My sister and I have been on a ridiculous Abba kick. This happens every five years or so. The last time was when we took a road trip to Lake Tahoe with my parents circa 2003. We thought it would be funny and retro to play the Abba Gold album the entire four hours we were in the car, but the other members of our family quickly vetoed that. Haters! Anyway, this time around, my sister randomly heard the hidden gem, "Head Over Heels" on Pandora, and after promptly You Tubing the video (see below), we were back in Abba-OCD mode. Be on the lookout for Agnetha and Anni-Frid Halloween costumes later this year (with a cameo by my brother-in-law as Benny and my blonder nephew as Bjorn).
I will now take the time to acknowledge that yes, I did in fact turn 24 this week. There was no elaborate parade or gala held in my honor, but my family did show me a pretty good time at Fisherman's Wharf. The massive anxiety I woke up with couldn't be cured by thoroughly cleaning the house or forcing myself through a power yoga DVD, but it sure was helped by the massive amount of sake I drank at lunch. Let it be known that just because a restaurant doesn't possess a liquor license does not mean you can't get a good buzz going at 2 in the afternoon on a Sunday. After lunch, we all headed over to the relocated Mechanical Museum where my tipsy ass schooled my dad at arcade basketball, and my sister, mom and I messed up 2 of our 4 photobooth shots. All in all, a good birthday.
I should apologize to the two (TWO!! More than one! And neither is related to me!!) readers who were irate about my lack of posts. Go figure, but I've had so much, what do you call it...work to do. I've hardly even had the time to check up on Perez or Dlisted to make sure Britney hasn't blown anything up. Has she? Anyone know? I do know that Aaron Carter was arrested, so that either means it's a ridiculously slow week in celebrity news, or I somehow missed the story about Lindsey /Mary-Kate/Paris getting married/getting knocked up/going to rehab. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Alright friends, back to work I go. Hopefully I will have a new cab driver of the week to crown after this weekend, and more interesting things to ramble on about than a '70s Swedish pop group. Okay, how dare I - I totally take that back. Please watch the video below and have a Friday as fabulous as Frida's gold lamé coat.

how dare you??? something more interesting than Benny and Bjorn? i mean really - your punishment will be listening to the lesser favorite "Fernando" on repeat... though all in all, you really gotta love that song too.
I don't know why I am, simultaneously, so surprised and delighted that Julia and your parents took you to Fisherman's Wharf for your birthday. How fitting! I believe there was a time when they took us there, literally, EVERY weekend.
