"My Baby Loves A Bunch of Authors" by Moxy Fruvous
Well you should see my story-reading baby, you
should hear things that she says
She says "Hon, drop dead, I'd rather go to
bed with Gabriel Garcia Marquez"
Cuddle up with William S. Burroughs, leave on the light for bell hooks
I been flirtin' with Pierre Burton 'cause he's so smart in his books
I like to go out dancing
My baby loves a bunch of authors
My heart's so broke and bleedin'
Baby's just sittin' there doin' some readin'
So I started watching some TV, played my new CD player too
She said "Turn it off or I'll call the cops,
and I'll throw the book at you"
All this arguing made me get dizzy, called
my doctor to came have a look
I said "Doctor, hurry!" She said: "Don't
worry, I'll be over when I finish
my book"
I like to go out dancing
My baby loves a bunch of authors
We've been livin' in hovels
Spendin' all our money on brand new novels
So I got myself on the streetcar and it drove right into someone
The driver said: "I was looking straight ahead!" but he was reading the
Toronto Sun
So my honey and me go to a counsellor to help figure out what we need
She said: "We'll get your love growin', but
before we get goin' here's some
books I'd like you to read"
I like to go out dancing
My baby loves a bunch of authors
Lately we've had some friction
'Cause my baby's hooked on short works of fiction
So we split and went to a party, some friends my girl said she knew
But what a sight 'cause it's authors night and
the place looks like a who's who
Now I'm poundin' the Ouzo - with Mario Puzo
Who's a funny fella? - W.P. Kinsella
Who brought the cat? - would Margaret Atwood?
Who needs a shave? - he's Robertson Davies!
Ondartje started a food fight, salmon mousse all over the scene
Spilled some dressing on Doris Lessing these writer types are a scream!
I like to go out dancing
My baby loves a bunch of authors
We'll be together for ages
Eatin' and sleepin' and turnin' pages
This came from Taste Of Home's Cooking for 2 magazine. It's really good, reheats well, and goes together quickly. I usually double the peppers and mushrooms in it and have added a small finely diced onion to the mix. Enjoy!

How do you stay in shape?
I've spent the last two weeks slowly demolishing a carrot cake with cream cheese icing. Top that off with chips & dip, egg rolls several times a week, and a couple of pints of Haagen Dazs. Add some misc. fried food, and there you are.
What? Round is a shape. Besides, you have to try this---it's awesomely good!
AKA the film crew my brilliant talented niece is part of. (Yes, I'm a proud aunt) These are two of their works:
What was the last concert you attended?
The last concert I went to was one of the free shows during the last Kentucky State Fair. I went to see Saliva and they totally kicked ass. I did spend half the show wondering what possessed Josey Scott to wear manpris and what looked like bowling shoes. Not the best fashion statement.
Alice Cooper was the show I went to a few days before that. Also a kick ass show, despite the fact that I wound up in the chain-smokng drunken redneck section.
And a week before those, I drove up to Covington KY (near Cincinnati) to see Toby Lightman & Marc Broussard. THAT was a show well worth the drive! I had never heard Toby's music before, but she was awesome- such a big voice from such a little body- and just as sweet as she could be when I got to meet her after her set. Marc Broussard is one of those rare artists who sounds just as good live as he does on record....possibly better. (is it just me or do a lot of acts sound AWFUL live these days?)
