Spring cleaning is going on and I have the ipod on Shuffle.

Little China Girl by David Bowie came on and for a few minutes, everything was really nice.

"Oh Baby, just you shut your mouth."

Have you heard the new album? Sounds great.

Happy Birthday, i could send you a pic of my boobs, but I'm pretty sure that would be pointless

Van Cliburn died today.

And, while it is an embarrassing fact that I didn't know he was still alive, I was still saddened to hear it. Every time I hear his version of Clair du Lune it reminds me of my grandfather.



My grandfather was just a little financially short of being an actual symphonic pianist (or so I've been told by my, sometimes embellishing...

Wow, almost a year to the day since the last blog. I'd say I have a lot of catching up to do (give?) but I wouldn't even know where to start.

Came across a good line while reading today that pretty decently sums up my attitude toward Irish Lent.

For those of you unfamiliar with this insane idea of Irish Lent, hit the spoiler.

Last night, was pleasantly surprised at another show by the Two Gallants.


I can't say enough about these guys. Two best friends from childhood who chipped away at making music (at first for change in Golden Gate Park) and have created some of my favorite guitar playing and drumming and scorned and pained lyrics. They are amazing to watch. The lead singer is awkward and...

Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era?

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

While a good title to a blog about New Year's, it is also an example of of one of my little quirky hobbies. I'm totally a fan of little word games or puzzles and Palindromes happen to be among my fav's. While recently reading an interview with Tom Waits,...

I'm not big on new year resolutions but In the last month or so I've been eating much healthier and working out a lot and it's working. Take a look at this site for a guide to healthy living there's a lot of really good info.
http://scoobysworkshop.com/
it's all free, it's all good and scooby seems like a pretty down to earth kinda guy. The majority of the site is focused on building muscle but there is a section on weight loss through cardio and good nutrition. Best thing to do is play the long game. Just try to loose a couple of pounds a week at the most, don't starve yourself or you'll get cravings and binge and the absolute best most priceless piece of info I got off there "Eat you calories don't drink them!"
hyatt:
Cheers. smile

Good luck with the resolutions. I made them for the first time ever last year and I actually followed through with them to a fair extent!

Yes, I do realize I don't blog anymore. (Not that I did to begin with)
Yes, it has a lot to do with not having time to do much of anything anymore.

Hit another milestone tomorrow. My fourth Avon Walk for Breast cancer. So, after tomorrow that'll be 156 "official" miles (training miles not included) and what I am guessing is about $10,000 at least...

Alright, enough of this God Forsaken Lent. It ends tonight and not one day too soon. (Anyone scratching their head thinking that I gave up after only a day should refer to the last blog.) (Man, has it been that long?)

So, to celebrate, some favorite drinking quotes of mine:

O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their...

A few things on the agenda:

A Drunken Man's Praise of Sobriety

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

Come swish around, my pretty punk,

And keep me dancing still

That I may stay a sober man

Although I drink my fill.

Sobriety is a jewel

That I do much adore;

And therefore keep me dancing

Though drunkards lie and snore.

O mind your feet, O mind your...

Hehe. That's not my whole trip! I'll be adding more photos but a week is really just not enough.

I saw so many of those works in SF. smile Dear Lord I love Cezanne - but I'm not sure if it's more because I am moved by his particular story of artistic struggle.
hyatt:
haha - yes and just before that moment I had my e-reader in a ziplock bag.

Because.

I am THAT fucking classy. biggrin
