Yesterday, I bid farewell to my car, which rolled away on a truck headed for the garage of two nice young boys who pooled their paper route money to buy it from me on Craigslist. (This may or may not be where they got their money, but they were so young and cheek-pinchable, it's the story I'm going to tell.)
Bye, Bean.

I saw The English Beat and Squeeze in concert on Wednesday night with BLC, Amy and Dano. I enjoyed both bands, but definitely liked Squeeze more. I was also a little bit distracted by BLC, who leaned over and whisper-screamed "HOW ABOUT THIS ONE? DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS ONE?" every single time they struck up a new song. He was having some issues with the fact that I couldn't name a single song by either band before I arrived. And answering with "OH SO THIS ISN'T JUST A COMMERCIAL?" didn't help the situation.
Luckily, he didn't hear the following convo during "Tenderness", because it probably would have put him into full cardiac arrest.
Jane: Wow, this is their song? I would have known who they were if this song had been listed in their singles on Wikipedia.
Dano: Maybe it wasn't a big hit.
Jane: I know all the words!
Dano: That's because it's in every movie. It is the default song for the going on a first date fashion show dressing room montage.
Jane: OHHH! So that's why I have the urge to take this dress off, put on a different dress, and spin around in a circle.
Dano: Yeah, that's why.
So then Squeeze took the stage, and so did the most enormous bra I've ever seen in my life, so enormous that the guitar player at whom it was thrown looked absolutely terrified and sort of ran from it. And then the keyboardist did an iPad solo. No, really. I weep.

I have a whole lot of nothing on my schedule this weekend. I'm looking forward to it.

This week, years past:
2009: It only seems appropriate that this week's flashback would be the most disgusting conversation I've ever had with BLC.
2008: I caught up on some reading.
2007: Wedding fashion, featuring a naked lady mudflap belt buckle
