hot coffee girl

Yes, I am still alive.

But...wow. What a month.

I had the most ass-kicking two weeks at work I've had in the 9 months I've been there. I am TRYING to move. I still have to finish packing. The utilities getting hooked up are a cluster. (I will apparently have heat now but no electricity until Monday or Cable/Internet until next Friday or Saturday.) 

I have been eating for shit, I need a manicure, and if I don't make it to the salon, my eyebrows may apply for their own zip code. I have been neglecting all of my friends so much that I may not have any left to attend my housewarming party. But who could blame them with eyebrows like mine?

Good times. 

Michael Symon, of Lola and Lolita fame here in Cleveland, has been crowned the next Iron Chef America.

I can't imagine a foodie in town that doesn't feel like the Browns just won the Super Bowl. Except ... this really happened.

Great job, Michael! You did our city proud. 

So, you know about the favorite lyrics. And I promised movie quotes.

This was actually harder. A song is ... what ... something like 4 minutes long? And generally packed full of lyrical goodness. (Shuttup about Kid Rock.) But movies? Oy. So much more potential, yes. But harder to pick a list of favorite lines. (These are not necessarily from my favorite movies, my the way. That's a whole different post.)

But I promised and I love you all. So, here we go. Play along.

1. That rug really tied the room together.
2. Well, when I get it the only thing that does any good is to jump in a cab and go to Tiffany's. Calms me down right away. The quietness and the proud look of it; nothing very bad could happen to you there. If I could find a real-life place that'd make me feel like Tiffany's, then - then I'd buy some furniture and give the cat a name!
3. It's true, you are a good woman. Then again, you may be the antichrist.
4. What would you do if you had a million dollars? I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.
5. I remember every detail. The Germans wore gray, you wore blue.
6. Of all the gin joints, in all the towns, in all the world, she walks into mine.
7. Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

Speaking about words and phrases that are making their rounds, I am a big lyrics gal. Don't get me wrong, I love the sounds that go behind some of my favorite songs. But it's really the words that do it for me.

Since we already know that I have some really ... um ... "eclectic" taste in music (some might argue downright shitty, but whatev) ... what turns me on could come from a variety of sources. Prince is a big one. But it can be Kid Rock or Ol' Blue Eyes. You never know. Here's 10 of my favorite lines, in no real order...

1. "When their eloquence escapes you, their logic ties you up and rapes you."
2. "Crabalocker fishwife pornographic priestess boy you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down."
3. "Dress me up in women's clothes, mess around with gender roles...dye my eyes and call me pretty."
4. "Grab a bottle of scotch and watch lots of crotch."
5. "Step out the front door like a ghost into a fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white."
6. "Can I mix in with your affairs? Share a smoke, make a joke, grasp and reach for a leg of hope....words all fail the magic prize. Nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs."
7. "I'm reaching out for something but touching nothing's all I ever do. I softly call you over, when you appear there's nothing left of you."
8. "And I'm getting harder than Chinese Algebra."
9. "Someday you will find me, caught beneath a landslide...."
10. "I'm more than a bird. I'm more than a plane. I'm more than some pretty face beside a train." 

I am sure that I forgot some. This is a hard one. Feel free to rip it off (let us know if you do so we visit) ... or leave your own favorite line in the comments. And if you're really bored, try to guess who the artists are. (I'll post them tomorrow or so for those who are lazy, stumped, or both.)
