Does it really need a title?

Things are hectic today, but I I thought I would share something weird that happened. I had a message on my voice-mail earlier. No one spoke, the entire message was a song. That was it, just a song playing. Very strange indeed. I think it was a Hall & Oates song, "Kiss on My List". I know I haven't kissed anyone lately. Who even listens to them anymore? I'm a detective, it shouldn't be too hard to figure out where it came from. I'll have more time later to work on it. Got to go now.

Screwball in the corner pocket

I had given up on Logan and decided to go out alone. I don't really enjoy doing that, but I needed a night of fun and there was always the possibility of meeting someone.
As I walked out the door I noticed Logan. He had his arms crossed and was patting his foot impatiently. Then he had the nerve to tap his watch. "Why do you always do that?" He put on his innocent little boy look and actually asked what I was talking about, like he didn't know.
Anyway on to the drink and pool. I know Logan is always willing to try about any kind of drink so it didn't take much to convince him to order a Tazmanian Devil. (Ingredients and how to mix it are listed in the post below.) I tasted it and didn't care for it. I don't usually drink very much though. I guess he liked it because he ordered 3 more. He gets goofy when he drinks, in case any of you didn't know that. When he attempted a Taz impression, I laughed so hard I cried. "You are such a dork." Of course, he didn't hear me. He was too busy trying to spin around fast enough to break through a wall.
We played several games of 9-ball. We would've played cutthroat, but after his theatrics, we couldn't get a third player. Go figure.
All in all it was a very good night. We talked while I was beating him we played. Nothing too serious, just small talk. He even almost apologized for the state of my desk. Okay, what he said was: "Hell Caro, it COULD'VE been worse!".
Oh and I "accidentally" bumped the table and messed up one of his shots. :) That'll teach him to call me a stupid *girl*. He just THOUGHT I didn't notice that remark. Since I'm on the subject-I was NOT playing footsies with anyone. I was simply checking the quality of his shoes in case I decide to get a pair for my cousin. *grin*
Well, that was my evening out with Logan. So what did I learn? Logan + Taz drink= Goofy & easily beatable in pool. Goofy Logan + not winning a game= BIG WHINER!!

Been busy

That is why I have not posted in a couple of days. Not much time now either, just wanted to put up a quick note so you would know I am still around. I promise to tell you all about my night out playing pool. Below I have listed the ingredients and how to make a Tazmanian Devil drink. This should give some indication of how the night out was.
More later...

I got this from:Drinknation.com

Finally!!

I got my computer fixed!!! It is about time!! Depending on others to let me use theirs is for the birds! New rule in my house=No drinks anywhere near the computer! Which is directed at me, since I'm the only one that is ever in here!
Side note relevant to nothing: White Cheddar flavored Pringles are REALLY good. Try them if you haven't already.
I'm playing a game of "avoiding my thoughts" right now. I am probably going out this evening. No not a hot date or anything like that. I just feel like doing something. I asked Logan if he was up for a few games of pool tonight, but being the Prince of Procrastination that he is, he'll probably just show up and act surprised that I'm not ready to go.
Somedays everything just comes flying at you at the same time. Whoa, I really am a whiner, aren't I?
Guess I'll go see if there is a ballgame on. Oh speaking of, any baseball fans out there? Favorite teams? I think Marty likes the Orioles. Not my first choice, but they are a fine team. I liked them back when Eddie Murray played.
I certainly go on and on about nothing, don't I?
Hope everyone has a nice day/afternoon/evening/night! (I think that should cover all the time zone differences)

Oh, I forgot...

...to show you this:




It is a magnet and it was on my desk today. That is about what I act like before I get my coffee too. Oh and I want to say for the record-I like Stabler's coffee.

Sad but true

I found this poem when working a case a few years ago. I happened upon it again, so I thought I would share it with everyone.

My Name: "Is Meth"
Author: Unknown

I destroy homes, I tear families apart, take your children, and that's just the start.

I'm more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold,
The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.

If you need me, remember I'm easily found,
I live all around you - in schools and in town.

I live with the rich; I live with the poor,
I live down the street, and maybe next door.

I'm made in a lab, but not like you think,
I can be made&n bsp;under the kitchen sink.
In your child's closet, and even in the woods,
If this scares you to death, well it certainly should.

I have many names, but there's one you know best,
I'm sure you've heard of me, my name is crystal meth.

My power is awesome; try me you'll see,
But if you do, you may never break free.

Just try me once and I might let you go,
But try me twice, and I'll own your soul.

When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie,
You do what you have to -- just to get high.

The crimes you'll commit for my narcotic charms
Will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms,
your lungs your nose.

You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal from your dad,
When you see their tears, you should feel sad.

But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised,
I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways.

I take kids from parents, and parents from kids,
I turn people from God, and separate friends.

I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride,
I'll be with you always -- right by your side.

You'll give up everything - your family, your home,
Your friends, your money, then you'll be alone.

I'll take and take, till you have nothing more to give,
When I'm finished with you, you'll be lucky to live.

If you try me be warned - this is no game,
If given the chance, I'll drive you insane.

I'll ravish your body, I'll control your mind,
I'll own you completely, your soul will be mine.

The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed,
The voices you'll hear, from inside your head.

The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see,
I want you to know, these are all gifts from me.

But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart,
That you are mine, and we shall not part.

You'll regret that you tried me, they always do,
But you came to me, not I to you.

You knew this would happen, many times you were told,
But you challenged my power, and chose to be bold.

You could have said no, and just walked away,
If you could live that day over, now what would you say?

I'll be your master, you will be my slave,
I'll even go with you, when you go to your grave.

Now that you have met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It's all up to you.

I can bring you more misery than words can tell,
Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell.

Let's see now...

D&D is set in a fantasy world... Well that is kind of obvious.
Swords instead of guns...horses instead of cars... Ok makes sense. Speaking of swords, I wonder how big Stabler's "big-ass sword" really is.
Daggers, quarterstaff??
Chain mail? Is that like a letter asking you to make 100 copies & mail them to your friends?
Leather armor... Sounds kinky, explains Logan's interest.
Darkblade...Thaddeus...Niles Wasn't he Frasier Crane's brother?
I wonder who the Dungeon Master is when they play?
Scriptorium??
I don't think I will ever understand this. Oh well, I guess I won't be able to join their game afterall. I was kind of looking forward to hanging with the GEEK Squad da boyz.

In other news:
1. I was able to confirm the stains the big bad dork Logan left on my desk were in fact all food. Yes, I did have it tested for biological material. And IIIIII donnnnn't whiiiiiiine, take it baaaack or III'mmm telllling...
2. Harper is a neat guy. (Does that sound dorky?) If you haven't met him you really should. Little tip though, do NOT take him any red jello and more importantly: NEVER say anything negative about The Great Bearded One.
3. Stabler is a lot less high strung than I thought. Uh, no offense intended there Elliot, but you know you can be kind of intimidating.
4. Olivia has a cute picture of the baby up.

I think that covers everything for now. Guess I better get back to learning what these weird looking dice are used for.

Things to do today

1. Laundry.
2. Work in garden.
3. Destroy all red jello.
4. Watch rerun of Walker Texas Ranger.
5. Ignore constant phone calls from Logan.
6. Think of new ways to annoy Logan.
7. Send email reminder to Logan about the stains he left on my desk.
8. Read book about D&D.

Busy day today.

Maybe I'm the problem

Normally I don't waste my time with these silly little quizzes, but in light of my recent dating fiasco, I thought I would give it a shot. The results? Not so encouraging.

You Are A Bad Date!

Sometimes it just seems like your heart isn't in it At least, not unless the guy is a dead ringer for Brad Pitt (with more money) You just don't spend enough time wondering if he's having fun... And newsflash - he probably isn't!

Are You a Good Date?

You Don't Have a Boyfriend Because You are Too Shy

When a guy gets to know you, he finds a great catch Problem is... you're too shy for most guys to get to know. From meeting someone to dating, you usually have your guard up. And while you're just holding back, it makes you seem like you've got something to hide.

Why Don't You Have a Boyfriend?

Weird

When I got home last night, I found I had a gift:




The card said: "Ready for a wyld time?". It was not signed. Should I be concerned?
