Wednesday - I saw a couple of films with yetimike. Musical Brotherhoods from the Trans-Saharan Highway had a lot of footage of street musicians at night fairs in Morocco. Some great stuff, on banjos and other stringed instruments with battery amplification and lots of drummers on hand-drums, bongos, n such. Very lively stuff, much fun. Sumatran Folk Cinema was more varied, about the music...

Thanks to brokenbeatnik and GregWeed (not to mention the usual phillipetheotter going-on) for great old times this weekend. Biggest Friday partey evar, me finally hitting a bad karaoke match-up Saturday (it wasn't hard for me to finally find myself out of my range), and the medium-sized bash with the big-sized Mediterranean cookery at the Weed/dovienya place (with the mystery entrance ways).

Yeah, so I did...

Sonny & Cher get almost zero love.

I'm 10th from the bottom in seniority and 20 people hit the layoff list. It's a fairly small layoff. A "slowdown in the industry" could just be the fact that it's a short week in the U.S. next week due to Thanksgiving. I may just be off one week, i may be off for a month. Or "slowdown in the industry" could just be a bullshit line they use anytime there's a layoff for whatever reason. I'm not really sure, I've only been there since August. It can't be a matter of which car-maker though. We make parts for Chrysler, GM, Ford and a bunch of Japanese companies. Basically we supply almost every major car company and sell these parts exclusively across Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. Business seemed to be booming which makes me think any real slowdown other than the holiday is bullshit.

I saw some pretty great headlines on Yahoo News lately. One was "Barbados Faces Invasion by Giant Snails." I think they meant, say, 10 to 12 inch snails hurting crops, but obviously 200 foot ones would be neater. Then I saw "Piracy Fines to Increase in Vietnam." Turns out they don't mean Captain Kidd or Blackbeard, but rather software copiers. In a side note, the...

I've got a bad-ass cold going on. Cold, flu, whatever- when you get a handful of crappy symptoms, it's all the same. I had to work anyway, since... I get no sick leave, or annual leave, or any leave. At least my fever and headache seem under control from ibuprofen.

Last night went to Pirates o t C 2 with howdypardner. We hadn't hung...

I was gonna write about the Oregon election stuff, but I'm afraid to now. I'd probably just look stupid. Suffice to say, I'm torn on some ballot measures between my youthful idealism and my allegiance with conservative types that govt. programs, spending, and involvement usually don't add up to helping anything. My basic attitude about how the world works right now is 1) big businesses...

Huh. No one has told me anything about a party. I don't think there's going to be one really. I have a lot of stuff to do before I go. Like pack.
dmac:
It's DEFINITELY been wet and puny around Pdx, hasn't it? I suppose now that it's November, Mother Nature figures she can begin kicking our ass.

I'm pretty ambivalent about this year's election, too. Nothing's getting me motivated and nothing's making me feel like my vote would even matter this time around. meh.... Call me a bad citizen, I guess.

Not much goin on.

KALE STALKS
I've been steaming fresh, leafy greens from farmer markets for half a year now. When I got collards or kale, I always used to throw away a large part of the stalks, i.e. the stem part that is not leafy. I dunno why I got into this practice, but I got to thinking- when I bought frozen chopped collards,...

I weighed the merits of long, self-examining blog-spiel about my angst and restlessness, and the many things I've been doin lately, versus another annoying YouTube-video-as-blog which will appeal to extremely few people....





I know, I know... but it's that damned drum machine. It has me hyp-mo-tized

It looks like I kicked some ass this week thanks to Joe Horn, Reggie Wayne and Rex Grossman. Nobody else on my team did dick, as usual.
