I'm not sure either.
We are getting an IHOP in Rapid City. That makes me happy. Soon I can stop going to stupid Perkins and their lousy service and start going to IHOP and their soon to be lousy service.
Not much is really going on around here. Made the mistake of trying to go to Borders the day that Harry Potter came out. (I didn't know.) On the plus side they had the right version of Ride of the Valkyries and one of my lifelong quests is now complete.
A little background in the madness.
A long time ago I watched Apocalypse Now and decided that Ride of the Valkyries was the coolest song ever. The problem was getting the song. I got a Wagner CD, but it was only instrumental. The song is good, but it needs the operatic pieces to be truely good. At one point we had Napster, but I could not find a decent recording of the peice on there anywhere. Also, we only had 56k at that point... so I couldn't do it alot.
The process wouldn't be too hard, except nobody really specifies whether or not they have the opera or not. After a few years of searching half-heartedly I got I-Tunes. Unfortunately, none of the 30 second clips on it were of the part with singing, and none of them said if they had a Diva in the ansemble. After buying two deceptively titled versions that suggested they had the opera and didn't I found one that did have the opera. But, because God doesn't like me, it had the wrong divas. Basically, they were sapranos instead of mezzosapranos or altosapranos or something like that. Anyway, their voices were too high, so it didn't sound right, and at some points it sounded downright goofy. (The high notes came out as a yelping WAAAA.) So, again I was defeated. I turned to Amazon and read lots of reviews of various Wagner CDs until I came upon one that said, "I had been looking for the version of Ride of the Valkyries they used in Apocalypse Now and I finally stumbled upon this one, it is the exact same one and I am very happy." (Only longer and more eloquent.) Then I simply sauntered off to Borders and picked it up.
Dana gave me a Silver Monkey Idol. So that only leaves three of my five life quests left to be completed.

What were the other three? It pays to keep my eyes open at work for such things, as we sell the world's largest collection of crap located in one place and may very well have what you're looking for...
I am guessing two of the others were get laid and get paid. Well you have a job, you had/ (will prolly have again soon) a woman. So both those goals have been accomplished. And If I said this once I have said it a thousand times you can not perform the invincible wheel on Dana while drinking cofeee and eating crispy creams at the same timewhile listening to iron maiden, all laws governing motion, physics, and human anatomy wull simply not allow it so stop trying!!! Be thankful you accomplished 4 life goals, greedy bastard.
