Come closer...I can't see you...

"Oh No, I Got Tree Poop On My Tootsies!"

I gotta thank my friend Mike fort pointing me in the direction of "Neature Walk"...I really can't explain it and do it justice...You really must watch:




  Pretty neat, huh?


 Episode 1:



 Episode 3:

Where The FUCK Have I Been?

Well, I'm not really sure that's any of your business, and I do not appreciate the coarse language.

I'm not going to bother giving you some song and dance about how sorry I am that I haven't been posting and "blah-blah-blah"(wasn't that the name of Biz Markie's girlfriend? didn't she have "9/10 pants and a very big bra?"), because we both know that if I had something to say, I would have said it, right? So, let's just be glad that maybe I have something to say today, huh? Fair enough.

  I used the word "have" a lot in  that previous paragraph, and I spelled it wrong EVERY time(ahve).

  I actually was on vacation  there for a few weeks, piled the family into the family truckster and drove 'em on up to Jersey to visit family. Had a fun time.

  Other than that, not much to tell. Working. Living. Not writing(obviously.) Gonna work on that last one.

  Saw "Captain America". Dug it. Lotta fun. I knew early on when Hugo Weaving's character made a "Raiders Of the Lost Ark" reference in the first ten minutes or so, that this would be a good one.Go see it. Or don't, I really don't give a shit.

  I bought a new hat, as my hair is thinning just a weee bit on top, and the sun has a BURNING affect on my scalp. Here it is(with me in it)

 A man's gotta have his Miller High Life!


 Oh, and here's a Lenny Kravitz tune of which I am pretty fond:



So, yeah...That's the stuff so far. How you been?

Hey, You Got Any Random?

I don't know...I don't seem to have a coherent thought in my head today...I feel a random coming on...

Finally watched the return episode of "Glee" this weekend...And didn't like it very much. First of all, they should really stay away from the Doors and AC/DC. Second..It just seems like a very uneven show to me. I think it probably needs to to just go completely absurd, because Sue Sylvester, the best thing about the show, is so over the top ridiculous, that when the show tries to be more serious or dramatic, it just suffers, and it's painful to watch.For me anyways.

 Saw "Dead Snow" this weekend...Nazi Zombies! Liked it...Didn't love it.It just seemed like it could have been so much more...I guess I might have built it up a bit too much in my head.

 Watched the season(hopefully not season)finale of The Sarah Silverman Program, and it did not disappoint, and it was also rife with Nazis.

  I think today is gonna be a Bob Dylan playlist on shuffle kinda day.

I've started walking 2 miles a night, so we'll see how that works out.

 OPERATION BEARDO is coming along nicely. You can check out the progress here if you like.

Yeah, Bob Dylan was a good choice.

Alright, I've probably wasted enough of your time, I'll leave you with an image of some Nazi Zombies:

Happy Monday, dillweeeds!!!!

 

I Like To Think Of Myself As An Unique Fruit Flavor Experience....

I was sure I had something I really wanted to write about today...But I sit down to do it, and I got nothin'. Nothin'!

  So, what do you want to talk about?

 I'm listening to some Grateful Dead from their Spring Tour in 1990...man, I wish had gone to see them more often. I'm currently working on a short story about a show I attended in 1989...I'm struggling a little bit with finding the voice for it, we'll see what happens. Just writing that sentence I had a pretty good idea for how I might be able to try and tie some of my short stories together into a semi- coherent collection(or at least the book ends to the collection)....That's fairly exciting for me.

   Now I remember what I wanted to write about...Twin Peaks!! Not remotely prepared to do that right now, that will have to happen later in the week. Alas, and alack, perhaps you could have some coffee and cherry pie whilst you are waiting.

  so I bought this new flavor of Wrigley 5 gum called React. It bills itself as a "unique fruit flavor experience". I'm not exactly sure what that means....I can't quite put my finger on what the taste is, si I guess that does make it "unique". It's tasty alright, that I do know.Plus, it's this weird dark slate grey color, and that's pretty unique for gum, too.

  I was just struck by a memory....Does anyone else remember this gum that had a clown on the package, and it came in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry flavors? I think it was supposed to be like ice cream, maybe? Okay, i just did a search on the Tubes, and I found this picture:

  There they are in the middle on the left. man, that was some good gum.You know what else I just thought about? Razzles. Started as candy, but turned into gum...Man, that was good too.Those still exist, I've seen them recently.
  Okay, lots of other gums are coming flooding back to me now...I think this might be worthy of its' own blog post. As much as I loved candy as a kid, I think I always loved gum more.

  Alright, I gotta go. Smell ya later, dillweeds(I have also decided that dillweed is a criminally underused word, so I'm gonna amp up my usage).

R to the A to the N to the D to the O to the M!

Daughter- Loudon Wainwright III

Saw 2012 recently...I was disappointed.What made them think that movie should be nearly 3 hours long ? It's called EDITING people...Look it up.

My Sharona- the Knack

Chewing some Wrigley 5 Flare gum...Yummers!!

Flare means cinnamon, apparently.

You don't see a lot of purple highlighter markers, do you?

Nothing Compares 2 U- Sinead O'Connor

I must say, I really dislike the single letters for word thing(8-ate,U-you,etc.), even though Prince was waaaay ahead of the curve with that shit on this song title.

For Those About To Rock(We Salute You)- AC/DC

So, I'm supposed to drink 64 ounces of water per day now(to keep from fainting,a potential side effect of a new medication-whoo-hoo!!), and I will tell you-that's a lot of damn water!!

And I cannot believe we are halfway through the final season of LOST.

The Greatest Man That Ever Lived(Variations on a Shaker Hymn)- Weezer

I think that the "Real Housewives" shows seem to be becoming documentaries on people dealing with "fame", and most of them don't handle it very well. To paraphrase the Simpsons:"I used to find their antics amusing, now I just wish they were dead."

 End Of the Line- Traveling Wilburys

I have this little wooden Tiki totem pole thing on my desk, and I cannot look at it without thinking of the Brady Bunch visiting Hawaii and the cursed idol that Bobby found.Did n't Bobby find it and give it to Greg for good luck, or am I misremembering that?

I am very fond of the word shenanigans.

Hey Jealousy- Gin Blossoms

 I need to start the search for St. Patrick's Day decorations for my office earlier next year, pretty lame crop this year.

  Also, not a lot of green colored snacks out there...We went with Mint Oreos for the office this year.

Groovey->Got A Wait on- BuBu Klan

I think Simon Barsinister is one of the greatest supervillain names EVER.

 Okay, that's prolly enough for today. You folks take care, okay ? Be safe, Crimestoppers!!!

I Got a Proposition For You...

Psst…You there. Yeah, you…Can I talk to you about something? Where you from? Soho? St. Louis? Huh? Chicago? Oh, Jesus. I thought you looked like there was something wrong with you. Just kidding, my friend. Chicago is a great town. Great town. Boy, I could tell you some stories. 

But I won’t. I’m not here to tell stories, my friend. And I ain’t here to dance with you in the candlelight and sip champagne, either. No I am not. I’m here to get to the nitty gritty, the old brass tax, as they say. Are you passionate, my boy? Have you a spine? I ask you this, because I can already tell that you don’t look dumb. You don’t look like you just fell off of the turnip truck. I can tell that about you. I can just tell. But I cannot get a read on whether you can take the physical toll of what I am talking about.

Are you masculine enough? Or are you a Nancy? A Lola? A Sissypants? Are you? If you are, stop wasting my time right now. I don’t have time to get all muddled up in a deal with some Petunia who ain’t got the stones, you know? If you ain’t got the guts, there’s the door. This is my last shot, my friend, I have done it all, I’ve kissed the girls in France, I’ve run with the bulls in Spain, I’ve gotten drunk at the Vatican and given a cardinal a knee to the groin. This is the only thing I have left to do. And I need your help.

Are you in, or are you out?

I Can't Do Nothin' For Ya, Man....

What the what ?
 Is that post title a PE reference ?
Sure as shit, it is.

  Sorry this post is later than usual, I didn't have a chance to write it earlier this morning, so I'm gittin' to it when I kin git to it! Which today is whilst I am eating my lunch(PB&J on wheat, apple, and some Cheez-Its).

  I also don't have a helluva lot to say. things are things, Life is life and all that shit.

  Didn't sleep very well last night, But you don't really care do you ? I mean, shit, I don't even care about my fucking whining, why should you, right ?

  I'm re-reading "On the Road"-Man, that's a fucking fantastic book.

  My re-watch of Lost has entered Season 2. I'm pretty far behind schedule, but I think I'll be able to catch up by January. One thing I'll say about the re-watch, it's reminding me why I hated Charlie so much.I'm back to being glad he's dead.

  Got the new Weezer album last night. Digging it.

  Remind me to tell you the saga of replacing my under warranty broken cell phone. I don't really know that it qualifies as a saga, but it's a longer tale then i feel like telling you right now.Plus, it does not technically have a conclusion yet.

 I suppose I need to write up a bit about Halloween as well. I can leave you with a shot for my costume:

  I was Obi-Joe-Bob Kenobi. The theme of the party was "The Redneck Olympics". It was a blast.

  Later, Crimestoppers. I'll try and do better tomorrow.

It's Thursday....

So, I had another post that required some pictorial evidence, but I got some major guff for my pictures from yesterday's post, so I will give everyone a break from my sub par photography, and rap with you about some other random shit.

I had a dream last night where I was being admonished by my Dad for things that happened in a dream I had on Monday night...Or was it Tuesday night ? It might have been Tuesday night. Either way, it was very weird, on a lot of levels. For one thing, in the dream, I KNEW that all the stuff I was being yelled at for had not happened in real life. I knew that the previous events had been in a dream, but I didn't know that I was also currently in a dream.

  The other very weird thing was that while my dad looked(and sounded like) my Dad, he was speaking in a way that he never would have spoken.I think the best way to explain it is that he seemed like someone doing a good impression of my Dad, but with a really bad script. Does that make sense ? It was weird.

   I was very proud yesterday, as one of my daughters told me that she wants to watch the 3 Stooges.

  I'm kinda jazzed for "Flash Forward" tonight.Though I admit I am wary of getting interested in it, and then having ABC cancel it before they tell us what the hell was going on.Like they did with "I Married Dora". Network bastards.

  I forgot to wish Bruce Springsteen a Happy 60th birthday yesterday. Happy 60th, Boss.

Oh, and one last thing... I have become much better at finding lost Barbie shoes than I ever though I would be.Or could be.Or should be.

Feets, True Blood,What the Fuck Is Up With Yahoo ?(OR, I'm sorry Dude, but I don't hate the fuckin' Eagles, man.)

That's right, it's another recipe blog post from me!

Gotcha!

It's actually not a recipe post at all, but instead it's me, emptying my head onto this here virtual page.

Saw the podiatrist this morning, and my feets are looking good, and my toenails are now very short. I knew you were all waiting patiently for that report. You may now exhale.

Finished watching Season 1 of True Blood last night, and I like it quite a bit. I'm bummed that we will have to wait however long now to see Season 2, as we do not have HBO. I'm hoping that maybe when we make our Northerly trek for the winter holidays that maybe it will be on HBO OnDemand, or whatever that thing is.

I did guess who the killer was about 4 episodes ago, but I thought they did a pretty good job of misdirection. But, I do have one question to those that have watched the show: SPOILER ALERT(If you have not finished watching Season 1, skip to below where it says End Spoiler in big letters below)

Am I wrong, or was Rene the only Cajun on the show ? And did anyone else find his accent sort of distracting? I almost feel like it was meant to be a clue, especially since his fiancee found the dialect tape in his creepy toolbox of death and porn. It wasn't one of the reasons I figured out it was him, but it feels like it should have been.

END SPOILER....

And I just used IMDB to find out where the he

ll I knew the guy who played Terry from! He was Zack on the Gilmore Girls! That was driving me crazy. I knew I recognized him from something, but I just couldn't place it.

And I will just gratuitously add that I loves me some Anna Paquin.

Now, as for Yahoo. is anyone else having some weirdness with their Yahoo mail ? it's nothing HUGE, but just weird little things...Like I will click on an e-mail, and it will change from unread to read, but will not open the e-mail. And then this morning, it had me on a loop of the same three e-mails. If I hit "previous" it would scroll through the same three e-mails. Then, I clicked on a different e-mail and it opened it for a second, and then went right back to the first of the three "looped" e-mails. I finally closed it out, and then reopened it ,and it was fine. It's just kinda annoying, you know ?Anyone else having these issues ? Anyone ? Anyone ? Bueller ? Bueller ? Anyone ?

And lastly, I have been listening to some Eagles music lately, and while I usually try to not disagree with the Dude....On this point I must: I simply do not hate the fucking Eagles, man.

If It's Thursday, It Must Be Random....

So, I'm TiVoing a full day of "Land of the Lost"(the 70's tee vee show) on the Sci-Fi Channel today(and TOMORROW)...Whoo-hoo!!

Don't know if I'll bother with the movie, though.

Chewin' some gum.

Listenin' to some Weezer.

I need to trim my beard.

It seems that there are a lot of drivers out there who are only able to move quickly when pulling out in front of you. Then they lose track of the gas pedal.

I really wonder how the hell I get my glasses so dirty.

Just saw that David Carradine died. Farewell, grasshopper.

Death Race 2000 is still one of my all time favorite movies.

I think that's probably enough for today.

Bananas,Breath Mints, And Other Methods of Mass Catastrophication

Stay away from Trident Splash Orange Swirl...It's obviously supposed to taste like a creamsicle(there's even one on the package), but it doesn't get there, and it takes a really wrong turn somewhere...And just tastes wrong...Kinda like the gum equivalent of how people came back from the Pet Sematary in the Stephen King book(without the killing part).

"Dream On" by Aerosmith

So, I was finally able to update my iTunes, and I must admit, this Genius thing is pretty cool. It's pretty neat to be able to make what essentially amounts to "surprise" playlists.

I'm not actually listening to a "surprise" playlist right now(though I did make a couple last night) this is one I made called "Claaaassic Rock, man."

"The Rocker" by Thin Lizzy

I think Al Swearengen may be one of the ten best television characters ever created.

"Out of Time"by The Rolling Stones

I really need to make an appointment with the eye doctor.

I'm pretty jazzed to color Easter eggs with my kids this weekend. I hope that they realize that in order for the eggs to look presentable, I will really need to do all the work.

"Jailbreak" by AC/DC

Speaking of my daughters, I can't tell you how good it feels when "Hanging On the Telephone" by Blondie finishes playing in the car, and I hear from the back seat"I wanna hear that again." YES!!!

I think it's quite surreal and, honestly, just plain wrong that Bob Weir and Phil Lesh were on "The View". 

I'm pretty excited for "Parks & Recreation". 

"In The City" by the Eagles.

Speaking of the Eagles, I was reading an article about "The Big Lebowski" this weekend, and one of the sidebars was about the soundtrack. Apparently, they were having trouble getting the rights to Townes van Zandt's cover of the Stones' "Dead Flowers" and...well, here's the actual paragraph from the article:

    A tougher get was Townes Van Zandt's cover of the Rolling Stones' "Dead Flowers," which plays overLebowski's closing credits. "[Former Stones manager] Allen Klein owns the rights to it," Burnett says. "He wanted $150,000." Burnett begged Klein to just come down and watch an early cut of Lebowski. "It got to the part where the Dude says, 'I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man!' Klein stands up and says, 'That's it, you can have the song!' That was beautiful." For the record, Burnett agrees with the Dude ("[The Eagles] sort of single-handedly destroyed that whole scene that was brewing back then," he says), but the line infuriated Glenn Frey. "I ran into [Frey] and he gave me some shit," Jeff Bridges says. "I can't remember what he said exactly, but my anus tightened a bit."

      Written by Andy Greene in Rolling Stone, Issue 1060-September 4,2008

Isn't that awesome ? And I don't even hate the Eagles, I just think that story is great.

I ma just about finished with "The Wordy Shipmates" by Sarah Vowell, and I can't decide what to read next: Kingdom Come(a graphic novel from the DC comics universe) by Mark Waid and Alex Ross or  "More Information Than You Require" by John Hodgman.  What do you think ?

Speaking of DC Comics, I bought a new superheroes folder at Target last night;Superman, Batman, Aquaman and The Flash on the cover. Will hold miscellaneous notes.

"Dixie Chicken" by Little Feat

I really want Patty Smyth to make some new music.

"LOST" is on tonight...I'm giddy!!!

Catchya later.

Can't Mentos & Diet Coke Just get Along ?

(what's playing on the iPod will be in bold)

I am amazed by the fact that, after living and driving in New Jersey, LOS ANGELES, and Chicago, that Tallahassee would have the worst drivers of all. Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick! Would someone tell these people how a four way stop works ? Or where the gas pedal is ? I'm gonna lose it soon!!


"It Makes No Difference" by the Band

I had some honey chicken wings last night that almost literally had NO flavor. It was quite an accomplishment. I'm tempted to stop by the restaurant to see exactly how they do that.


"Movies" by Alien Ant Farm.

I have decided that episodes of "Deadwood" will be the entertainment while riding the exercise bike.

"I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You" by Tom Waits

Filled out my NCAA Tournament brackets, even though I have not the faintest clue what I'm talking about. I do love watching the tournament, though. Go Boilers !!

"Deep Elem Blues"(live-Acoustic)- Jerry Garcia & John Kahn at Oregon State Prison

Got some good news from the dental hygienist yesterday-My gums are rebounding from the periodontal disease very well. Whoo hoo!!! Go Teeth!!!

"32 Flavors"(live) by Ani DiFranco

Reading "The Wordy Shipmates"...I loves me some Sarah Vowell. One of the few audio books I would be tempted to purchase.

Speaking of audio books(sorta)..I added the 1996 spoken word adaptation of "Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas" to my IPod last night. I'm thinking I might listen to it on my way home. Maybe it will lighten my mood...Or drive me over the edge.

" Sight For Sore Eyes" by Tom Waits

Cooked up some corned beef, cabbage, red potatoes and sodabread on Sunday.(Not enough time on Tuesday) It was pretty good. It was my first sodabread, something went wrong, but I'm not sure what. I have some pictures of it. I'll post it later. later meaning another day, probably. Not later today.

"11:59" by Blondie

Finally got the digital thermostat installed...Now I just have to learn how to program it. It's currently on military time and Celsius.

I should clarify...Our landlord had someone install the thermostat...I tried, but I couldn't quite decipher which of the 27,000 screws in the thing were actually attached to the wall, so I thought I would let an expert handle it.

"V" by Golden Smog

I like Frosted Mini-Wheats.

My Mom sent her granddaughters the DVD set of the Magic Garden. I'm excited to watch it with them. I used to watch that show religiously when I was a kid.

If you want to know just how often Spongebob Squarepants is on Tee Vee everyday, get a Season Pass on your TiVO. Holy Crap!! It practically has it's own channel. And I delete a bunch of the recordings that are scheduled...And then it adds MORE!!! It's almost creepy!

"Rhiannon" by Fleetwood Mac

The Daily Show is like that too. I record it every night at 11:00, but then it periodically gets added at 8 am and 10 am and 2 pm and 8 pm., etc. It's bananas !!

I'm thinking I might have a Pop-Tart in a few minutes.

"Ruben & Cherise"(Live-Acoustic)-Jerry Garcia & John Kahn at Oregon State Prison


I really should go.

Be good, Crimestoppers. And if you can't be good, at least be tall.

Waffles, Reel To Reel Tapes, & Cocoa Butter:Recipe For Disaster ?

Still got nothing...How about some randomness ?

We got some pita chips the other day, and they are all SUPER thick, like the pita was never cut in half.

Finally finished "The Watchmen", now starting 'The Wordy Shipmates"by Sarah Vowell.

Saw "Pineapple Express" on Monday. Pretty funny. Oddly enough...Made me miss weed.

Wondering if anyone in Tallahassee will ever fucking figure out what a four way stop is, and how it works.

Listening to Lou Reed sing "Perfect Day".

Had some leftover chicken with rice for lunch. And a Fuji apple.

Very happy the Cowboys finally released T.O.

Now Elvis Costello(actually The Costello Show) is singing "Suit of Lights".

Still loving "Lost".

Pissed that "Life On Mars" is being cancelled.

Very thankful for Hulu, since the stupid NASCAR race went long on Sunday, so my TIVO recorded that instead of the Simpsons.

"You Can Call Me Al"- Paul Simon

Can't possibly end on a Paul Simon reference.

Bass solo.

My "Nothing Left To Do But Smile Smile Smile is missing a U and an I...So there is NOTHING LEFT TO DO B T SMILE SMILE SM LE.

Peter Tosh and Mick Jagger- "Don't Look Back".

Does This Hat Make My Ass Look Big ?

I can feel the randomness, can you ?

I think I failed the Jeopardy online test again. probably for the best. I would probably pull an Alex P. Keaton/Cindy Brady if I ever got on the show anyway. Just stand there wide-eyed...Probably drooling a bit. Either that, or I would just buzz in and answer EVERY question incorrectly, perhaps even with the same answer: "What is vanilla extract ?". Just go down in absolute flames. Might be fun. I wonder if they would air it ?

So, I'm not gonna get all soapboxy about this whole Michael Phelps thing( I do happen to believe that pot should be legal, and I am personally faaar more upset with his DUI than with a picture of him holding a bong-Hell, that picture just made me nostalgic)...But I was reading some of the comments people were making on the photo at a newspaper website(I honestly don't recall which one) and people were arguing back and forth, some making good points on both sides, abut then someone typed this(I am paraphrasing), "How do we know it wasn't crack that Phelps was smoking ?" Huh ? It's not a crack pipe, that's why. IT'S A BONG !!!!! It's for smoking mari...I mean it's for smoking harmless tobacco products! Not crack ! You imbecile!

I thought Bruce did a fine job at the Super Bowl. "Glory Days' is maybe my least favorite Springsteen song, but it's fun, and I know a lot of people quite enjoy it, and he did a good version of it...It's just a song that I heard waaaay too much back in '84-'85, and I did not like it that much to begin with.

I think Bruce's new record, "Working On A Dream" is excellent, by the way, and I like it more with each listen.

I think this is now posted, but I will finish it, and then post it again. See, I accidentally hit enter after putting in some labels, and that posted the entry prematurely. Sorry about that. It's never happened to me before. No, I'm serious! I have never prematurely posted before! Really. You aren't going to tell anyone, are you ?

Will you hold me ?

Random Shit And Stuff And Things And Such And What Have You

"Lost" returns tonight. I am ridiculously excited by this fact.

I've been listening to the three Strokes albums this morning, I'm still digging them. I think I might switch over to some Juana's Addiccion !

I watched "The Big Lebowski" again this weekend...Fuck, that is a great movie...And "Shut the fuck up, Donny!"

I also saw the episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer where the potential Slayers and Faith and Principal Wood and Giles and Willow and Xander(jerk) and Dawn and Anya all kick Buffy out. I still wish that principal Wood had died. I was also wondering, to those of you that watched the show-Do you think they were wrong ? I did and still do, but I was wondering if I am alone in that thinking.

I have been chewing a lotta gum lately- alternating between Dentyne Cinnamon Fire and Trident Splash Apple with Raspberry. Pretty tasty.

You know, I was just thinking that I like the "p" in the word raspberry, but I realized that if I stated that out loud, I would open myself up to mocking and ridicule.

I really want to watch "The Flamingo Kid", I think I might have to use part of a gift card to Borders to buy it on DVD. I love that movie. if you have not seen it, see it. if you have seen it, see it again. NOW !!!!

Has anyone bought orange juice lately ? Jeesum Crow, there's like 4 thousand varieties of orange juice now.

You get the feeling that I'm lonely this morning with nobody to talk to ?
Yeah, me too.

Did I tell you that I saw "Juno" ? Damn, damn fine movie, my friends. It reminded me of when I was just a young, pregnant teenager. Good times, good times.

Okay, I think i'm done...Feel free to go about your day.

"I'm listening....keep riffin' "

The title is from an SCTV skit called "Black Like Vic"( which was a spoof of "Black Like Me"), which also contained this classic exchange:
"Who are you ?"
"People call me Bubba."
"I'm sorry. people can be cruel sometimes."
"But it's my name."
"Oh."

I'm probably not doing any of the lines justice, but they are in my head, and they are making me giggle, so there they are...

Anyways...The title of the post says it all...I'm just riffin' today, my friends...A little verbal jazz fusion...a little scat, if you will...some drums/space for my Deadhead brothers and sisters...Just letting it flow...

I know some people disagree, but caffeine free colas taste DIFFERENT...and not in a good way...

I finally started reading the Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 comic book last night. I only got through the first one, but quite the revelation at the end there.

I'm listening to the Stones on the old iPod this morning, and I am digging it, getting my Ya-Ya's out, so to speak. "Just My Imagination(Running away With Me)" is up right now.

Chewing some "Trident Tropical Twist"- it's alliterative, AND delicious !!

I bought The Simpsons "Testify" last night- pretty good, but it doesn't have 'Moe Moe Moe" by the Moe Szyslak Experience, and it doesn't have closing credit song by Shawn Colvin from the episode where Maud Flanders dies...And WHERE are the Party Posse songs ? Other than that, it's fun, and it has some dialogue from the episodes as well.

I spell "episodes " wrong a lot.

My dog ate the post I had planned for today.

Then a gator ate my dog.

Apparently, that won Michael Vick 200 bucks.


In other football news, The Dallas Cowboys are 2 and 0...This makes me happy.

Does salsa fall under the umbrella term of "dips" when talking about snacks ? Or does "Chips and salsa" have to be specified ?

I think that's sufficient riffage...It's time for lunch...Tuna on wheat, if you're interested.

Mai Too Sense...

So, I'm wondering what the odds are of me not finding out how the Soprano's ended before I can see them on DVD. I'm guessing slim to none. I hope they rush those fuckers to DVD.

Keeping in the HBO Original Series vein, We saw most of the third disc of the first half of the third season of Entourage, and I want someone to ACTUALLY make a movie about Joey Ramone- get on it, Hollywood !!

Husker Du(pardon my lack of umlauts) just came on the iPod- man, they are a great band. I don't listen to them near enough.

I'm all phlegmmy this morning so I sound like Lauren Bacall...I mean Harvey Fierstein...I mean Tom Waits...Dammit !!

Does anyone know why the Noid hated hot pizza so much ? I'm hoping he got some counseling, that sort of rage is unhealthy.

This Trident gum I'm chewing is "Xylitol-icious!!!!"

Is there any easy way to hook an iPod up to a stereo receiver ? Or is it designed so I have to buy an iStereo or something ?

Shit, I gotta go- my pan seared salmon is ready.

Shit de Random...

You know, I don't even know that I have any random shit to say(or type). I have all sorts of things bouncing around in there, but I don't have the energy to write about them at the moment.

But I must write something, right ? I must, I must.

I fear that the internets may make the glue stick obsolete.

There once was this "black private dick, who was a sex machine to all the chicks..." Do you know the one I'm talking about ? For the life of me, I cannot remember his name...He really was a"cat who won't crap out, when there's danger all about"

I cannot believe that my girls are just days short of 21 months old, and NEITHER one of them is excelling at sports yet. My genes suck.

I could really use a FlufferNutter right about now.

Are there any non-cling peaches ?

Were there REALLY two people name John Jacob Jingleheimershmidt ?

I still cannot believe how the Mets won that game last night...

I think it's time to listen to some good old Grateful Dead...Brown-Eyed Women-Richmond, Virginia-11/1/85. Nice.

Have a good one.

Paticus...out !!!

"Pardon me, I have nothing to say..."-George Carlin

That about sums it up.



Nothing of any great substance to add. Yet, here I am typing-Why is that, do you suppose ?



I don't watch the"Office". I don't watch "Grey's Anatomy". If one more person tells me I "should" watch them, I might kick a puppy.



I am super pissed that Veronica Mars was cancelled. Pigfuckers at the CW.



Roger Clemens needs to admit that he wanted the insane amount of money that the (evil) N.Y. Yankees wanted to give him, and that is that. Has nothing to do with family or World Series rings. He wanted the cash. And more power to him. Just own up to it.



Warren Zevon is a genius.



So is Joe Strummer.



I tried Vanilla Coke Zero over the weekend. It's pretty good. Actually better than I remember Vanilla Coke tasting...back when I could rink soda with sugar in it...sigh...Excuse me, I have something in my eye....



So I hear that they are making a sitcom based on the caveman characters from the Geico commercials...Wow...



I always thought that the lizard had more breakout potential.


So, I was walking across campus on Friday, and a car passed by BLASTING "Maneater" by Hall & Oates without a hint of irony- I don't know whether that's disturbing or fantastic.

I have a ham sandwich for lunch.
