SAY GOODBYE TO HOLLYWOOD? OR MARYLAND? OR ARLINGTON?
Bobby's drivin' through the city tonight
Through the lights in a hot new rent-a-car
He joins the lovers in his heavy machine
It's a scene down on Sunset Boulevard
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye to my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye to my baby
Johnny's takin' care of things for a while
And his style is so right for troubadours
They got him sitting with his back to the door
Now he won't be my fast gun anymore
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye to my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye to my baby
Chorus:Movin' on is a chance that you take
Any time you try to stay together
Whoa
Say a word out of line
And you find that the friends you had
Are gone forever
Forever
Repeat Chorus
So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last
Some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye to my baby
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye to my baby
Movin' on is a chance that you take
Any time you try to stay together
Whoa
Say a word out of line
And you find that the friends you had
Are gone forever
Forever
So many faces in and out of my life
Some will last
Some will just be now and then
Life is a series of hellos and goodbyes
I'm afraid it's time for goodbye again
Say goodbye to Hollywood
Say goodbye to my baby
Saying goodbye to Hollywood, or New York or any major market or network doesn't sound like such fun, but as Billy Joel says, "life is a series of hellos and goodbyes." I am working in three go-nowhere jobs, one of which I hate and none of which pay well, so it's time to tell at least one of them "goodbye."

SOME FUN TUNES
Here are some cute tunes. One of the Pigloo people started a "Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy" thread Bruce Springstone and the Screaming Blue Messiahs freak out poor Pippin.

MILLIONS MORE MARCH
Newschannel 8 reports the Millions More March went peacefully. At least they included women. I'm sure I would have been welcome as hell -- a white woman wearing a star of David. Grooms says Judaism becomes me. Karen says "G-d knows what she's worshipping now."
At least there were no riots like there are in Toledo.

BAD MOOD DAY
Okay, by now it's night. Everyone else is out clubbing and I am working. They drive in from the suburbs in their sports cars and block me on my way to work. They clog up the lines at McDonald's when all I want are three stinking cookies. There was a trampy-looking chick in front of me in an orange dress. I wanted to ask here if that was her Halloween costume. The guy whom I relieve runs a sloppy board and is out before the stroke of midnight, as though he were gonna turn into a pumpkin. I will feel better when I get more sleep. Hopefully in a couple days.

50 WEEKS
The weather has been horrible and people's attitudes are horrible. We are living in a police state and cops are ticketing everywhere. Co-workers are asking me to help them with their side businesses for free and act insulted when I ask for something in return And the bad dreams are back.

THE GATE IS CLOSING
Today is Yom Kippur, the day of atonement. There is so much I have to atone for, including my inability to forgive and forget. Catherine and I had pork and pinot at David Greggory last night. The only thing that would have made it less kosher would be to do it on Passover. With a loaf of rye bread and a glass of milk.

WHY SOME MEN NEED TO PAY ME FOR MASSAGES
Because they are unattractive. And they can't spell or punctuate. And they use really annoying little emoticons. And no other adult human female will touch them. Here is an example. Here is a related film.

COLUMBUS DAY

DO YA
In this life I've seen everything I can see woman,
I've seen lovers flying through the air hand in hand
I've seen babies dancing in the midnight sun,
And I've seen dreams that came from the heavenly skies above
I've seen old men crying at their own grave sides
And I've seen pigs all sitting watching, picture slides
But I never seen nothing like you.
CHORUS:
Do ya do ya want my love
Do ya do ya want my face
Do ya do ya want my mind
Do ya do ya want my love
Well I, heard the crowd singin' out of tune,
As they, sat and sang Auld Lang Syne by the light of the moon
I heard the preachers bangin' on the drums,
And I heard the police playin' with their guns
But I never heard nothin' like you.
In the country where the sky touches down
On the field, she lay her down to rest
In the morning sun,
They come a'runnin' just to get a look, just to
Feel to touch her long black hair they don't give a damn
CHORUS -- repeat
Well I think you know what I'm trying to say woman,
That is I'd like to save you for a rainy day,
I've seen enough of the world to know,
That I've got to get it all to get it all to grow.
CHORUS -- repeat
By Jeff Lynne
'70's music was underrated at times. This one is on the Monster.com TV spot, the one on which you see people deliriously happy in their new jobs. I think it's been years since I felt that way about a job.
Yes I've seen and heard a lot but I've never seen or heard anything like you. Yes, I want your face and your mind and your love. I know at least you want my body. To here the song, click here and scroll down to ORCHESTRA. I like the part about pigs watching picture slides.

ZIPS IS THE PITS
Despite using a deodorant made for a man (my father's unused Old Spice) I still sweat pretty heavily, so one of my dresses had pronounced pit odour. Normally I am very satisfied with Zip's Dry Cleaners on Connecticut Avenue but today when I picked the dress up I sniffedthe pits and the odour was still there. I took it back immediately and the woman admitted there was still some pit odour but tried to explain they "didn't have anything" to remove it. She said they would clean the dress again. After a bad experience at another cleaner's I always sniff my clothes before leaving the store. A couple years ago I went to Artistic Valeton Columbia Road and my dress came back smelling like urine (it didn'tsmell that way when I left it there).
I got a couple e-mails from neighbours about this. One said places like Zips' don't really clean stuff -- they just press it. Ugh. Another one suggested I buy dress shields.

PRIESTLY PERVERT
WTOP reports the priest who baptized me has been busted on kiddie porn charges. I didn't know whether I wanted to throw up or take a shower. Sometimes I so want out of this church.
A couple years ago the pastor of my parents' church was fired for having sex with a woman. No word as to how old she was or whether she was a parishioner. The ironic thing was this asshole used to preach about the good posture during prayer and the evils of gum-chewing and praying with your hands in your pockets. I guess no one ever told him about keeping your penis in your pants.

THE BOOK OF LIFE
So it's a new year. I do feel some optimism, as I am about to finish massage school and there are rumours of other non-massage jobs. Considering I've lost three family members and a pig in the past year, I wonder whose names are inscribed in the Book of Life for this year?

Kellyjo sent this:
1. Okay, okay! I take it back. Un-fuck you.
2. You say I'm a bitch like it's a bad thing.
3. Well, this day was a total waste of make-up.
4. Well, aren't we a damn ray of sunshine?
5. Don't bother me; I'm living happily ever after.
6. Do I look like a people person?
7. This isn't an office. It's hell with fluorescent lighting.
8. I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.
9. Therapy is expensive. Popping bubble wrap is cheap. You choose.
10. Why don't you try practicing random acts of intelligence and senseless acts of self-control? 11. I'm not crazy. I've been in a very bad mood for 30 years.
12. Sarcasm is just one more service I offer.
13. Do they ever shut up on your planet?
14. I'm not your type. I'm not inflatable.
15. Stress is when you wake up screaming and you realize you haven't gone to sleep yet!
16. Back off!! You're standing in my aura.
17. Don't worry. I forgot your name too.
18. I work 45 hours a week to be this poor.
19. Not all men are annoying. Some are dead.
20. Wait...I'm trying to imagine you with a personality.
21. Chaos, panic and disorder. My work here is done.
22. Ambivalent? Well, yes and no.
23. You look like shit. Is that the style now?
24. Earth is full. Go home.
25. Aw, did I step on your poor little itty bitty ego?
26. I'm not tense, just terribly, terribly alert.
27. A hard-on doesn't count as personal growth.
28. You are depriving some village of an idiot.
29. If assholes could fly, this place would be an airport.
30. Look in my eyes. Do you see one ounce of gives-a-shit?

I'M LOVIN' IT
Stopped at Mac's on Duke St. and saw a cop bust a guy. It was like watching a trainwreck -- I couldn't stop watching. The cop asked "am I scaring you?" I said no, with all the scarey shit that's been going on in my life since I was two years old, this was a patty-cake race. Actually I was glad not to be the one being busted, but I didn't tell her that.

WHY IS IT
That stalkers are so physically unattractive? Then again, if one found them attractive, they wouldn't be stalkers -- they would be suitors or love interests or something like that.

At least once I've dreamt my father was still alive and I had to watch him die again. I also dreamt Pippin walked into a very deep water hole and I had to go save him.
Too bad Dad and Grandma didn't die in Hurricane Katrina and that I didn't lose my job as a result of the hurricane and that I was robbed about a block from my own home, instead of in the Superdome after the hurricane. I might have got a gift card from Shaquille O'Neal and Sean Penn would have come to visit me.

GROWING UP SOUTHERN
Growing up in Virginia, from the time I was 12 I had to convince people I am not an inbred, illiterate hick. Some kid from Pennsylvania asked if we got anything on TV besides Hee Haw.
