Friday, July 22, 2005

 I was driving back from Tonkawa just now and wondering what to post about. I've got everything, like how I went to Sacramento for fencing nationals and how Annette's gone for two weeks in Japan and how I've finally started flying lessons again and how my family's taking a vacation white water rafting down the Colorado river and. And. And... I'm going to post about them all in installments later. Today's post is a list of objects always found in my car.

1. an empty water bottle
2. at least one Weezer CD
3. a jar of Grey Poupon (partly because it's an inside joke, and partly because I think everyone needs a jar of Grey Poupon in their car)
4. this piece of gum that's been there for, I dunno, five months? I might still eat it, you know.
5. eleventy billion pennies
6. a piece of popcorn I can't get out from under the seat tracks

Speaking of Weezer, they played "This Is Such a Pity" at work the other day. I didn't know if I should be happy or offended, because Penney's only plays old people music and easy listening. They sandwiched it in between some pop song and that one song that's like "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot," too. I hate that song so much. I worked at Penney's two years ago when they started playing it, and it's STILL on the playlist. It's like the artist's mother is in charge of department store music everywhere. She must be stopped.

Uh. Yeah.

Well, I have two flights tomorrow-- a regular one and a big honking test. So goodnight.

The song is actually called "Big Yellow Taxi", but I'm not trying to be snooty about pointing that out, I swear, its just that it leads into my true question, which is:  Is it the original version of the song by Joni Mitchell or the Counting Crows cover?  Not that its really important or anything, I'm just kinda curious.

BIG YELLOW TAXI!!!! Ahhhhh!!!!!!!! I hate that song. It's on every MuZak CD in the USA!!! Every store you shop at....if you stay in there long enough, YOU WILL HEAR IT! I promise......I hate that song with a passion.*shudders*

PS: What about Christmas music?!?!?!?!? That ALONE is enough to make you want to quit retail and never go back! (And yet we still do.....) How many times can you hear "Santa Baby"?!?!?!?!?!?!?

As per DIY's comment:
It's usually BOTH versions....and there are some lesser known cover artists which they usually include too.

Bob Dylan covered it. So did Amy Grant. I even thought I heard Janet Jackson doing at least a piece of the song once. Ah, music trivia on old time songs. Where did Joni Mitchell get the inspiration for the song?

it's ok. it's all over xanga. he left like the 2nd week of July to go to work.. they have him basically travelling everywhere and working for 6 months. and last thursday he showed up at the club... because his location got rained out and he was staying at a hotel in baytown. I didn't get to see him, but his mom did... he like rushed in told her hi and rushed out. I don't know why he was in such a hurry but he was. maybe they were tired or something? but his mom gave me a way to reach him, so I called him when I left (after 2 AM) and he was all asleep and stuff and so he said he'd call me back tomorrow (friday) .. but he never called. and there could be a million reasons why he didn't but no body wants to see it that way.

Know what I like about your xanga? It reminds me I'm not the only person that never does anything with it.
