Wednesday
It’s the middle of the week. A couple of more days and it will the weekend once more. And I will be glad when it arrives. Not that this week is going badly; I’m just tired. And ready for some “down time.”

Song of the Day
Subdivisions by Rush, from the CD “Signals”

Stray Toasters

  • “The Real Folk Blues (part I)” is tonight’s episode of Cowboy Bebop. That means that tomorrow’s ep is the end of the series. *sigh* I wonder if they will loop the series again or if they will air something else in it’s time slot next week.
  • Anime Lyrics
  • It seems as if Lisa Marie Presley inherited her father’s lip curl – I wouldn’t go so far as to call it a “sneer.” (She was performing on The Late Show with David Letterman.) Of course, it could just be an affectation to cash in on a little bit of Daddy’s schtick. I don’t really know. At least she wasn’t trying to cop his hip-swiveling gyrations. She looked a little “temporarily not all there,” too. Maybe the apple really doesn’t fall too far from the tree after all.
  • “The Battle for Baghdad.” That was the title that NBC News gave to the special report that interrupted Law & Order tonight. It’s probably the same title that they have been using for the past few days, but as I have said: I haven’t watched much coverage of the war. Now, I remember why. I wonder if the powers-that-be were trying to go for something along these lines when they came up with that title.
  • And while I’m on the subject, it seems like (most of) the aforementioned battle for the Iraqi capital city is over. There are reports of minor skirmishes, but the city seems to be under the control of “Coalition Forces.” I think that is the first time that I have used that phrase since the war was initiated. But, I digress… Now, the real struggles will begin: The rebuilding of the nation and the search for the as-yet missing former ruler.
  • Creed. The band. The Christian rock band – I find it funny when people discover that fact and get the “deer in headlights” expression. I’m also more than mildly amused by something that I’ve recently noticed in the Creed song Higher. The chorus contains the lines:

    Can you take me higher?
    To the place with golden streets

    But, it sounds like he is singing

    Can you take me higher?
    To the place with golden streams

    …which isn’t too much of a mental leap from golden showers. And it almost always makes me laugh. I’m going straight to Hell. In a handbasket. And, most definitely wearing gasoline-enhanced underwear.

I believe that I shall now seek the gates of The Dreaming. Until next time…

Namaste.
