Better be good to Barney!

iDog is back! But he's insisting on a name.

iDog: No, I'm not.

I think I should name him Barney.

iDog: Do you really hate me that much?

When I was growing up we had a dog named Barney. I miss Barney.

Barney: Fabulous.

So, Barney, what are we listening to today?

Barney: I'm afraid to find out.

First song up: Abracadabra, Steve Miller Band

Barney: What exactly is this song about? A magician who molests people? "First I will pull this rabbit out of my hat! Then for my second trick, I'll grab your boob. Where are you going? Don't you want to touch my wand?"

I Honestly Love You, Olivia Newton-John.

Barney: I honestly hate my life.

When I Call Your Name, Vince Gill.

Barney: Please don't call my name. It's embarrassing. My owner has issues.

Cha Cha Slide, Mr. C

Barney: Don't dance. I'm serious. You're going to hurt something.

Take It Easy On Me, Little River Band.

Barney: Good advice. I wish you'd follow it.

What You Give, Tesla

Barney: Good song. Hey, what are you doing? Stop that! Stop swaying right now! You have no rhythm, do you? Okay, I'll wait. Can you turn me around first? I'm scared.

Don't Let It End, Styx.

Barney: Oh please, PLEASE let it end. Have we heard anything from this century?

She Knows When You're On, George Strait.

Barney: Don't I know it! And I keep trying to play dead, too.

American Honkey-Tonk Bar Association, Garth Brooks

Barney: You really are a redneck, aren't you?

Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen.

Barney: Wow, from Garth Brooks to Queen. That was a smooth transition.

Help Is On It's Way, Little River Band.

Barney: Don't tease me like that!

Better Be Good To Me, Tina Turner

Barney: Amen, sister!

Youth Gone Wild, Skid Row.

Barney: Are you head-banging? You really are a confused child. The 90's are gone. So is your Aqua Net. Get over it.

Lonesome Loser, Little River Band.

Barney: Have I heard about the Lonesome Loser?!? Hell, I'm looking at her!

Macho Man, The Village People.

Barney: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! I'm dying. Call 911. Call The Little River Band!

Fake It, Seether.

Barney: By the way, you remember when I was moving my head like I enjoyed your music? I was faking it. I'm sorry.

Live Those Songs, Kenny Chesney

Barney: Are you serious? If I lived these songs, I'd be a perverted magician in a Indian suit crying because I'm such a lonesome loser.

Need I Say More, George Strait.

Barney: No, I really don't.

Okay, that's enough from Barney, my iPod dog. He seems a little grouchy tonight.

Barney: Bite me.

Until next time!

Arf! Arf!

(This was supposed to be a "real" picture of my iDog, but my camera is a piece of %*$#...)

Today my iDog will be blogging his opinions on a random selection of my songs in the order they are shuffled. Warning: I have no control over his language or comments. Opinions do not necessarily reflect those of the blog owner.

It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing, Shania Twain.

Seriously? I left Target for this? Do you have my receipt? I can't even breath, and this is hurting me.

How Am I Supposed to Live Without You, Michael Bolton

If I could, I'd rip my batteries out myself.

Patience, Guns & Roses

This is a good song, so of course you're going to skip it. Yep, there you go. Maybe you should take lessons from this song. The whistling part isn't that long.

I Can't Stop Loving You, Conway Twitty

I've been meaning to talk to you about all this Twitty. I'm supposed to be this trendy little gadget and you have me grooving to Conway Twitty. Not cool at all.

Free Bird, Lynyrd Skynyrd

14 minutes for a song? I'll just excuse myself now. Do you have a newspaper?

Waiting on the World to Change, John Mayer.

Wait...wasn't this song made this century? How did this get on your iPod? Oh, you downloaded it for someone else? Figures.

SexyBack, Justin Timberlake.

Yeah, baby! I'm bringing sexy back to iDogs!

Heartlight, Neil Diamond

You ruined it. And we had such a good thing going!

She Hates Me, Puddle of Mudd

I think this all the time.

Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Cyndi Lauper

Oh please! As if this even remotely implies to you. You're blogging with your iDog!

Umm... Okay, I think that's enough for today. iDog needs to go to sleep now. Nighty-Night.

Happy Mom's Day!

I'm sitting here thinking about getting ready to go to my mother's, while my husband and son sleep away. It must be nice! J got me an iDog and an iTunes card for Mother's Day. iLove it! He knows me well.

My friend Robin got me to join Tagged. I guess it's another Myspace, Facebook site. Because I really needed another one! If you want to check it out, click here: Melly48

Oh, so don't forget my special guest!! She's scheduled for this Thursday. You won't want to miss this!! Seriously. I'm still doing a bit of a dance over here.

Pop Goes the Blog

I feel like I haven't really blogged about myself in awhile. Not that I'm very exciting. But the point of a blog is to talk about yourself...right? Okay, my definition of one is.

Tonight we went grocery shopping and I bought myself some real popcorn kernels and popped up my own tonight. Mmm... It brought back memories and tasted better than that dried up microwave popcorn. I love that sound of popcorn popping in a pot. There's even a deleted scene in Racing for the Shore where the hero is popping up some on the stove.

Did you like that? Deleted scene? Yes, I have deleted scenes.

In other news, I gave up on Virtual Villagers. I still check in on my villages (I had three!) and people are dying left and right. When I finally got one of the natives to have triplets, I knew I had done everything I could do.

But... I did download an hour long trial of the second game. Yeah, that wasn't good. I could see me getting addicted to that one as well. Good thing I don't have the money right now.

A good mindless game I've found to pass the time is Peggle. Where you shoot out balls (heh) and try to hit the orange pegs. (I swear they look red though). I found out that my Bejeweled included a free version of it. You can't unlock everything without buying it, but all I really need is the Quick Play anyway.

OMG. My blog is becoming all about computer games. What happened to me???

Must...prove...I...have...a...life.

Thursday night, we're going to the Bon Jovi concert in DC. Was that good?

But of course I ended up having to ask a coworker what people wear "these days" when they go out.

Is that sad? It is sad. I'm such a hermit. Especially in the winter. My mom says I hibernate. It's true. And I eat enough to feed a large bear as well. How else do you explain starting a blog with the subject of popcorn?

In writing news... Well, not much right now. I did open up my WIP (heh) the other day. Oh and when I was taking a nap on Sunday, I dreamed of a really good scene. And one day I'm going to type it up. I swear!

I have a office! I've always had a office but then my son took it over. Well, okay, I guess I kind of let him. After all, the couch was so much more comfy. But not a very productive setting for me. Then the other day my husband was renovating an office and brought home this huge desk set. It's nice! But takes up most of the office. It's three parts.

I'll have to take a picture of it...one day. That reminds me. I have a new camera. I have Photoshop. But I can't install any of the software on this computer. I have Windows 2000 and they only run on XP or Vista. How much does that suck? I know I have a XP disc around here somewhere, but for the life of me I can't find it. So now I just look at the Photoshop box, dreaming of the day I can make blackmail pictures of my coworkers.

OH! And the most wonderful present of them all! How did I not speak of this? I got one of those iPod thingies (technical term) that lets you play your iPod in your car, using your stereo. It's the best thing EVER. Now I can take my iPod everywhere with me!! And I don't have to listen to annoying commercials anymore. I love this thing! [Okay, I know, I did mention this. But I'm duplicating a blog entry from Myspace. This is what happens when I have more than one blog]

Hmm...just went back to being a geek again, didn't I?

Okay, I'll wrap this up now before I go so far I can't redeem myself.

I have balls to play with.

Did that sound wrong?
