The closest thing to a date I had last year was a trip to the Mt. Angel Oktoberfest with a neighbor. In fact, it was the closest thing I’ve had to a date since I broke up with my girlfriend the week before 9/11/2001. Today we went out to breakfast. Thus, I’ve made it halfway to my New Year’s resolution. If, of course, you count the breakfast as a date. I had to leave so I could help my friend John with his yacht. It turns out he just needed me to crawl under the fly bridge-thingy to disconnect some wires. It didn’t take very long.
I’m thinking of ordering some old CDs from BMG and I’d like somebody to give me some help. I mean, this is the third time I’ve mentioned Rob Swift because that’s the only cool CD I’ve bought in years. On BMG I’ve got the following CDs in my “Shopping Cart”:
| Artist | Album | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Various | Living in Oblivion 2-4 | 80’s cheese-music compilations |
| The Psychedelic Furs | Greatest Hits | |
| Pet Shop Boys | Alternative | a CD I lost |
| Duran Duran | Singles Boxset 1981-1985 | I miss the remixes of “Planet Earth” and “Rio” |
| Various Artists | Red Hot & Rio | I’ve lost TWO copies of this CD already |
| New Order | Retro | Just because I have all the other New Order CDs |
| Control Machete | Artiller&iaccent;a Pesada, Presenta | Just trying something new |
| Fountains of Wayne | Welcome Interstate Managers | A suggestion from my sister |
It may be lucky that the web site is broken and won’t allow me to buy these CDs rignt now.
Honestly, I finally have an iPod with 5091 songs (14.8 days worth) but I’ve been listening to Erasure‘s “Pop! The First 20 Hits” repeatedly. I think I should break out into something else, but not just The Pet Shop Boys. Maybe Journey.
