Day: February 2, 2013

ooh Fred Pohl filk!

Gonna go to Gateway, yes indeed
Gonna take that ride
Gonna go to Gateway, yessirree
Gonna take that ride
Maybe I will hit the jackpot baby
Find my ticket among the stars
Maybe I’ll keep my head down baby
Wiping tables in the Blue Hell bar…

Gonna go to Gateway, o yeah
Gonna take that ride
Gonna go to Gateway, unh hunh
Gonna take that ride
Maybe I will meet some aliens
Find some fancy tech that’s o so rare
Maybe I will take a loser trip
Spend my last minutes fighting for air

Gonna go to Gateway, understand
Gonna take that ride
Gonna go to Gateway, that’s the plan
Gonna take that ride
Can’t call this plan courage
when it’s the only option that I’ve got
I’ll do cause I have to, the day is coming fast
I’ll find out what I get for what I bought.

And your choice of one veggie entree….

In a spectacular outburst of insanity, I may buy a takeout/café.  It’s in a part of Edmonds that is very dead for restaurants, but in about three months the new rec/community center will open and there will actually be more traffic.  I’ll be talking to the current owner on Monday.  It’s a really good deal for the kitchen equipment though… looks like it’s all going for about 30 cents on the dollar.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Impossible, but not if you’re scared to drown.  The lead child actor, Tom Holland, is so good that it is obvious he will have a long and illustrious career, and Naomi Watts and Ewen McGregor are simply wonderful as the parents. It’s about the Boxing Day tsunami.
