So O has discovered that VH1 sometimes has retrospectives on musicians that are several hours long. The "Ziggy Stardust" showing was part of a 3-hour David Bowie fest. Since he was home sick, he got caught up in a Twisted Sister marathon. He loves the music, and he loves Dee Snyder's voice. But the videos were intercut with current interviews with ( Read more... )

Saturday, June 13th

I woke up Saturday morning in some major obnoxious pain. My legs were a little stiff and sore (all that crouching, sprinting, and tumbleweed-leaping). And the sunburn...AAAAAARRRRGH!!! My shoulders were bright red. My chest was bright red. My arms were bright red. (Most of my face was mercifully protected by the bill of my ( Read more... )

Over Lux Interior.

I've been listening to the Cramps since I was Fenris's age. Not only do I love the music, but Lux's lyrics very playfully told me that, shall we say, certain aspects of my personality were OK. Maybe I WAS a freak, but freaks were cool.

Lux and Poison Ivy were together for 37 years.

Wow.

Back to crying now.

I took Fenris and Orion to Portland this weekend to see a play called "Ghosts of Treasure Island."  It was, of course, an interpretation of Treasure Island, with music provided by the eternally cool Captain Bogg and Salty. The kids really enjoyed it, and we had a great weekend.

One of the best things about going to a hotel, according to the boys, is ( Read more... )

This weekend I went to Vancouver, BC with a dear friend of mine. We had a blast. Once I download the pix from my camera, I'll post about it. But that's not what I'm blabbing about today.

Friday night we stayed up way too late talking, and the conversation turned to ghost stories. (Yes, gurls my age still do that when we get together.) These weren't ( Read more... )

Do half the ads on TV have some form of repulsive emo-folk saccharine crapmusic as their soundtracks at the moment? It's either some light-voiced girlie singing about her soul or love or angels, or some light-voiced dude singing about how he feels like a little boy because his girl is an angel, or some other variety of evil shit ( Read more... )

Check this out! E.J. Wells and Zac Helm (of the Denver Hearse Association) got together and made a music video of E.J.'s excellent song, "Hearsedriver." It TOTALLY rawks!

Ahem...and might I add that I introduced those boys...

We had a really nice weekend visit with

ACK, where has this week gone? It seemed like it was just Memorial day, and now it's the weekend after Memorial day.

Last weekend was pretty good. Did some major yard repair, worked on Dogtanamo Bay, and took the kids to the Pacific Science Center. I was felled by a gnarly headache Monday, which bit royally.

It's been an OK work week, but a bit weird ( Read more... )
