Song of the Day
"Upgrade U" by Beyonce.
Dawn Summers and I do this thing with song lyrics. We insert them into our conversations in the most matter-of-fact manner. She'll pick up the phone and I'll say "you can be my black Kate Moss tonight". She'll leave me a message, the entirety of which will be her saying "I ain't got 70 days."
Other popular ones with us are "I don't wanna get rich, leave you in the hood", "You got D's motherf***er, D's, Rosie Perez", "How can one Chandra be so Levy", "No you can't have my number, cause I lost my phone", "Kim, you need to leave him", "I ask, cause I'm not sure, do anybody make real sh*t anymore" and a bunch of others which require more cursing than I'm prepared to do on this blog.
The song we most quote, for some reason, is "Upgrade U" by Beyonce:
"partnuh, let me upgrade you"
"how ya gonna upgrade me, what's higher than #1"
"Switch your necktie to purple label"
"I can do for you what Martin did for the people"
and, our favorite, "now look at the time I saved you."
Dawn is going through some weird life transition phase right now which prohibits her from spending 12 hours a day on the phone with me while we surf the internet together. And I guess it's a function of missing her that I woke up with this song on my mind, turning it into my song of the day.
You can see the video and hear the song here. It's not entirely safe for work as it features Beyonce looking super hot in water, in the trunk of a Bentley and rolling around on the floor. On the plus side, it features Beyonce looking super hot in water, in the trunk of a Bentley and rolling around on the floor.

The phase where she can't spend 12 hours a day on the phone internet surfing with you is now? That explains a lot about how this phase got started.

Don't worry, I am sure she gave up surfing with you 12hrs a 24hday for Lent. That, I can understand since you are one of the bestest things that ever happen to her. However, like Charles said, giving up her 9to5 Job, Poker and You for Lent in a same year? I don't get that. It's like she is giving up 40 days in her life.
I have a new quote for you.
"Hustler, that's if you're still living, Get on down"

Oh youngster, that's borrowed from Slick Rick...in the 80's...before you were born. ;-)

You mean the time when people used to tape their songs on a radio cassette recorder? right? I've heard so much about that time period.

bahahahha advantage, KJ I myself do not remember cassette recorders. My earliest memories date back toward the CD.
