Surely everyone has heard about these before. But, they’re worth another look since the election is so close. They always crack me up until I realize that the guy who is saying these funny things is the leader of the free world. Yikes.
here we go steelers
Here we go.
Hooray–the Steelers beat Dallas today. Sometimes I watch Dallas games just so I can root against them. It’s always sweeter when a team I like beats them, though.
Jake, however, was not rooting for the Steelers (don’t tell Pappy Law). He decided that he “likes that team Shawn likes”. Just don’t quiz him on the name of the team…
The Dark Tower VII
“The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.” So began the greatest literary series in history. I finished The Dark Tower VII this afternoon and was not disappointed. It seems that I’ve been reading the series for about as long as Roland has been searching for the tower. What an incredible journey. Reading the last book in the series only makes me want to start over again!
Thankee-sai Stephen King. I can only hope your retirement is a temporary distraction.
my favorite pastime
Vacation is officially over. This afternoon, I finished painting the library. Can I hear an amen?
While I was painting, I also had a mean marinara sauce simmering on the stove. Yum. While it was cooking, Jake remarked how delicious it smelled. Then, when it was time to eat supper, he said, “You were cooking sauce?!? I thought you were making food!” Needless to say, he ate his pasta plain.
(a)pathetic
That’s the name of the new Rottenstone song, of which I recorded the guitar this evening while drinking a Margarita (it is Friday night, you know). It’s a song about voter apathy (pretty appropriate for this time of the year). The recording during the first half of the Margarita sounded much better than the second half (I start sounding like Jimmy Buffet after a Margarita. For those of you who think this is a good thing, sadly, it is not), so we ended up fixing my mistakes rather than trying to re-record the song. I’m anxious to hear what it sounds like to a sober ear tomorrow.
Somehow the recording session took a “Right Turn” into a Stone Rotten session where we jammed on songs like “Doll Parts” for about “Twenty Minutes”. It was rather fun. We really need to start the Stone Rotten thing up again. For those of you who don’t know, Stone Rotten is our (me & Brian’s) acoustic cover “band”. We normally play to an audience of none, in case you were hoping to catch one of our performances.
