Loverboy and red leather pants

[thrihyrne]

I should be more disturbed than I am that:

1) I'm back at the office and it's 9:30 p.m.

2) I'm listening to a media player that is all 80's music and I can sing along to "Workin for the Weekend"

3) ...and "Hey Mickey"

4) I can remember the LP cover for that Loverboy song.

Leather.

*sigh*

Oooh.

I was driving downtown to attend the final orchestra dress of "Salome" and found myself absolutely fuming at the bumper sticker on a minivan in front of me that had printed on it:

MARRIAGE = (male symbol) + (female symbol)

Well, what about the nuns and monks?

MARRIAGE = (fe/male symbol) + (halo??)

UGH. This seems ridiculous. How about one for all of the arranged marriages that used to be par for the course, and still are in many countries?

MARRIAGE = (male symbol) + $$/ESTATE/PROGENY/POLITICAL STRENGTH

MARRIAGE = (female symbol) + NO DOWRY/ESTATE/PROGENY/POLITICAL STRENGTH

Oh, nevermind. I just hate it. Buckle of the bible belt and all.



Anyway, not here for long, but have to share a sentence to be worked into edeainfj's Eowyn/Aragorn story being written in the manner of At Swim, Two Boys. It's Eowyn speaking to Merry, when he's trying to figure out why she is outfitting him to go with her and the Rohirrim. Since this is part of the first draft JRRT, they're both going without being undercover. Haven't gotten there yet within the story, but I can see where it will fit in.

Love quiets the mind when it is the heart which must be heard.

p.s. licia_north ppsssst. They just put on "Take on Me" by A-Ha!!! :D :D

Ooooh, 80s music! *very big grin* I was listening to some of that myself today. Bananarama, anyone?

I would put a "Straight But Not Narrow" sticker in one of the sticker-hangers in my car window, except that (1) it's not actually accurate, and (2) I fear that my window would be smashed in. *sigh* I'll have to stick with "How Would Jesus Drive?"

"How Would Jesus Drive?"

LOL!! I do have a "Got Gimli?" bumpersticker but I was going to put it on my bright orange luggage. It'll just wear off my car. I should do that anyway.

Yay!! I like it too. Guess I should go home and actually do some writing, eh??

Monks/nuns would be (male/female symbol with an X through it), no? Like the washing nistructions?

[thrihyrne.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... could be, although some nuns refer to themselves as "Brides of Christ." Food for thought. ;)

Buckle of the bible belt and all.

Hmm..if Nashville is the buckle of the bible belt, where exactly would Louisiana be? *big grin*
