Fit Bitting

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...


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 ...


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...


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 ...


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...


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...


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...
