Green-Tinted Sixties Friday

October 27 is the 300th day of the year (301st in leap years) in the Gregorian Calendar, with 65 days remaining... Can you believe it?? Another year has passed of just like that... just like that. It's very hard to take at times, I don't know how to deal with the reality of the passing of time and the whole age thing... it scares me alot if I begin to think about it, and then I start to obscess over it. So I have to concentrate on the trivial, and the funny stuff... Guess it's why I love comedy so much... helps me forget all that stuff. Today 1958 - Simon Le Bon, English singer (Duran Duran) was born. Oh man, Duran Duran... I was sooo in love with Roger as a teen ager, and then I switched to being in love with John Taylor (so fickle huh)... I still enjoy a Duran Duran tune now and then... I have always had extremely ecclectic tastes though, I can listen to a Burt Bacharach tune, and turn around and listen to Sepultura... go figure. Well, we have a big Friday ahead of us, so let's get to it... Have a great one... enjoy yourselves!!! -Aunt Jackie

By the way, I got this song stuck in my head the other day, by "Mr. Big"... can anyone explain to me what the lyrics mean?? It's called "Green Tinted Sixties Mind"... feel free to blab--

@Janet & Barnze: I feel both of ya on that one!

@4Dinz: No this one's not punk, it's more what we throw into the category of 'cock rock' (sort of a hair band)... I love punk myself, but this was one of those 'stuck in your head whether you liked it or not' sort of tunes-haha

When Potato Salad Goes Bad

Image
I have always loved Far Side cartoons... this one about Potato Salad going bad was one of my favorites. Just the mental image of spoiled food pulling a gun gives me a giggle. Larson rules. However, bad food in the fridge is sometimes no laughing matter. I recently let some broccoli sprouts go beggin' and they tried to take the entire household hostage, guests and all. Funny thing about broccoli sprouts, they are against guns and drugs, and totally for Animal Rights but they carry tazers. It's really confusing, and a lesson hard learned. :) So anyway, yeah another make up post I did for yesterday. So sue me... not that it makes a big impact. We've had internet connection problems, which are still ongoing. The technician arrived in decent time and said our equipment was o.k., and that there had been an issue going on in our area, here and there... they were working on it. Maybe it will be resolved soon. I sure hope so, it's just agitating and it goes down at the worst tim

Birthday Blast

Yes, I think I will just claim 15 again, and stay there. Looking back, my teen years were worry free. I mean, there was the bi-weekly broken heart and all, but geez. It was a time when people said, "You've got your whole life ahead of you." and it was still true... wait, well it's still true, just now there is less of it ahead of me. That's all. No, I actually didn't get a cake, or any kind of party... Didn't really care. Basically, I just took off two extra days and treated myself to a 4 day weekend in honor of my birthday. Today, June 22nd is the actual date. However, my honorary "celebration" of it began when I got off work Friday night. We met up with some friends at the Midtown Sekisui, and then came home to watch a few more episodes of "Weeds", a tv series that many of you are probably familiar with, one that my 'ol' man' got me hooked on. Finally we have finished the series thanks to Netflix Streaming , and can await

For those of us who are a slave to the grind, we've almost made it through another work week, that's a great blessing! For those of you who don't have to report to anyone for your paycheck, well it's another beautiful day, so enjoy! Richie went back to work today after Monday's oral surgery, still felt a bit loopy he said but all-in-all it has been a swift recovery. I'm glad... I did the best I could to take care of him. So the weekend is in sight, and I'm trying to think of fun things to do. It's so hot weather-wise, and I don't mean to complain but I hate feeling sweaty and smelly. I like being pleasantly fragrant and sassy. Nothing much to report otherwise, so I will let you go with a few cute graphics about the heat, one of which I stole from BBC's blog again (he always has the funniest cartoons). So there you go. Happy Thursday. v
