Thank you all so very much for your lovely birthday wishes - I have just ordered the Electirc Company 3-disc dvd as one of my gifts and, of this, I am NOT ashamed.
In fact, I am rather fucking excited.
Bring on the 70's goodness...I am ready.
I will be posting pictures I swear - I just have to take the time to resize and...

Watched an awesome documentary on punk rawk on IFC last night - flooded me with the memories of being 16 - as I approach 38 it just doesn't feel like THAT much time has passed - it's crazy.

On Fiona Apple and redundancy in general:
This new album is such a huge disppointment. I was sort of looking forward to it and have given it more than just a one-shot go but the verdict is in and I am completely underwhelmed. It is grating and monotonous over cliche'd and just a shit load of the same old same old that she's been singing...

It's funny, but I've heard from at least 3 folks that it's GREAT great great. I never really got into any Fiona besides "Criminal," myself. (I had a library copy of Tidal.)
Sometimes when I sit down at the keyboard to type I approach it as though I am sitting before a piano...composing a concerto. While the melodies may be hard to distinguish we can make symphonies of words given the time.
My symphonies used to be dark and foreboding, deep oboe filled angst and lilting flute losses. Long, wistful cello years and far too many saxophone...

This is lovely poetic prose. I like the metaphor and the hopeful present and future.
I hope youre over the flu as well.

It's not often that I read journals and am inspired by them. But more often than not, I am by yours. For THAT, I'm grateful
Random notes:
1. I have been knocked out - beat up - sick with the flu for two days. All I can tell you is that it feels like I have broken ribs it hurts so much from coughing.
2. I like cottage cheese. A lot.
3. My daughter's ice skating party is tomorrow - - - 10 9-year old girls at the rink with...

Are you asleep already?
Cottage cheese? Really? I have to say I would prefer ricotta cheese, in the format of a big saucy, mozarellaed calzone.
(We say-- cal-zone-AY!)

I couldn't forget you! Still waiting for my phone call back, so I figured you just weren't coming back. 
A foot of snow and it keeps on coming...it's the only time in the city that the sidewalks and streets are serene and untouched. I dig it.

I've walked in this snow far too much to see it as anything but the cause of my persistently cold feet. Fuck you, Mr. White Christmas. You're late as shit.
nocontrol:
It fucking melted already. This is some kind of bullshit. 
we are having a party - a BIG one - on Feb. 24th to encompass all of our various February birthday happenings. Check it out in SGPhilly.
Do come.
Bring friends!

RIP Johnny Cash
Couldn't have said it better myself - and certainly couldn't have been nearly as punk rawk as Johnny freaking Cash.
Enjoy your birthday my youngest baby boy Nicholas (aka Calculon3000) - I love you so much - you kick so much ass - and...

I didn't realize you were back here! 
Did you wanna be on Friends Lists? I realize my Journal this year has been -less- than perfect. I've been pretty scattered.

I think it was the first year of that category and they were totally clueless as to what "metal" really was. Say what you want about Metallica, but they probably should have won. Jethro Tull was not metal, nor was that album any good.
Not that it matters...it's been what, 20 years since then and they still make some weird picks. Granted, Slipknot might be a metal band, but I don't know too many metal fans over the age of 14 who thought their last album didn't suck hog balls.

What I'd REALLY love? The Muppet Movie collection...FUCK yes!
In fact, maybe I'll go add that to my wishlist now!
And of course, it was a high-comedy staple of every '80s high-school student to put obscene compound words into the Electric Company face-silhouettes-recitation format.
