I was called "sir" yesterday by an overweight parking lot attendant. I have resolved to wear the most feminine earrings I own every day for the rest of my life.

[spooky girlfriend]

That person must have been an idiot, Mood! Seriously. Must have been some mountain fog in the air or something. . .

[oily slick]

maybe he thought you were paul mccartney.

[mood swung]

you are soooooo off my christmas card list.

[spooky girlfriend]

Don't take that crap from him, Mood!

[oily slick]

SIR paul mccartney. from his mullet period.

Saw a glossy add today in Vanity Fair for a movie that will be opening on 9/18- "Bright Star" by Jane Campion-appears she has made a movie about the ill fated romance between the poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne-what caught my eye[beside the fact that someone would make a movie out of this material[I can only think of "Immortal Beloved" or that wretched film with Hugh Grant as Chopin traipsing along with George Sand] is the way it has been described as "the story of the original rock star, channeling male angst in a wholly original way that earned him an international reputation as one of the most creative minds of our time. His poems have influenced everything from rock to rap, art to film, prose to poetry slams and more, and they remain among the most widely read in English literature."-I have to laugh having recently finished Stanley Plumly's excellent study of Keats-"Posthumous Keats"-could not be farther from reality-this was a man who died ignomiously forgotten by the English poetry reading world-he even wanted his name obliterated as his stone has the epitaph "Here lies one whose name was writ in water"-rock star?- that he is now a revered poet is only due to the work of 20th century scholars-the only one who could bear such a comparison is Byron-Hollywood screws it up again.

wow! that was quite a random thought! my random thoughts generally involve kitties. or pie.

[Jack of All Parades]

Pie sounds good-maybe Key LIme? house is too full of cats an indulgence of the wife.

[spooky girlfriend]

I make a great Key Lime Pie. I like Coconut Pie, but no one else in the house likes coconut except for me.

[Jack of All Parades]

With meringue-that would seal it for me-all I can keep thinking of is Nilsson and 'the lime with the coconut'- now that would be some pie!

[spooky girlfriend]

Hmmm, very interesting thought. And "random" even.

You'll never be a man MDM...Hmm I could make a song from that

I hope you hit him with your handbag.

I have a whole week off and am really looking forward to spending time with Mrs and Mini VG. I can't believe she is 2 next month .

I am going to her singing class and her art class where I am looking forward to being Cool Dad amongst all the young mums

Last night's season opener of House was great. I usually don't watch the show, because each show is about a case that he needs to diagnose. In this episode he was the one being diagnosed.

[A rope leash]

House gave that little half-smirk at the end, like he was thinking he got away with something.

Great show.

[Mr. Misery]

SIR paul mccartney. from his mullet period.

That's when he recorded Mullet Kintyre.

random event: a scary looking man is busking (with an autoharp!) gospel music in the center office where I work. And whistling.

Listening to a bootleg today I realise how much I miss The Jam.

[Boy With A Problem]

Listening to a bootleg today I realise how much I miss The Jam.

especially now since the Jamm broke up.

[bambooneedle]

Got a good one from Dortmund, Germany. Can't help laughing at the punters calling out for Eton Rifles and chanting "we want The Jam, we want The Jam". They sound so fanboyish.

I'm thinking ESPN, the magazine, has discovered the female viewing population.



and I think that's a good thing.

No, not really. I don't need to see Ben Olsen naked, thank you very much!
