A - Z Music I Love, R is for Rilo Kiley

I saw Rilo Kiley perform this song on Craig Ferguson one night and said I need this album. What this album brought was my love affair with Jenny Lewis. Who knew an actress who did a few episodes of the Golden Girls, stared in the Wizard with Fred Savage, and was in Troop Beverly Hills with Shelly Long could write and sing songs that I would fall in love with.

Song of the Day 09/19/08 and a small update

It's a Hit, by Rilo Kiley

Any chimp can play human for a day.
Use his opposable thumbs to iron his uniform
and run for office on election day
fancy himself a real decision maker
and deploy more troops than salt in a shaker.



But it's a jungle when war is made,
and you'll panic and throw your own shit at the enemy.
The camera pulls back to reveal your true identity.
Look, it's a sheep in wolf's clothing.
A smoking gun holding ape.


So the dentist...The hygienist asked me as I griped onto the sides of the chair so hard my hands were white...Do you want to try this without the gas?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I looked at her and she said oh, it looks like you're in trouble already. Derek warned me that she would try to get out of using it. I don't think so! Otherwise, the cleaning went pretty fast and i don't have to go back for 6 months. Derek is so mad because he has to go back every three. I told him if he flossed and stopped drinking so much coffee, it might be six. He refuses to floss. bleck!

Today was kind of a hard day. I had a mini breakdown when I got home, but I feel tons better after I had a good cry and talked about it with Derek. Now I am going to listen to music and relax with my dog who is hitting me with her paw for attention right now.
