Lame-O update
This is just a lame-o update.
I am now the supervisor of the cafe at work. It's like a promotion. I mean, I get a dollar fifty raise anyway, and it looks nice on paper when I need to get another job. "Cafe Supervisor." I no longer work for the man. I AM the man. Except, there's always another man, or many other men, and you are always working for them. So I remain a tool. Psh. (actually it's not that bad.)
I am still playing video games, and still very much enjoying it, but I've thrown the book "Treasure Island" into the mix, and that, my peeps, is one awesomely sweetified book. I recommend it for all your adventuring needs (I'll vaguely review it when I'm done.)
I have decided to make an entire CD full of short (around 2 minutes)songs about food. If you've heard the Breakfast song of the Taco song, you will have an idea what I'm up to. And man, it's going fast! When your goal is short and your lyrics are mindless and you can rip off that crappy guitar solo in one take, you can record a song an evening! So far I've got six songs (counting "Breakfast" and "My Taco Lives Again") and I just started the other day. Titles so far include, "Suzy was a Vegeterian," "Lady Sandwich," and "The End of Breakfast." This CD is going to be so bad; I will try for at least 30 songs.
Um, that is all for now.

Remember, that Cafe Supervisor goes next to "assistant Manager" for the Roast and House of Beans. You're on the road to middle management for sure.
What are you talking about? I am middle management now. The managers at the store refer to all the people who work in the cafe as my staff, and they keep telling me to make them do stupid things. mmmyep.
I like your idea of a short-songed food CD. I am ready to dish out the big bucks (or at least whine on the phone to you) in order to get a copy when you finish.
I, too, was thinking along the short-song lines and proposing to myself that once my house is powered and livable, I should try to do one song a night, for an entire month, as a sort of getting-back-into-music exercise. No matter how crappy the songs turn out, I must do one a night.
Of course, since my house will never be finished, this is all just fantasy. Go food songs!

here are some foodsong lyrics for you:
kitty eats these little things
they are not shaped like donuts
and when i fill her little bowl
she rushes in to eat them.
i think that kitty wants to go
to eat some little rodents
but she is not allowed to leave
"there is no justice, kitty"

Have you considered a song about Marshmallow Peeps? And the horrible things you can subject them to?
Also, you should make one of the songs be "I want to be a Muffin" so I can use it as the theme song for the Muffin Story Movie that I will never make.
Crap, I want in again on this comment train.
How about a song about the death of the Calorie Sodas? I mean, it won't be long before all Sodas are calorie-less. What will our bodies use to fuel us through long nights of videogames and useless conversations???

Well gosh, I will do my best to fill all of these orders. I mean, a minute and a half rock song doesn't have room for a lot of lyrics, so I can handle four lines on any subject and then do a guitar solo. Word.
