Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows everywhere

With my new found positive outlook on life (or at least a reasonable facsimile) I have nothing but fantastically good and sunny news to report.

Before that, though, that song lyric in the title is always what I sarcastically sing when I want to communicate happiness to someone. The thing is, those are exactly the sum total of the words of the song that I actually know. I don’t know even how the rest of the tune goes, where I heard it in the first place, or why I even know what little I do. I have a glimmering of a feeling that I got it off of an old Simpsons episode but I have yet to come across it in the seasons 1-6 DVD’s I have (yes, I have all of the currently available Simpsons DVD’s, making me a huge, huge dork).

So, thanks to the good people at Google I’ve learned that uber-hottie Lesley Gore is responsible for this particular bit of addiction. And, thanks to the crack-dealers at iTunes, I’ve been able to download Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows so that I can listen to it in its entirety

Why the hell did I do that?

It’s an interesting little game you play with yourself with iTunes. “It’s only $0.99… why the hell not?!” you think to yourself, or sometimes out loud. I’ll tell you why not, because you just downloaded Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows you jackass.

Oh, and the good news: “They” have finally begun work on my fire-bombed apartment. The kitchen is ripped down completely to the studs (which means that everything that goes in there will be brand new), and I will have a temporary apartment on the same property to move into hopefully by this weekend (affording me the opportunity to finally get out of my friends’ house, which I’ve been crashing at for almost 2 months).

Granted, I don’t intend to move a lot of stuff into this temporary space, and I will most likely literally have only a bed and maybe a lamp of some kind, but at least I have a space to throw wild drug-parties in again.

Probably the best blonde joke I've ever heard
