**Rug Burn** ya bastard. I just got caught by a female workmate looking at Tiffany home page. She’ll never let me hear the end fo this. There’ll be a departmental mail ripping the piss out of me within the hour.

I think I may have to resign 😉

I own Dude, Where’s My Car? **and** “Bring It On” on DVD. Plus I just bought “Deep Blue Sea” and am seriously considering purchasing “Sugar and Spice.”

I feel like a great weight has been lifted.

Thought of another (I knew there were more)

I actually like that one Celine Dion song… The one Jim Steinman wrote, **but** , I just really dig Steinman’s songwriting. I bought the **Streets of Fire** soundtrack for the same reason.

I loved Steve! And Mr and Mrs. Salt and Pepper, and mail time…

Sorry Auntie Em, I missed your two words before I posted mine.

Bugger confession being good for the soul. I only gave myself a case of the willies and now I can’t get “One Tin Soldier Rides Away” out of my head.

I think Neil Sedaka is criminally unrespected. I mean, c’mon, he was multi-tracking his songs in the 1950s! The man is brilliant.
