Skyline
http://youtu.be/1wVXgxLLgiA As of yesterday my daughter is a High School graduate. Beanie was in full beanie form, refused to take off her hoody before putting on the cap and gown. There wer...
Fit Bitting
Again the overnight was wonderful. Perfect temperature for sleeping. I wasn't sure what the weather a going to do, so I folded laundry and floormated the kitchen which was getting disgusting wh...
What Is, Is
Nice cool night last night. With all the windows open it was good for sleeping. Other than the occasional jackhole who thinks it is all right to roll through the neighborhood with a 15MPH speed...
Shangri-La
http://youtu.be/a5qk2c1OuRA I almost got into an YouTube argument with a guy in England who claimed it was Jeff Lynn who did the falsetto outro to this song. But it is the same voice at the int...
Postcards from Paraguay
http://youtu.be/aXXemzIo1ao Postcards From Paraguay My Shangri-La is my favorite off Mark Knopfler's album Shangri-La which is apparently named after the studio in Malibu. Postcards is more of...
Sun / FaceScat
Incredibly, the rain has finally stopped. The grass loved the rain, and sprouted a foot in the last few days. Neighbor dude is out mowing his formerly dog shit caked yard. I should think about...
Dreary Tuesday
It's like someone forgot to flip the switch on the sun today. It never really got light. It's been a while since it stayed so dark and overcast. Mid 40s, cool and clammy. It rained all day, an...
Memorial Day
I find it a little odd that Memorial Day and Veterans Day have seemed to morph into the same thing for a lot of people. As much as I appreciate "thanks for your service", I won the bet. I ...
Didn't Mean to Fall in Love
http://youtu.be/G4obU7gXZ4o The weather guessers did it again. The predicted dreary, rainy weekend has actually been fairly pleasant. Overcast a bit, but mostly sunny today. The roads and r...
Hollyann
http://youtu.be/SYj3RX525-U Oh, the nights you came to me A blue jean lady so eager to be free. And the wind in your long hair blowin' as we stood for the band Oh, Hollyann. I just saw a comm...
Just for the Spending Money
The unsettled weather continues here in the northeast. Some low pressure area off the coast keeps moisture cycling. First thing in the morning it was 70F and sunny. I put the recycling bin out...
Rock of Ages
So on a beautiful Sunday I am sitting at my desk trying to get the last of this week's assignments finished. Or rather, trying to find the motivation. I downloaded the APA format template from ...
National Do Not Call Registry
https://www.donotcall.gov/ I keep forgetting that registering on the DNCR is only good for a year. Then a year later the phone starts ringing off the hook. If I don't recognize the number I let...
High Noon
Happy Mother's Day all you mothers out there! I went to bed late last night, with two Benadryl. Holy crap does that stuff knock me out. I had planned to be up early to work on some school work...
Dukey Downer
Without trying too hard to be a Dukey Downer (heh that's pretty funny actually), sometimes I think I like Winter more than the other three seasons. Because my windows are closed and I don't have...
700 Sundays
http://youtu.be/f1IWIc-encw 700 Sundays Rocky to start the day, as is every Friday. I don't like drinking coffee after noon, but on school nights it is necessary. The problem is the hamster o...
Nothing to Fear
http://youtu.be/P5cXw4B98jM All summer long I've seen you standing there Watched your skin brown as the sun faded your hair... I woke to the arpeggio start to this song in my head. Then the ly...
Crotchety Old man
I decided I was overdue for a haircut, so sauntered over Kilroy's. One of the few places I can walk to around here - at least this time of the year. My barber - Ann - was finishing up with an e...
Your pale blue eyes cutting through me...
Heard that song on the radio, And it got my gears turnin' Like a real life time machine. You were there in the front seat, Windows down we were burning, It was just like a movie scene, Those das...
Hail Sunday
Odd weather. Perfect for a lazy Sunday. Alternating rain and sunshine. I knew the repeating heating and cooling would make for interesting afternoon. I was using my skills as a junior meteoro...
Friday
I had class last night. I sometimes amaze myself at my ability to remember facts from the ridiculously long reading assignments. I go all Zen while reading textbooks, just hoping to absorb anyt...
The Diaspora
The Diaspora Since OD's demise I have noticed that some friends settled in with Facecrap, and appear ready to just nest there. Another group bailed completely. More moved to ProseBox. Some ho...
Up
It only misses the scenes when Ellie and Carl met as kids. Great movie. I cry every time I see the scene after she loses the baby. The first movie I saw on the 1080p 50" http://youtu.be/F2b...
Good Friday Flotsam and Jetsam
It's good Friday. Considering it commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus, I think it might be a little mislabeled. I'm not religious, haven't been to church in years. but I know which side my br...
Doolin-Dalton / Desperado (Reprise)
http://youtu.be/tSz0Ud4u0Sw The queen of diamonds let you down, She was just an empty fable The queen of hearts you say you never met Your twisted fate has found you out And it's fin'lly tur...
Book Description
The random and sundry. The sacred and profane. The pleasure and the pain.
Warning: I crack myself up sometimes
