**Walks into the bar - almost tripping over the doorstep :drunk:**

**Goes behind bar and makes herself a banana-smootie**

Time for breakfast... (looks at her watch)... brunch... (looks at her watch again)... lunch - whatever! :shrug:

**Goes over to the couch and lies down**

After only getting in bed at around 4am... :crack: ...I'll just... :yawn:... take a little power-nap over here... :yawn: ...

>>> :yawn: Walks into the bar, and notices that the fire went out in the fireplace. Goes round back, and plucks a few pieces of wood for the fire. Quietly attempts to restart fire, and is successfull doing so <<<

>>> Looks at Merc, :happy: and notices that her glasses are still on. Gently pulls them off and puts them on the table so they won't break <<<

*whispers to self * I wonder if she'll recognize me without the glasses?

>>> Thinks that she looks :cute: sleeping, but is also envious of the power nap. Crawls into a ball in the easy chair, and pulls the flannel blanket around my legs to add to the warmth. :yawn:
 
**Wakes up slowly... hearing the wood burning and feeling the heat from the fire.**

**Turns around on the side to watch the fire**

:eek:

Why is everything so extremely blurry...? :huh:

... and is someone sitting in the chair over there...? :eyebrow:

**Realises that she can't see anything because her glasses have been taken off**

**Starts to search the table with both hands**

:rant: ... Why am I blind like a mole... :rant: ... and where the :censored: are my glasses...? :grumpy:

Well, I guess that answers that question. You're vision is pretty bad isn't it? I wear contacts. How are you this morning?

Sings "A mole
Digging in a hole
Digging up my soul now
Going down, excavation"

Hey, did you notice where everyone went? I think they all left to download the new album on Kazaa. :shame: To each is own, but I'm going to wait. I still haven't heard the new B-Side yet. I expect the packages (Vertigo singles) to arrive on Monday or Tuesday.

Notice something looking like a hand reaching out with a pair of glasses...

**Takes the glasses and puts them on**

That's better...

Tim!!! :happy: I couldn't see that it was you! Sorry 'bout the ranting... :reject:

To be honest... my vision is very bad... and it keeps getting worse - I need to change to stronger lenses once a year... :tsk:

... and I can't wear contacts on a daily basis 'cause they can't really correct my great astigmatism and my eyes get easily irritated... I can only use contacts when I'm skiing... :shrug:


Morning?! :laugh: I actually skipped 'morning' today... It's afternoon here now... I'm still a little :crack: after going out - we went to Foley's... an Irish pub... and they played U2 all the time we were there! :hyper: -

... but other than beeing a little :crack: I'm really fine... Trying to clean my appartment actually! :yes:

How has your day been so far?!

I don't like Kazaa... :tsk: ...but I did download "Are you gonna wait forever" when someone uploaded it in PLEBA... :reject: ... I've actually downloaded everything HTDAAB I could get my hands on... :eek:

Monday!!! :dance: :hyper: :drool:

I'm going to my record dealer as soon as my classes at uni ends... Someone actually asked me if we could meet monday evening and someone else if I could hang out on monday the 22nd - and my answers both times:

"NO! I already have a appointment with four Irish guys! :D "

:lol:

Do you like it? I've heard that it's rock & roll. I'm looking forward to it, but I have this strange sense of patience right now. I don't know why :shrug:

I like it... :D

It sounds a little like: "Lady with the spinning head" meets ATYCLB-outtake... :yes:

... but from what I've heard from HTDAAB, it doesn't fit in with the other tracks on album, which is probably why it ended up as a b-side...

... I like "Are you gonna wait forever"...

...but so far I'm hopelessly in love with all the album tracks from HTDAAB!!! :love: :drool: :dance: :hyper:

:sad: I'm sorry about your eyes changing. I have an astigmatism too, but my vision has been the same for over 6 years, for which I'm grateful. I just started wearing contacts full time about 2 years ago. They finally found some that don't irritate my eyes much and I forget that they are even in. :D

Morning?! :laugh: I actually skipped 'morning' today... It's afternoon here now... I'm still a little :crack: after going out - we went to Foley's... an Irish pub... and they played U2 all the time we were there!

How has your day been so far?! [/B]

My day is just getting started. I'm balancing the checkbook, reading the news, drinking coffee and listening to U2 play live in Tacoma, WA in 1992. Streets is on right now :dance:

I probably need to cleanup around here too. I turned the heat on for the first time this year. It was at about 55 degrees farenheit and I had a coat on, but since my nieces and nephews are coming over later, I figured that I would go ahead make it warm for them.

I'm still tired from staying up all week flirting with the girls here :wink: and generally trying to get some things done with the website in preparation for the new album.

I really do need to get up and do something more productive physically and not just virtually. I have a little more coffee left, so I can linger just a bit longer... Oh, btw :hug: New album soon!
 
Don't be sorry! :hug: It's been like that for the past... 15 years :shrug:

I hope that some day they invent contacts that could correct my bad vision and astigmatism perfectly, but so far they're only used for skiing 'cause I can't waer glasses underneath my goggles and... well, I don't have to see small details or read when I'm out there... moving in mysterious ways... :sexywink:

... or maybe... sometime... when I have a lot of money... I could get an operation - like Adam! :yes: If you notice his with Popmart glasses - they have some very strong lenses!

(Have seen too many pic in PLEBA! :reject: )




Enjoy your day!!! :happy:

...I'm off to wash the floor now... to the tones of ISHFWILF from Glasgow '87... I have a weakness for the JT-era... :drool:

I'll catch you later... for a dance...? :flirt:

:kiss: & :hug:
