Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love

Oh joy! Oh vistas of inner pleasure! An ever mounting flame of love and purity. It has finally happened. I was patient. I waited so so long. I searched, casually of course, but searched. Watching, waiting for the right time. Then yesterday it finally happened. I was thrift shopping. Seeing what could be seen. Finding the good deals. I bought a cheap cassette player/ radio. Has one of those built in mics. That was my first recording device back in the day. I wonder if you can over dub on it like my old one could.

Any how, I've been collecting books on tape. Remember when it was books on tape? Catchy little phrase. I got Ivanhoe has read by veteran stage actor Steven Pickup. Got Star Trek: Vengence, written and read by William Shatner. I got a productions of Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth starring Leonard Nimoy and John de Lancie. Even snagged myself a performance of Mozart's Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute) as performed by the Berlin Philharmonic circa 1968. It has a nice case, and even comes with a booklet the translates the German lyrics to English and Italian. All these things and more for less than 4 dollars. We aren't talking serious fidelity, but what the who?

Oh, but that is not the real news. I was standing there waiting to pay for my goods when I saw. My heart jumped into my throat. My eyes fell wide open. Could it be? Could it fit? I ran over and grabbed it. I nervously put it on my head. Oh we are all familiar with my love of off beat head gear, but for this I have waited so long. Passing up lesser opportunities in hopes that one day I might find the perfect match, and here it is...

A George Straight Two Step!



This ain't no cock and bull cowboy hat, ladies and gentlemen. This is the kind you wear when you go to the kind of place where lusty country girls hang out, and you want to pick them up. This is the kind of hat you wear when you're opening for Kenny Chesney (quick note: I'm not actually sure who Kenny Chesney is beyond him being a country musician). This is the kind of hat you wear when you're the open plains, rustling cattle, and shooting at dudes named Flying Eagle.

Me and this hat are made for each other, and I look dang good! JOY!

Ok, yeah, he's playing two guitars at once, but all he's doing is series of hammer-ons and string bends. Still you should subscribe to Joel Samuals channel. He has all kinds of interesting stuff he's shot over the years.

Down and Out

Well there I was up bright and early only after two hours of sleep. I never sleep well before a job interview so I took 3 Tylenol PMs and even though I could barely move I still could not sleep. Somewhere around sunrise I drifted off for a couple of hours, and then prepared.

I was looking snazzy. In my Sunday best. My most clever looks all mapped out, and was even ready to break into a musical number should the need arise. Then about 10 minutes before arriving at what I was sure was going to be my new job I got a call. My friend who recommended me heard from his manager. Apparently the hotel is not doing so well in a financial type way. Not only will they not be hiring any one knew they're also cutting back on every ones hours. My dreams were shattered.

I saw all that free reading time going straight out of the window, and somewhere in the distance a telephone rang. Will it be telemarketing for the rest of my life? The idea sounds like suicide. Maybe I can use my will to work over night shifts, and apply that to another industry. I don't think a lot of people like over night shifts. I guess it just isn't in the cards for me. Hotel work that is. Beaten by the recession.

Here's a 14 year old girl yodeling. Do you like yodeling? I have a bit of an affinity for it. I could have yodeled in the hotel. What else could have been?

Pretty English Rose

Well life ekes as it does. It just ekes. Tomorrow I may have a new job. Working the front desk at a hotel during the over night shift about 3 or 4 days a week. I suppose I'll get a lot of reading done. Who knows?

As for newer new news I have none. But there is a new film review on my film review blog! Management! You all need to book mark that thing and check it like every 5 minutes so that I don't have to be my own personal cheer leader. If any of you want to request a film for me to review then so I shall. It'll give me practice! Practice!!!! PRACCCTTTICCCEEEE!!!

Now watch this when you're having a bad day, and will be well.

Love sick and heart broken again...

It's been a downer of a couple of days, and it's just sinking in more and more. On a quick note tomorrow I will begin uploading some stuff for download provided I get the chance, and find a convenient location for hosting music files. On the plus side I am now the dungeon lord, and I can finally put that chapter in my gaming history to bed.

I'll be looking for a job stating tomorrow. I have a few weeks of unemployment left so now is the time. Not to mention it would be nice to have some money to buy gift with this Christmas.

I will say that after watching 9 episodes of the 5th season of Lost that I wish they had spun the a separate series off when Sawyer and the rest of them ended up in 1974, before the the rest of the cast made it back to the island. We could have followed the quirky adventures of what was pretty much the most interesting members, both old and new, of the cast anyways. Think of all the nicknames that Sawyer could have come up with with such a large crew of people around.


Country and western does it like a man.
