Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday

(If it helps … you can imagine the proceeding with me in a slinky dress and blond wig.)
Watch out for JOe, Amy!
Happy Birthday! As my dear old dad would say: “Hope you live a hundred years . . . hope you drink a hundred beers . . . happy birthday to you!”

The question of the hour is, do I treat myself to Sushi for lunch, which requires dressing and combing? Or do I just rustle up something here and stay grungy?
CW: This week’s Connor Chronicles. CRAP!!
Grungy is the MF way.
I compromised and had Sushi with bad hair.
Happy Birthday, Amy.
Saturdays are busy in Texas.
I enjoyed this song from the latest Dollhouse:

*raise glasses* to Joe
Hugh sez: We are raising glasses of water, we should get something stronger
no actually he wasn’t much of a drinker, he really loved root beer, Limoncello was the only liquor that is standing out for me in my memory that he liked. So water is cool :)
Hugh sez: Hey, at least its fancy water
it is! No plain lake Michigan water for joe. We’re toasting him with fancy LaCroix water.
Hey check that out, baby. It was almost exactly 6 hours since the last Deadpan post.
Hugh sez: Was everyone else watching basketball like us?

The keyboardist had the best dance ever!!! I loved him.
We were standing in the right corner and I watched him shake his butt all night.
Hugh sez: you were looking at another mans ass??
His ass had nothing on your ass, baby.
There is no video of the 2nd band on you tube
Hugh sez: That is lame
lemme see if there are any pictures.. there were tons of photographers there
Here is 1 shot of those sexy ladies
Hugh sez: *swooon*
Alvie told us the front woman has some PHD in something we wouldn’t ever understand, she is incredibly attractive AND has this awesome band. Some people have it all!
Hugh sez: *swooon2* She isn’t the only 1 who has it all. Beautiful, talented and and intelligent, sounds just like you baby.
awwwww *blush* you are SO biased!
Hugh sez: eh, maybe just a little.

peter piper picked a pack of pickled pork nipples
Van!
we just heard you with your stolen 70s lyrics
who is this with the pickled pork nipples?
Hugh, do you think there are show notes?
Hugh sez: Its doubtful. No offense Jack
:)
the female voice seemed familiar.. I will check now
Nope, no show notes but it did have this:
Text of Dan Shaurette’s tongue twister:
Peter Piper picked and packed a peck of pickled pork nipples.
Nipples of pork pickled and packed did Peter Piper pick.
If Peter Piper didn’t pack his pick of pickled pork nipples,
Then the people’s peepers would proceed to peer at Peter Piper’s prick.
His brain is gone!
Ah pan

Night TSHs, the sun is shining here.
night pan
morning Van

Morning Deadpan!
TSH! Agree with you on the Sushi policy – that’s a good one.
Disappointed with the US Life on Mars finale, wanted Sam to stay in 1973.
Saw a bit if the BBC 2nd take of “Life on Mars” (the one with the female detective in 1981).
It’s as well done as the original but having not seen the opening episode, I wonder how they explained this same thing happening to 2 different police detectives.
Ashes to Ashes
And not very well.
Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone! I had a good time in Key Largo, and at Epcot. Pictures are here:

I have exactly 3 “Face” songs in my iTunes library: “Time To Face The Music,” a filk by Steven Cavanagh, and “My Friend Chewbacca” and “Star Wars Toy,” by Unicks Face.
Gotta respect a show named after a Bowie tune. Although I’ve still never seen anything more than previews.
I’m glad we had a Smarty Hottie visit! And that you enjoyed your birthday weekend and travels, Amy.
I got the Black Freighter dvd from Netflix – the “Black Freighter” cartoon is even more gruesome and graphic than in the book. The story really doesn’t stand alone very well.
The “Under the Hood” featurette is excellent, however, with a number of characters from the book and film in extended roles.
Last night’s SNL was pretty damn funny. The Madonna/Angelina Jolie skit alone was hilarious.
David Byrne was perfect for this song:
http://www.spin.com/articles/new-song-david-byrne-parties-brazilian-girls
I think something similar has happened to Think Geek before:
http://www.avclub.com/articles/april-fools-joke-backfires-on-thinkgeek,26098/
And duh! Who *wouldn’t* want a plush tauntaun sleeping bag. So long as it smells better on the inside. :)
Apparently I missed the callout, but here goes anyway – face narrows down to eight entries in my Itunes. Though, I’ve just discovered that three of them are all the same song “Face in the Photograph” from three different Yanni CDs. Interesting.
Though, not as interesting as trying to figure out how “On our Own” by Bobby Brown from the Ghostbusters II soundtrack gets picked up by a “Face” filter.
The “face” thing was pretty spontaneous.
I don’t know what to make of this; a day where a bunch of things went really well. . . . . I’m a little concerned.
Morning Pan, well using the search function on the old Zen, the only track with face in the name is Faces by Lene Marlin.
Oh and here is the lady herself singing her hit:

A few subtle little jokes.

Good find, Jack.
Personally, I’m holding out for the all binary service. That whole alphabet thing is so stuck in the past.
Don’t be afraid to embrace the good, Jack.
I have 7 “face” songs. Four of them are different versions of Ani DiFranco’s “Untouchable Face,” which is a good one.

+8 right now, with an expected high of +14. Wooo Hooo!
Watched Tales of the Black Freighter yesterday and this is my comment: (possible spoilers but at this point, really…)
I know, at some point, they plan to cut Tales into the main movie, much like it is in the book, for an extended DVD version. I don’t think this will work, at least for a mainstream audience. While I know Tales is connected with Veidt, this is subtle. One of the connections, for me, between Tales and the main story is the creator of Tales was also involved in Veidts plans (albeit unwittingly). Because they removed that entire story arc from the movie, that particular connection is no longer there. It’s not like they can really return that connection since they changed the ending in the movie.
While intercutting tales within the movie will work for “fans”, as I said, for the mainstream audience, I don’t think it will work.
I only have one “face” in my i-tunes:
Let’s Face the Music and Dance – Diana Krall
Made cats happy. While still not really warm, I decided it was warm enough to open a window and let in a little fresh air. Now they are fighting over who gets to sit in the windowsill :)

If you got time to read through it, it is sadly amusing.
In the early days of the Internet, a guy finds that posting the antics of his neighbors on the Web is the only recourse he has left.

I’m not near my iTunes, but here’s 4 shuffle words from the iPod:
Twistin’ Another Flexible Dear
“Eyes Without a Face” – that’s the only Face in my iTunes.
EssBee is right that Jack should embrace the good.
Has anyone seen my TV remote or Xbox 360 controller?
Damn Gremlins.
Poor CJ is stuck watching “Gremlins” due to being unable to find the remote…

I went to aee Gremlins in a local theater last week – part of their retro-movie series. It was a blast to watch again, in spite of its massive hokiness. In spite of the breakdancing Gremlin scene.

Wow, good timing for a “Gremlins” joke. Actually Darcy and I watched it over the holidays and I wholeheartedly agree, including your POV re: breakdancing gremlin.

Hi Wolf!
Hello. Looking for poems…
Anyone have any suggestions?
Okay, really not too bad, this office was gigantic and empty compared to the one where I used to go near my old workplace.
I was out for 35 minutes and at least 15 of that was driving to & from the place.
“The Country” by Billy Collins is one of my favorites.

WNDR: I like IndieFeed’s performance poetry.
http://www.indiefeedpp.libsyn.com/
Customer: “When you say ‘total’ do you mean ‘TOTAL’???? This is SOOO confusing!!
WNDR there is a poet I know on Twitter named Cynthia Gould who has some stuff I like a lot. I DM’ed the @WNDRradio account with detail.
Me to EssBee’s Customer:”Sorry actually that is only half, but the second half must be paid in cash… small bills preferable.”
Sweet JB. Thanks I will check it out when I get home ;)
Hmmm. “Twitter is over capacity” message when I sent cyn a DM to give her a heads-up, then I couldn’t see the one I sent you either, so I will just say look for @cynthiagould
Deadpan is never over capacity.
Also, when you are censoring yourself from typing “ass” you do not need 5 characters. E.g., “I’m just covering my #$%!* and yours” is incorrect.
Actually Cynthia’s voice should be familiar to many Deadpanites, at least her singing voice, who can forget the immortal lines:
“I wanna chicken yeah
I wanna chicken hey
I wanna chicken ooh
I wanna chicken.”
I don’t avoid saying “ass.” Especially because it is one fewer character long compared to the milder “butt.”
That too, JB.
bum is quite short.
Kewwhip, JB.
When you say “Total”, do you mean the flavorless, yet enjoyable breakfast cereal?
you bet your @$# you covered your %#*@ with that one
oh, 5 letters.
Hmmm.
I can think of something that would work but not very well.
OOOH. Maybe THAT is what she actually meant! Thanks, JOe.
When I say “total” I mean “aphids.”

Pigs on the Wing (Part One) (Waters) 1:24
If you didn’t care what happened to me,
And I didn’t care for you,
We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain.
Wondering which of the buggars to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing.
Aphids- Don’t get me started.
I remember the Great Toronto Aphid Swarm of ’01…
Here’s a link…
http://www.ipm.uiuc.edu/bulletin/pastpest/articles/200120b.html
That’s nice, ditto.
Here’s one:
Joyful Girl (Ani DiFranco)
i do it for the joy it brings
because i’m a joyful girl
because the world owes me nothing
and we owe each other the world
i do it because it’s the least i can do
i do it because i learned it from you
and i do it just because i want to
because i want to
Pigs on the Wing (Part Two) (Waters) 1:27
You know that I care what happens to you,
And I know that you care for me too.
So I don’t feel alone,
Or the weight of the stone,
Now that I’ve found somewhere safe
To bury my bone.
And any fool knows a dog needs a home,
A shelter from pigs on the wing.
I’m mailing my 12″ braid to Locks of Love today. Kind of an ookie feeling sliding a Ziploc bag full of hair into an envelope.
One of the podcasts that I enjoy listening to is Explore Music, by Alan Cross. He’s been doing The Ongoing History of New Music for about 15 years now. It’s worth checking out if you like all kinds of music.
http://www.exploremusic.com/home/default.aspx
Anyway, the Friday Challenge last week was what albums are “All Killer No Filler”. In other words, the entire album is “perfect”. The 5 albums listed, and Alan fully admits that no one will ever agree about such as list, were:
Green Day’s “Dookie”
Guns ‘N Roses’ “Appetite For Destruction”
The Who’s “Who’s Next”
Led Zeppelin IV
Oasis’ “(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?”
It’s a good list.
What are your “perfect” albums?
Essbee rocks.
that is all.
Oooh, that’s a fun one, ditto. My five, right now, are:
1) The Clash – “London Calling”
2) Fleetwood Mac – “Tusk”
3) Pink Floyd – “Wish You Were Here”
4) Me’Shell Ndegeocello – “Cookie: The Anthropological Mix Tape”
5) Ani DiFranco – “Knuckle Down”
Just five? That’s hard.
Thanks, JOe. When I rock, I have a lot less hair to fling about, I’ll tell ya! It was a pleasure to farm all that hair for charity.
It was time for a change, given that I looked a little like a worn-out Janis Joplin.
Or, it was time for a change, given that I heard recently that I looked like Shannon Hoon.
Speaking of looks and hair, this is a concern: I have found that cutting my hair has made the grays VERY apparent. Yesterday, at the grocery store, the clerk called my better half my “daughter.” We are 3 years apart in age. It was a horrible moment!
EssBee – You are excellent!
If you were here, I’d do your hair for you!
Sharing my 5 “perfect” albums would probably just embarrass me since I have completely different taste in music than everyone else here.
OK – So… I’ll stand proud by my choices.
The Cure – “Japanese Whispers”
AC/DC – “Maximum Overdrive” Soundtrack
Various – “The Other Sister” Soundtrack
Cyndi Lauper – “Twelve Deadly Cyns…and Then Some”
Poe – “Hello”
I started going grey at 14, so get completely mystified when people worry about going grey.
Be proud of your age, it’s better than the alternative.
..and for that special TMI moment, I have grey hairs below the neck.
Totally agree, Van. I like the gray, but get a little shock every time I look in the mirror.
Cj, I knew a girl in college that looked EXACTLY like the singer for The Cure.
My “totally agree” was for Van’s first comment!!
OMG!
EssBee, I was completely infatuated with Robert Smith as a teenager so, of course, I found myself a boyfriend that looked just like him, eyeliner and all – He was so goth and dreamy!
Those were the days!
I looked like Shannon Hoon then too . . .
I don’t recall seeing those in you Flickr stream, CJ :)
Hah, Ed… He and I are still friendly – Not sure how much he’d appreciate me posting pictures … I’ll see what I can do though ;-)
Well I was talking about my chest hairs Essbee, what earth did you think I was referring to?
cough
Shannon Hoon is a mystery to me without a google search.
Stop. Can’t focus on my work with all this talk about Van’s chest hair.
Post google search:
very tragic.
