I did my good deed for the day tonight. We received a letter in the mail today that was for none of us yet it had our address. So I tracked down the person to whom it was addressed on the Net and the woman came over and picked it up.

Ron gave me the eponymous album by The White Stripes and I have to...

Yeah! Jerusalem is great!! I didn't think I'd like it as much as I do. But I do. (I love switching tenses in mid sentence - keeps suckas on their toes). Last time I saw Earle was at Bummerfest and he appealed to all the Union members with his banter. Then he finished off the show by saying "if any of you work for a living, George Bush is out to fuck you over!!" A great yalp went up from the crowd. A wonderful moment.

Ye gods! It's been a few days.

Well, I was in a little bowling soiree today and took home the trophy for high men's game. Also got a gift certificate for dinner. This morning I had breakfast with my friend Melissa from Milwaukee and her new beau who lives here in Madtown. Yesterday I did the geek routine and played Dungeons & Dragons all day....

Things are afoot! I got a bid on the house and I've gotten stuff put away. My new computer is almost fully-armed and operational. Right now I'm downloading a John Coltrane and a North Mississippi All-Stars bootlegs. Once they're done I can burn everything of mine on my roommate's PC and xfer it over to mine. That's gonna take forever as I have lots of...

Funny you should try to quote the above and I actually know the line. The only one I remember from performing the 9th a number of years ago. As I recall, only one or two movements actually have singing. Made for a long and boring performance for the choir.

I didn't make the Sleepy Jackson. I should've gone. I was too lazy last night after a long day at the office. Had to decompress some way that didn't involve crowds, booze and loud music.

I'm stoked about the symphony season too. Milw. symphony is doing some great stuff, most notably a little Bartok. And they've got a 2 for 1 deal going on!

My sympathy re your father and friend's heart troubles. My dad's had two open heart's. A triple bypass and aortic valve replacement. I worry about him all the time . . . .

I really need to get my computer setup with tht 20" monitor. I'm looking at a 17" screen and it seems so tiny....

I'm listening to a Morphine bootleg from 1993. It's weird how different they sound here than on their albums. Songs are stretched out to Grateful Dead-like proportions. "Yes" is nearly 10 minutes long. Now they're doing a little country ditty.

Today I...

I can't say I've ever heard of Red Psalm. How old is it? I could check imdb.com, but I'm being lazy. tongue

Another of my favorite long-take films is Running Time starring Bruce Campbell. Definitely worth checking out.

On your list yesterday you forgot to schedule "party with shiva, esquire and pants in milwaukee." Better get on that. I want someone who will appreciate my Barber's Closet stories. Especially the one where I used to tell newcomers that the bathroom was through Rod's, and to just go in there and ask someone where it is.

Alrighty then! The driver of the moving truck called today for directions. He said he'd be here between 8-9 tomorrow morning. Once he's gone, I've got to vacuum one room and mop another. Call to have utilities turned off and electricity put in my name. Then I hit the road! 1200 miles between me and home. I'm gonna lose 40 degrees in temperature but I'll...

Well, I've sent off my application to Flux to gain entry into the prestigious SG:NHS group. I write a lot but hate pretty much everything I come up with. So I sent a journal entry about a life experience which I find to be palatable. Part narrative, part confession with dashes of astronomy and Sacred Harp music thrown in for good measure. Will I be...

Beatallica rocks! They do Beatles songs like Metallica.

Beatallica

Some song titles:

Blackened the USSR
Got To Get You Trapped Under Ice
Everybody's Got a Ticket to Ride Except Me and My Lightning
The Thing That Should Not Let It Be

The singer does a great James Hetfield too.

The 9/11 Commission starring Condoleezza Rice is on now. I just love how she thanked the commission for letting her appear. Christ, they almost had to drag her kicking and screaming out of her executively privileged safehouse.

My name is Skippy and I approve this journal entry.
shiva8:
yeah, i don't think so, bub. why don't you get the eye jewelry first and then i'll think about it.

congrats on finding another "friend" who will give you the time of day. oink
