8-Track Mind

After a couple weeks I'm back, continuing to talk about music. This time: Karaoke!

Where've I been? Stressed and distracted. I'm better now.

I've been reading C.A. Bridges' weekly column in the Daytona Beach News-Journal Online since I ran across him while looking for a different person named Chris Bridges. He's amusing most of the time, but this week's 'Top Ten Really Dangerous Toys of 2005' really made me chuckle. Case in point:

#5 Furbys, by Hasbro. Yes, they're still around. And, like Luv Cubs, Fur Real Friends, Care Bears, and other cuddly automatons, they teach your children the valuable, never-to-be-forgotten lesson that loving, dependable companionship requires batteries.

Hey, if Sheldon doesn't like them either, I don't feel so alone.

Hey all! We're going to Woody's Taphouse in Braeside tomorrow for an evening of drinking heavily and singing badly at Karaoke! We'll be there from 8-9pm until they kick us out! Anyone want in?

Okay, comments are back on. Let's see if the bomb is still coming...

Commenting is turned off for now until this latest spam-bomb I'm experiencing goes away.

Have you seen this place? Pandora has analyzed thousands upon thousands of songs based on the musical styles and elements and helps you discover new songs and artists based on the sound you like.

Very cool.

A gem from McSweeney's. Hiding the Ball in Presidential Interviews: How the Liberal Media Can Finally Ask the Questions They're Dying to Ask.

The recollection of a childhood song prompted some musical memories from the past.

The stress level is getting to us both pretty bad. We're coping, but it's close.

Car is still dead. We've been looking at getting a new car, but a lot depends on the strike ending or Lisa finding some job that she can do while still picketing.

We're in serious people withdrawl. Too depressed to be outgoing, and no vehicle to go anywhere. Don't want to spend the weekend home again, but options are few.

Ugh, this sounds too depressing. I should post it on LiveJournal.

Okay, three things that made me happy so far today.

1. Samantha. She just wants to be near us at all times.
2. The original BBC Hitchhiker's Guide radio show on MP3. Makes for great C-Train listening. I giggled out loud.
3. My feet don't hurt. That pain I've had for months has finally faded away. Must be the new shoes.

This week's post is mostly for me. Go ahead and read it, if you are so inclined, but it's really just an exercise in remembering the good things in my life.

I kind of need it right now.
