Time for Funny Girl, Polished Nails ... and Music

I did my own nails this evening. Mom is back in hospital. So, why not do my nails (OK fingers, actually -- been a long time since I did my own nails).


I wrote a pal the following -- and had to laugh:


Hi, I will work for you; my name is Sebastian and I am really fantastic — but I may need to leave in a week to see my family — my Mom is sick: and by the way, I am looking for a real match, so should I work for you, do not be that surprised if I leave in three months, or end our contract abruptly.  I have no time for your shit.  But I can produce great work in a week.  The fee: $5,000 (40 hours @ $125 an hour).  Listen to me, and that will turn into $25,000 + within three months.

Funny
Did you hear that

Funny
Yeah, the guy said honey

You're a funny girl
That's me I just keep them
In stitches doubled in half
And though I may be all wrong for the guy
I'm good for a laugh
I guess it's not funny
Life is far from sunny
When the laugh is over
And the jokes on you
A girl ought to have a sense of humor
That's one thing you really need for sure
When you're a funny girl
A fellow said a funny girl
Funny, how it ain't so funny
Funny girl...
