eighty years, with luck, or even less

when I found you that summer of seventy-eight

Day 75: I got Snuggle Time with the kittens today. It was nice. Now, it's Karaoke Time! Off to the bar with my dad, Uncle Eddie, and Aunt Wilma... If I'm lucky, my brother might show up, too.

Day 74: My Thanksgiving was fun. Hope yours was, too. :^)

Day 70: Malley loves me.

life can be fine if we both sixty-nine

Day 69: The left shoulder devil (monkey) and the right shoulder angel (Yoda) had a discussion as to what I should name this post. Yoda: "There are plenty of song lyrics out there with the number '69' used in tasteful reference to the year 1969. Use one of those." Monkey: "Oh, c'mon now. You can't pass up an opportunity to use a Monty Python quote!" As you can see, the monkey won.

...fifty-four, fifty-eight, sixty-four, sixty-eight...

Day 68: I caught part of a special presentation tonight on NBC. It was about John Lennon's death, and they mentioned the 25th anniversary memorial at Strawberry Fields in Central Park that I'm going to next month. Since the summer of 1997, I've promised myself that I would go to this year's memorial. I'm sure it will be sad, but I will enjoy the music and being with other fans. It's going to make me an immensely happy girl to be there. (Yes, the numbers in the title are song lyrics. It's a reference from Björk's "107 Steps" from Dancer in the Dark, my very favorite bawl-your-eyes-out movie.)

it was good in sixty-seven

Day 67: Note O'Malley blurring past in the background...

get your kicks on route sixty-six

Day 66: You can see up my nose. Eeew.

Day 65: Yes, it's Photoshopped. Low lighting + old digital camera = graininess that needs to be camouflaged somehow.

will you still feed me, when I'm sixty-four?

Day 64: What was the term Penny once used?... Oh, yes. I remember. "Rapid cycling." It hits the nail on the head.

what a night, late December back in sixty-three

Day 63: Brianne, Katherina's Michael, and I went to see Ben Folds at the Ryman tonight. It was spectacular. I'm a happy girl.

letters by his bed dated nineteen sixty-two

Day 62: We cooked out tonight, but didn't camp. That's okay, though. It's friggin' cold outside, and I got to snuggle some more with the kittens.

for sixty-one days, I got caught in the maze

Day 61: I made it to Chattanooga. Due to unforeseen circumstances and cancellations, camping may or may not happen tomorrow night. At least I'll get to play in the woods and take pictures, though. Mother tells me the leaves are still pretty here, but I can't see them right now in the dark.
