I sit here by myself and you know I love it.

That's the first lyric of this song...It's missing here but since I couldn't find a video with the same sound quality, you'll have to just roll with it. For further listening instructions, read on.

So, last weekend, Dan told me that he was going to go away this weekend with his brother and nephew to upstate New York for a baseball tournament that his nephew is playing in.

Feeling that letting out a giant, "Hidy, hidy, hid, ho" might hurt his feelings, I was all, "That would be nice for you."

He wasn't fooled. "You're totally doing a happy dance inside right now aren't y---"

"Hell yeah, I am. I mean, that would be nice...hidy, hidy, hidy, ho."

The thought of having two and a half days to myself alone in New Hampshire (including Friday night when he was to leave) almost gave me the chills. It's not that I don't love the guy, but my gawd, what I would accomplish. I started having fantasies of all that I would do: unpack the suitcase that's been packed since going to Chatham (yes, at the start of this month), return every e-mail that I haven't gotten to, call someone other than the electric company, and the biggest dream, the Latin Lover equivalent of order-restoration fantasies: I was going to play music---really, really loudly---and clean my entire apartment---floors, closets, and all. I know this sounds sad. I don't care.

But it didn't happen. I ended up shooting down to Rhody for what was to be a day-visit and staying put. Whatta ya gonna do? I had good talks with GiG and there's no Latin Lover equivalent of that. (That sentence neither made sense nor made me particularly comfortable.)

Anyway, this was one of the songs I was planning to blast and bandanna up for. The video is terribly dubbed (though terribly fun) and it's really distracting, so for your first listen, just close your eyes and blast it. (Then desert your families and really enjoy it.) It makes me so happy. "Me, Myself, I"...did this blog just get even more narcissistic? God, I just outdid me. (And there I go again!)
