Well, folks, Kathleen "I'm Nailed Right In!" Lippincott turns 17. That's some crazy shite, y'all.

I'll be in and out today - I have a meeting in about two hours, but it's at the Capitol, so I have to get down there like an hour ahead since it's such a crap-ass place to park.

Who's here?!

It's INRI's b-day? Excellent.

By an odd coincidence, it is also Mrs. Kathleen Outlaw's (Grandmutha) birthday. She turns 70. I always remember her b-day, because it is the First Day of Spring.

Does Slobberbone just have the one disc?

I found lots of Billy Joe Shaver.

H! They have two dics - one of them is hard to get.

I just want the dahawag song, mostly. So I can have repeated images of almost dying in front of them.

-- Anonymous, March 20, 2001

The dahawag is my fave, but only barely ahead of "Lumberlung." I don't know why, but I lo...mmm that song so much. Not as much as I love Alabama Ass Whuppin' by the Drive-by Truckers, though.

We were supposed to go to a record store but we didn't. Oh well. I think Brad took 27 pictures of Sarah Harmer.

One of the girls who went down there quit yesterday.

One of the girls that went to sxsw? Did she quit because she looooooved Austin so much that she just had to move there and live among the hippies? Because I'm thinking about it.

-- Anonymous, March 20, 2001

You know you can order Slobberbone from a few places on the web. You might be able to find that first disc - but Gimme Back My Dog is on the second.

-- Anonymous, March 20, 2001

I think she was gonna quit anyway, and that trip was just a last hoorah type thing.

Al - you and me both. If Lucinda can make it playing on 24th and Guadalupe, so can I. Of course, I should probably learn to play guitar first.

Oh, they're playing in Chicago on April 6th. Oh, and in Dallas every other weekend of course.

-- Anonymous, March 20, 2001

Who, the Bone? Yeah, they play in Dallas a lot. Wouldn't mind seeing them in Chicago, though...

So, let's go! I can fly from here for under $100. Southwest loves the Columbus-Chicago route.

Yeah, yeah... I'll need a sugardaddy for that one, though.

Sorry I was oot for a sec, my computer like, blew a gasket and I had to reboot three times.

You know... why did I ever think I could do a long-distance relationship and be ok with it? I mean, frankly, it irritates the shit out of me.

The next time I see the MOC? April 13. Sucks. And he's FOUR hours away. I mean, what is the deal? Blah blah blah mastersdegree cakes.

-- Anonymous, March 20, 2001

oh baby, I'm sorry. That does suck. Is it possible for you to drive down there for just like, one night, or anything?

When does he graduate?

-- Anonymous, March 20, 2001

Well, you know how I hate to chase, and I hate to feel needy, and I hate to ask for more of his time, and I hate everything, and I hate your daddy, and all of that - so when he tells me we can't get together until April 13 (and he has comps coming up - so he definitely has a very legit reason) I cannot get mad.

I mean I WILL NOT whine or complain or say ANYTHING other than a cheery "~OK!~" but then, in private, I have to kick something. Because, I'm definitely not mad at Chris - I guess I'm just frustrated. I need to just take my own advice and live my life, don't I? And when the dust settles, and he decides on his future, I'll have to see if it coincides with what I want for mine.

Life is HARD!

-- Anonymous, March 20, 2001

You're totally right.

But can I just say that speaking up about what you need is not being needy. And maybe he needs a little more spontenaity in his ocd life.

-- Anonymous, March 20, 2001

I know. Crazy MOC. You'd never know it by looking at him, but the military comes to the surface every once in a while.

I know, you're right. I really have been trying to balance the stoicism with expressing my needs. It ain't easy.

Going to lunch now - will return asap.

Rove!

I think I might actually try to go see the Bone, but that's stupid. Right? I could see one of my college roommates. Haven't seen her in like 3 years. And it's only a 5 hr drive. Cause I'd need a car and I'm not that jet-setting that I'd fly somewhere I could also drive.

-- Anonymous, March 20, 2001

Bridget? Is she still with that older guy?

GOOD LORD, I'm hungry. I've been in meetings and driving around town since 10:30 this morning. Plus, it is cold and windy as all get out. Windy-ramma.

Allison, can he not go to Dallas until April 13, or can you not see him, period, until April 13?

-- Anonymous, March 20, 2001

Nope, they broke up. Finally! Which is why she's back in Chicago.

And Al - the Gourd is playing two nights earlier. Mayn.

Allison. Get yourself to Gretagaines.com and check out her gallery. The first photo. Love her. But there are shots of her with Lucinda and Willie.

(Lucinda looks hotter onstage and in her awesome pants, but you know, whatever.)

My mom just called me because she needed to "recognize to someone" that 36 years ago today she married my dad. But she's not sad about it. She just likes to make me cry at WORK.

Of course she's not sad - she has you and Guy!

Give me a moment to prepare myself before I look at GretaGaines.com.

Ok... damn. I had to make that picture of her on the payphone my desktop wallpaper. Replacing the picture of Chicken Lippincott that had been there for so very long. That's saying a lot.

Well, only someone like Greta could replace someone like Chicken L.

She has so many great hats!

I'm back. Ugh. Had to deal with the bank. My deposit on Friday didn't post. I asked them why. They said that the deposits from Friday afternoon didn't get picked up. I was all, "You're telling me that my deposit sat outside the bank ALL WEEKEND until someone noticed that the courier didn't pick them up??" Whatevuh.

Except for the student loan and the car insurance. La la la. It's all good, though. I'm calm, and my bank account is in the black.

I have no idea how I managed to stay outta my overdraft after spain and Austin. But I did. Somehow. Of course, my car insurance goes through tomorrow, and that'll take care of that, but whatever.

-- Anonymous, March 20, 2001

Oh, it's in the black only because of my overdraft protection that pulls form my Visa. I had paid down so much of it, and now it's up again. Dammit.

People, I am jonesing for Sephora and Lush. Stop me before I spend again.

Also, more than ever lately, I have been breaking my brand loyalty to Crabtree & Evelyn, which I said I would never do, claiming I would be buried surrounded by my Swiss Skin Care... I feel like a cheater.
