Song of the Week #2

heheh..

moon, moon, moon...

When I was a much shorter and more sensible person, I actually thought the moon followed me. I know that lots of kids (and, hell..maybe some adults, too) think this. It isn't uncommon. I REALLY believed it, though, until I started reading astronomy books and encyclopedias. The truth was immensely depressing, but it made sense. I mean, WHY would the moon pick ME to follow anyway? Surely there were other more important and interesting people out there for it to occupy its time with. Other people doing more exciting things with their time than Lego cities and epic Star Wars battles.
So I accepted that I was not special.
The older I get, though, I have to wonder... The above picture was taken last Monday night using my cell phone. I actually pulled over to take it, so that it might join 100 other photos of the Louisiana sky I've been collecting for almost two years now. It didn't look very blue with the naked eye. What happened?
It followed me home and all the next day. What do the books know, anyway? ;)

Song of the Week #1

Ok..so I was thinking I'd post a song I can't get out of my head once every week. In actuality, there are lots of songs I can't get out of my head in the span of one week, but I can't possibly inflict them all on the world (or..well..all two people that read this goofy blog, which counts as my world *grin*). I guess I'll be finding them mostly on YouTube, so I apoligize for that in advance. ;)

Without further ado..

I look better with some bacon and grits (with SYRUP!!).





The 115 degree heat index, with actual temperatures around 101, has made me as much of a shut-in as I'm able to be. Convenience stores and take-out have become my sources of sustenance. My trash was so stuffed with styrofoam containers, energy drink aluminum, and fatty snack wrappers that anyone happening to wander in might assume a small herd of video game programmers lives here.
This week I am made of hummus and stuffed grape leaves, pico de gallo and jalapenos, hamachi and seaweed salad, beer from four different countries, Red Bull and Monster, and M&M's and Reese's Cup ice cream. If I don't buy groceries soon, I fear what might be next. Redi-Whip straight from the can? Ramen Noodle? Indian food??! 8-/
