutie, really affectionate. I named him Cujo because he is so fearsome, as you can see from the picture.

Do you have a pet?

Hairspray or Deodorant?

I was at the gym today. I worked out legs and abs. I then showered, dried off, lotioned up, and realized I'd forgotten my deodorant. They do have some in the locker room. It is in a little spray bottle attached with Velcro to a container that holds a clear liquid labeled "deodorant/antiperspirant." I'd used it before, so I spritzed some on and started to dry my hair.

My underarms felt really sticky. I glanced back at the container, and it said "Super Hold Hair Spray." Yikes! They had an identical container with identical clear fluid, and an identical spray bottle, but one was hair spray and the other was deodorant.

OK it wasn't a disaster. I just got a towel, soaked it in water, and cleaned off the hairspray. Then used deodorant.

I feel better now.

The image is a painting by William-Adolphe Bouguereau, The Bather, 1879.

Tattoo

No, not da plane, da plane! Tattoo. I am thinking of getting a tattoo. I'm thinking of something on my upper arm, sort of like the one in the photo.

What do you think? Do you have tattoos? Do you like them? Am I just too old for this kind of thing?

This Is Hilarious

A friend sent me this link and it just cracked me up. It is an actual ad for a shaver.

As a woman, I am used to shaving, so trimming and shaving the er, other areas isn't that much of a hinderance. How do you feel about those pesky hairy mammalian areas?

The art is Austrian Expressionist painter Egon Schiele's Female Nude, 1910. While many of the models for turn of the century paintings did seem to use shavers, Schiele's models didn't.
