.: Birthday Week 2008 :.

I can't keep up anymore. 35 is making me slower. And more meditative.

Saturday - KARAOKE! I think that says enough. No wait. Did me some Deth Metal Disney.

Sunday - Fam time. Alot of food. Getting plants for my sister's garden, I run into my old bartender. He's happier so that's good to hear and hopefully he'll visit me at Fizz again.

Monday - Day before actually birthday. Worked for 10 hours at my new jobber. Temp promo work but pays very well. Then to Fizz! It was way fun but not as fun as its been with Anne-girl in town. Had a drink with my bartender. I'm really going to miss him.

Tuesday - Actual birthday. Didn't do a damn thing. Called up some folks that wished me happy birthday. It was nice just catching up. Tried to keep up with the well-wishes from ppl on facebook...

Wednesday - More promo work and more doing nothing. It was raining. I wanted to hole up at home instead of going out to Green Dolphin Street.

Thursday - All me day! Went to see Lookingglass Alice again. Whee! Love It! Then I treated myself to Grand Lux Cafe. Unfortunately all in the rain. But I did happen to have another umbrella in my bag. Accidentally brought one and I saw this woman walking up the street from me, soaked. So I walked up to her and gave her my extra umbrella. yes, me day.

Friday - mostly home things. Mostly in front of the TV working on the art project for Drew's. Felt good doing some art. Then another promo gig where I totally got lost. But I got lost while driving a convertible roadster so that was fuuun.

Saturday - Lechon at sister's new place. I love the new kitchen so it was nice to help out with some cooking before the party. Nice spending more time with extended family and catching up with old friends. I unfortunately had to leave early b/c of another promo gig...

Not a incredibly festive week but it was nice spending it primarily alone. Someone pointed out to me that I'm very solitary on the major holidays... dunno why.

.: Oh! Karaoke :.

I've heard this song several times on the loop at work... and each time I can see Hot Andy on his knees wailing this song while karaoke-ing at Holiday Club. I hearts guys that lip sync their lovin'. (I'm looking at you, Maverick from Top Gun... You've lost that loving feeling...)

Oh! Darling - The Beatles

Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm

Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I thank you, ooo
Don't ever leave me alone

When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died

Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm
Believe me darling

When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and cried
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore
Well you know I nearly broke down and died

Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never let you down
Oh, believe me darling
Believe me when I tell you, ooo
I'll never do you no harm

Lunar Eclipse Noisy

You know I'm not entirely true about the total, complete eclipse of the moon. But it was beautiful...

And this reminds me of my sister's Karaoke Birthday Partay. I did my first number one favourite karaoke song:

Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler
(Turn around)
Every now and then, I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
(Turn around)
Every now and then, I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
(Turn around)
Every now and then, I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
(Turn around)
Every now and then, I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then, I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then, I fall apart

(Turn around)
Every now and then, I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild
(Turn around)
Every now and then, I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms
(Turn around)
Every now and then, I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry
(Turn around)
Every now and then, I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then, I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then, I fall apart

And I need you now tonight and I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight, we'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right 'cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time, I was falling in love
But now, I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time, there was light in my life
But now, there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

(Turn around, bright eyes)
(Turn around, bright eyes)

(Turn around)
Every now and then, I know you'll never be the boy you always wanted to be
(Turn around)
Every now and then, I know you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
(Turn around)
Every now and then, I know there's no one in the universe as magical and wonderous as you
(Turn around)
Every now and then, I know there's nothing any better and there's nothing that I just wouldn't do
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then, I fall apart
(Turn around, bright eyes)
Every now and then, I fall apart

And I need you now tonight and I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight, we'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right 'cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time, I was falling in love
But now, I'm only falling apart
Nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time, there was light in my life
But now, there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart
A total eclipse of the heart

(Turn around, bright eyes)
