I'd Like My Dishwasher To Look Like Miss January

Financial windfalls are rapidly followed by financial emergencies.

In other news, I have to replace my dishwasher. Anyone know a good plumber? Maybe I'll get them to replace the kitchen faucet while they're here.

Off to Futureshop to pick up a dishwasher at lunch. Whee!

Themed Lyrics Quiz.

Can you guess the theme? Ten different songs:

Back in the back of a Cadillac
Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack
Yes, I'm in a bang with a gang
They've got to catch me if they want me to hang
Back in Black - AC/DC (Guessed by thebrucie)

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark shiny and black
Open up your engines let `em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur
Cadillac Ranch - Bruce Springsteen (Guessed by zera82)

In the back of my Cadillac
A wicked lady, sittin' by my side, sayin' "Where are we?"
Stop at Third and Forty-Three, exit to the night
It's gonna be ecstacy, this place was meant for me
New York Groove - Ace Frehley (Guessed by thebrucie)

Turn on the radio and cruise on down the avenue
Yeah, turn on the radio and cruise on down the avenue
She’s crazy about my caddy
and I'm crazy for my baby too
Cadillac Baby - Colin James (Guessed by thebrucie)

Playin for a week in Rhode Island
A man came to the stage one night
He smoked a big cigar
Drove a Cadillac car
And said, boys, I think this bands outta-sight
Rock and Roll Band - Boston (Guessed by thebrucie)

Baby, baby drove up in a Cadillac
I said, jesus christ! whered you get that Cadillac?
She said, balls to you, daddy.
She aint never coming back!


Would you like a Cadillac car
or a guest spot on Jack Parr?
How about a date with Hedy Lamarr?
You gonna get it if you want it baby.
Feed Me (Git It) - Little Shop of Horrors (Guessed by wackynephews or wendy_licious)

Out on the road today
I saw a deadhead sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said,
Dont look back. You can never look back.
The Boys of Summer - Don Henley (Guessed by ersatz_marduk)

Sergeant O'Leary is walkin the beat
At night he becomes a bartender
He works at Mister Cacciatores
Down on Sullivan Street
Across from the medical center
And he's tradin in his Chevy for a Cadillac
Movin' Out - Billy Joel (Guessed by ersatz_marduk)

You know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna get myself a 1967 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, hot pink, with whale skin hubcaps and all leather cow interior and big brown baby seal eyes for headlights. Yeah! And I'm gonna drive around in that baby at 115 miles an hour, getting 1 mile per gallon, sucking down quarter pounder cheeseburgers from McDonald's in the old-fashioned non- biodegradable Styrofoam containers! And when I'm done suckin' down those grease ball burgers I'm gonna wipe my mouth on the American flag and then toss the Styrofoam containers right out the side, and there ain't a God-damned thing anybody can do about it. You know why? Because we got the bombs, that's why!
Asshole - Dennis Leary (Guessed by ersatz_marduk)

Odds and Ends

• Lost four pounds at weigh-in yesterday. That's a damn good start. Apparently following the program like you're supposed to actually works! Who knew?
  
• Shopping around for dishwashers. I'd have probably bought one over lunch, but the FS salespeople were busy and couldn't answer my questions. I'll try again after work tonight.
  
• Silverwolf archery being at 2pm Saturday, I think I'll go. I'll aim to get there around noon, which should give me a chance to pitch my tent, get changed into garb, and shoot a few practice ends. Afterwards, there will be drinking.
  
• I'm debating going for my Sunday run in Warburg. Probably I'll just do it in the afternoon when I get back to Cowtown.
  
• The Saturday after that (that is, June 20th), I'll be holding a garage sale. Come buy my junk buried treasure.
  
• I got my bonus from work, so I'll be setting aside a chunk of that for Estrella/Vegas/Cuba. I'm still hoping someone will join me in Cuba.
  
• Still waiting on the crossbars for the car. Hopefully I can get everything installed prior to T&A War/Vancouver, which is the two weekends (T&A war: June 26-28. Vancouver: June 29-July 5) after the garage sale.
  
• Next week is my penultimate meeting as deputy seneschal. Last I checked we have only the one applicant. On the bright side, he's pretty good.
