I am happy; there’s nothing interesting about that.
Off to bodyshop this morning
Yes, more money. I am a fool, but I’m conSIStent.
Nice day
I tried to get my car to a body shop but they must be on vacation or something. Paul and I went for a walk and then checked out the new gelato place at 6th and 6th in New West (verdict – the blood orange sorbet is FUCKING AMAZING). Honestly. It brought tears to my eyes Unfortunately I had the butter pecan, which was merely and without fanfare, good.
A little more practicing, a hymn sing at Peggy and Tom’s, a pot luck. The rest of my weekend was very pleasant.
Lost yesterday
Most of yesterday I felt horrid. I think I ate something that disagreed with me. But look!
MMMM
Plums from Derica’s front yard (Paul and I made an expedition). When I got in this morning, my minion D. provisioned me with blackberry muffins, which combined with Keith’s kickass coffee made a lovely start to my day. He also described seeing Kevin Smith live last night, along with his new movie Red State, which since it had Melissa Leo in it I was planning on seeing anyway.
Lovely lovely day! And enough sleep! And singing tonight with Cindy. Life is mwah! right now. And Kat and Kashka are getting married today, swoon. I hope those lovebirds have a lovely life together.
At Paul’s to sing and play
He’s cooking up corn and a fabulous looking Greek salad right now. Om Nom Nom! Keith is nerding out with Zero Punctuation, which even I will view from time to time.
Haven’t said it publicly recently enough
But I really love my brother. He is such an amazing guy, and so kind, and so, so funny.
Also, really liking the person Katie is turning into – brave and funny and self-deprecating. Already really liked Keith, so no new news there….. It’s very pleasant to like your children and enjoy their company, and even nicer when they still enjoy yours!
In a feeble attempt to look after myself
I am going to the dentist today.
Capitalizm’s finest ****ing hour
Oh Art & Science, give me strength! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-60734/Workers-baked-alive-bread-factory-horror.html
One thing and another
Off to the sawbones to get a scrip for orthotics and a knee xray. Yeah, the pain is not going away. Katie’s new job is going well. Working on songs makes me happy although quite obsessive. We watched a documentary about advertising called Art & Copy and that was quite interesting. And this is for mOm.
Mark Twain quote from a review
“What a little part of a person’s life are his acts and his words!” he offers at one point. “His real life is in his head and is known to none but himself…” If this internal monologue were to be written, he suggests, prefiguring Leopold Bloom by 20 years, “every day would make a book of eighty thousand words, three hundred and sixty-five books a year. Biographies are but the clothes and buttons of a man — the biography of the man himself cannot be written…”
You should all be very very VERY glad that I don’t spew it all out every day. I think, despite my father’s glum misgivings on the subject, I’m the very soul of discretion … at least sometimes.
Tron Legacy was so bad we couldn’t even fast forward through it
Jeff’s terse review shall stand for the ages.
Dreck, quoth he.
Conflikt V
I get a concert at Conflikt V! That means I have to practice.
Everybody here last night, it was lovely…. Paul dropped by on his way to work.
First 4 verses – I really like Jayne
Oh the curve of her cheek is rare
And the sound of her voice makes you just not care
She has got a love for hire
And she knows where to find you
She’ll shine that light and blind you
She surely knows her stuff about desire.
For a good man he’s awful bad
For a bad man he’s awful good
Priorities are understood
He’s got his ship and his crew
He knows exactly what to do
When he’s bitten off way more than he should
He can fly anything that can be flown
And you haven’t seen a thing until you’ve seen him in the zone
Crazy Ivans just for fun
Hitting bullseyes in the dark
Is something he’ll do for a lark
And he’ll blow your mind twice more before he’s done
Well he wasn’t hired on for his brain
More for the occasions letting Vera off the chain
Not exactly Mr. Tact
But a demon in a fight and he doesn’t travel light
And it’s good to have that muscle at your back
Practicing
Off to La Shaddyr’s last night (Cindy) to practice. What a silly pair of woozles we are! We HAVE a set list, but with our usual flair we went off book and practiced other stuff as well.
I came home and filled up a hole in the lyrics of one of my songs. THAT’s why it’s important to play music with other people …. it is alchemical, how a little music ends up being a lot, lot more.
Now I will take Jeff to Brekkie and start the day.
