aloha ct — how’s paradise tonight?

hey nahant — next week’s glimpse sure looks intense! how ya doing?

75°F | °C
Current: Partly Cloudy
Wind: N at 0 mph
Humidity: 62%

Muggy…! ;-)

43 and drizzly/light rain no wind to speak of

Hey S. – how’s keeping the cyberstreets safe for beach bums like CT tonight?

;>)

I posted a new diary… Rolling Up The Taliban? ;-)

I’m anxiously awaiting the Frontline episode on the Taliban tonight…! ;-)

hey db — how’s the great north tonight? gotta have your ‘frozen’ to balance ct’s ‘paradise’ yanno

tis a fine diary ct — i recommended it dood

One ringy dingy, two ringy dingys. Pull your plug six pack by six pack. Although that was off of the album(remember them?).

*heh* I’m a Beach Bum in more ways than one…! ;-)

sure does!! We be doing great, you?

Mahalo, M’dear…! ;-)

“. . . privileged information? Isn’t that cute? (snort, snort)” Hi, suz.

hey drouse — how ya doing? i loved comedy albums (trip down memory lane)

Did you see the Frontline episode? We were crushed.

You can always tell springtime is just around the corner in Calgary when the dogshit in the snowbanks starts to thaw out, Suz.

;>)

Hah! I love “Ernestine” but hadn’t seen that one. Terrific!

Hi Suz!

hahahahahaha

hey ce — how’s ohio tonight?

How those nice folks tolerate your playboy ways, I’ll never know.

;>)

CE – they’re singing “Thank Heaven For Little Girls” now!

O lard!

I love her! Thanks Suz…I remember seeing her act at college campus in NM. Very very funny.

hey oregondave — good to see your fonts again. how ya been?

And Don’t eat the Yellow snow….

Still hasn’t aired here in the Isles…! In about an hour it will…! ;-)

hey kelly — how’s denver tonight?

Oh, so cold again. But with the wonderful additions of mud, rain, freezing rain, and also more snow. Good heavens, will some sweet handsome man sweep me off my feet and take me somewhere warm?

hey margot — how cool! i’m thinking this was around 67 or so…. when did you see her?

*heh* They keep telling me I’m a ‘thread killer’…! ;-)

Warming up. Was 4 this morning on the porch, but got to 42 today. Sunny! It’s been snowy….

And all that red again! But we still loved it! MrCE says, can you ever remember anything as lovely?

I’m doing alright. I used to get them as gifts for birthdays and Xmas. Lily Tomlin, Bill Cosby and Flip Wilson. To this day I still get these lines that pop into my memory. Sort of like Arlo Gutherie.

Heh – trolling for Gaston!

Was fun to see that movie again. Been forever.

bill cosby and bob newhart

Life’s good. Laughing after going back to see the rest of Lily. Thx for the giggle.

Been forever, sigh, yes.

Shelley Berman. “How about a marteeeniee?”

The twenty seven eight by ten color glossy photos with the circles and arrows and the paragraph on the back of each one telling how it would be used as evidence against me.

glad ya liked it :) figured we could use the laugh — its been a week and it is only tuesday — lardy don’t even wanna think about thursday and the ‘summit’

Maybe 72 or 73? Can’t remember really, that’s my best guess.

and the seeing eye dog… justice *is* blind

sophie tucker — a trip around the world is not a cruise

And Don’t eat the Yellow snow….

But it’s so cleverly camouflaged under the brown crust!

…

‘thread killer’…? Careful, Tuttle, ‘the sheriff is near’. You wouldn’t want to spill the beans on yourself like Bum Ticker Dick, now would you?

;>)

apparently not — gonna have to count on 6 — metaphorically speaking of course

OK, So I gotta call out the funkiness of hanging out at FDL.

In the last hour:

- I was watching “Gigi” with CE
- Lisa Derrick read my Tarot Cards
- There was a brief bit about bank regulations
- I was looking again at this John Waters’ link I sent to Lisa earlier
- Suz cracked me up with a Lily Tomlin bit

How much can a mere mortal take? *g*

Hi, Suz. Good evening, pups. How’s oregon weather, Suz?

Yeah, that’s about right. My first two years of high school.

hey pastfed — light rain that’s gonna hang around for several days — yours?

drouse, so do I. Good memories.

dood

Ditto that…! I liked the slip…! ;-)

abe vs madison avenue

We all just luvs ya Kelly! Now watching Persuasion from last Sunday…

Been pretty dry here lately, the jet stream’s been pushing the snow and rain to the central and southern part of the state. We could use the moisture here in the mountains, we’re below normal.

arlo

which mountains? the rockies?

And we all know what the 6th could mean – ‘put another thug on the fire‘.

;>)

Where The Fuck is his GD coffin?? Shit is he like a cat?? nine lives and all.. well the fucker has used five… can’t wait for the other four!! be quick now dick Quick now!

6 is a magic number (sung to 3)

*gentle reminder to prevent future problems*

Yes, the Wasatch (Utah) range of the Rockies.

Now now. We all know we aren’t supposed to go there. But I know what you mean.

I know but I am tired of waiting already…let Mother nature do her thing… i know… sigh..

Speaking of which, I’m assuming “fa**ot” is not a mod approved term.

It’s on this thread. http://fdlaction.firedoglake.com/2010/02/23/public-option-hot-potato-continues-gibbs-tries-to-stop-public-option-by-blaming-ten-unnamed-senators/#comments

beautiful country — especially after crossing nevada on 80.

my youngest was down in st george for a couple years but is now up near ft collins colorado — thinking about bible college in wyoming. this is her first ‘real’ winter (laughing)

Bright Lights, Big City…

looking… thanks

thanks kelly — edited and mod-noted

Truth be told, I never thought of Dick as feline.

;>)

i’ve been looking for taj’s josephine or scratch my back. if ya see either one of those dood — let me know

If I can sift through all that Indian music…! ;-)

where is Elmer when ya need him?? he sure does lurve him some wabbit.

ha! purple is so not his color

Ernestine!

Suz, you’re psychic. Had her on my mind today….fuck the telephone company.

If Ft. Collins weather is anything like Cheyenne, Wyo, then it’s cold, cold. And Denver’s been getting lots of snow too.

hey sunny — buncha forking peeping tom vampires trying to suck as much money outta us without as little service possible

i told her to consider this winter as just a snack sized taste for winter in wyoming *laughing*

Good Night.

You’re in Cheyenne?

OMG – we must klatch. I’m in Denver, family center’s in Upton/Sun Dance.

I’m Big in Japan

Think Barney Frank. I’m hunting wapublicans.

g’nite oregondave — love that song dood

hey mr why — always a pleasure — how ya been?

Bambo may be our last best hope to end this war, nahant.

;>)

Home from work & rehearsal. Beautiful late winter days here. It was 65 degrees F in my greenhouse today at 2:30 p.m.

Thanks for the help last week. You give excellent advice.

hey et — how ya doing tonight?

Good night oregondave, thanks for that pretty song.:)

Excellent. Ms. ET is in Kenai and Seward for the week, helping young teachers. I’m furiously writing music and creating & editing 116 orchestral parts. And working.

Thank you, Suzanne. Lily Tomlin is a hero of mine. ” What’s reality? It’s just a group hunch,right?”. My motto!

yikes! busy indeed dood. does your musical editing have a deadline?

hey openhope — how ya doing tonight?

No, I’m in SLC. But I’ve been driven through Cheyenne a couple of times in winter. I-80 is not a fun drive if you happen to hit Cheyenne (or Laramie) when it’s snowing, which I’ve done once.

iirc, isn’t SLC still in your territory?

I am weighing going with a bundled service from Time Warner, and really doing away with AT&T. Only thing that worries me is if we get a glitch in the toobz, I will have to rely on a cell phone (have to buy one just for that).
But I’d save $$.

You’re quite welcome, ET. Having stepped (figuratively) on some landmines in my time, if I can help ease someone else off of one even in some minor way then it’s a good day.

;>)

to avoid my getting that fucking 100 again(!) i’m not gonna say anything until someone else snags it

drastic measures are called for

We start rehearsing Hindu Kush next Tuesday at 7:15 p.m. Deadlines are one of the, if not the best, sparks for inspiration.

is it open season??? Better get prepared..some wabbit & wapublican stew mmmmmmmm.
carrot turnip parsnips onions garlic taters… did I forget anything??

Did I hit the “#100″ land mine?

*whew* congrats on snagging the 100 nahant

sigh…

sigh

Drastic…? ;-)

its only a land mine when i hit it et

with a recipe for wabbit & wapublian stew!!

Whew – just missed it. I could open a new front with the landmines I’ve encountered, Darkblack…

i hit both the 100 and the 200 on my sat nite thread

Well, the better half and I are swapping positions… I get the TV for Frontline and she gets the computer…! I shall bid ya’ll a fond adieu…! ;-)

aloha ct

aloha ct

evening, Suz

Yeah – trying to figure out when to get there again.

Prolly late March- goody – late heavy snow!

I am outta here also.. nite pups..

hey ppd — how’s the south south bay tonight?

ProstrateDragon posted a Miles Davis track on an EW thread – Great Expectations from Bitches Brew

g’nite nahant (token says woof to tucker)

that is sweet

night, nahant

Some people see the minefields and put on their tap shoes, ET.

;>)

miles davis walkin

If deadlines aren’t the spark of inspiration they’re definitely the catalist for nailing it down. Good luck, it’s awesome what you’re doing!

good night, nahant.

Nicely said :-)

My uber-progressive cousin is convinced they are doing their damndest to force us off hard-wired phones.

My spell check doesn’t like damndest and offered damnedest — is that right?

good — going for the gold again tonight

no forking spelling police allowed down here in the comments — my spellchecker does not like dayam but fork doesn’t bother it at all

sunny what with cell phone gps’ ability to track ya and listen in as a microphone when ya think the phone is inactive — there is no more need for hard wired phones to wiretap.

I do love your work, your snark and your wisdom, Darkblack. I can’t wait until we meet.

We might work together on a multimedia work like this one, but about the Crazy Woman.

Eh…?

Oh, dial-up’s like speed dating yourself, only slower. Night, all.
We get high speed in our neighborhood next week. I haven’t had butterflies of excitement like this in a long time.
Yes,Virginia, there is a Santa.
Sweet dreams.

ET – I listened to the War Dirge, and now the 1st movement Bamyan.

There’s a certain “redemption” quality in the 1st movement from about 4:50 to 5:50. What’s that about?

I see where you wrote:

As the dust settles, nothing has really changed. The statues weren’t idols. They weren’t representations of something indifferent to Allah. They were merely symbols of the devotion of the people who created them, representations of what those people had believed. The destruction changed nothing. Perhaps, even, their destruction completed the missions of those who created them.

Because that section above (4:50 – 5:50) is a bit different from the finish.

That is one of the funniest and best things I’ve ever seen, imho. Your skin tones are to die for (literally lol)

g’nite openhope

your artwork is darn good margot — done anything new lately?

Unfortunately, that’s the Taliban whooping it up after they blow the Buddhas…

Sorry if that disturbs your imagery. The dust settles by 5:50.

Well, I’ll be damned!

OK – I get it.

Interesting interviews. A war to change the culture. Against Jihadists has far reaching implications CT. Thanks for the latest.

rock n roll damnation

hey bb — how ya doing tonight?

No, I need to look at things, new things, so I can draw again.

so get to looking margot — i want more :)

hiya margot

Indeed, the Crazy Woman…A more apt appellation would take quite some time to conjur. I rather enjoyed the Katrina Hexachord…It captures the whimsically desperate moments of Junior’s stain upon history quite evocatively.

Now, which chair sneezed at 11:14 in the Dirge?

;>)

Good. Doing my 1.5 hours hot yoga every day, coming home for a nap to mend the streched ligaments and tendons. We push pretty hard. Get have a little food and another nap. Get up do some yoga stretching and reading, the cool yoga is nice. Made some veggie juice from garden and farmer’s market produce. I keep a 8oz jar in the fridge it is so powerful take an ounce or so. Lights up the bloodstream nice and warm. getting loooser can do full Lotus comfortably now so will start meditating too.

Yes Ma’am Suz. Hiya PPD.

Skin tones? With all that phony makeup, Margot? Thank you.

;>)

feels like OR down here tonight, Suz

Hi folks! So one of the radio hosts that I’ve been battling for years was fired last week. Lee Rodger’s was fired from KSFO 4 and 1/2 months before his contract was up.

Management won’t say why, but talk about lower revenue (which btw, was my strategy all along– focus on reducing their advertiser revenue and management won’t keep them unless there is a sugar daddy, in straight business terms you don’t keep an asset that isn’t producing) Rodgers says that there was “an obvious cave-in to some ultra-left and pro-Muslim groups, making it unlikely that I would have ever renewed my contract with the company, anyway.”

Ultra-left, hey that’s me! What is especially funny is that he is going to his union to pick up his case. He has attacked unions for years, especially the teacher’s union.

It’s funny, management can’t say the real reason for contractual reasons, Rodgers can lie because he doesn’t have to tell the turth.

Joe Garofoli did a follow up story in the Chronicle where I responded to Rodgers’ comments.

rain here is supposed to last through friday and is iffy afterwards — depending on the the next front splits and sends ya more rain (per our weather dood).

Love the bearded lady.

The cough was one of my students in the audience. Got 5 points added to her term paper for adding a special effect.

hey spocko — holy moly finally but geez, whatta hypocrite that smarmy snake is…. going to the union must mean he thinks it is fightable and not financially based.

well done, spocko — sounds like we’re finally getting around to enforcing the Clear Airwaves Act.

There’s something not right about her which I try to capture – It’s a perception I’ve had since she was placed so indelicately on the public stage, and as her behaviors and affiliations are further revealed, the diminishment grows. The story at Immoral Minority about the baby ears has certainly caught my attention of late.

;>)

f the fcc

Yikes DB. I get night terrors that aren’t as scary as that.

Fresh onion, garlic, carrot, cabbage, yellow and red peppers, tomato veggie drink, Bragg’s amino acids, swiss chard, green drink powder (kelp, dulse, spirulina, oat grass, alfalpha powder, rice, barley, Kamut, wheat grass, veggies, dandelions, chlorella and brussel sprouts.) Put them through a juicer. Organic and better than vitamins. Great energy drink.

It’s what happens when you take a step to the Right, Margot.

;>)

night all – stay warm & dry

g’nite ppd

love that tune db

Oops forgot the cucumber. Now my secret energy drink is for everyone. Keep some in the fridge. Go out and pick a bunch of wild herbs and grasses and add to the mix and allergies begone.

I played it on the weekend at a corporate gig and it packed the floor – I couldn’t believe it, all those suits hopping away like dervishes.

;>)

twas a fav at the pd christmas party (along with the chicken song for some reason)

Sorry, I wondered off for a few..

Margot I have an emergency cell phone that belongs to ATT, but is contracted through an old fashioned local tel co-op. $1 a day plus time on any day I use it, otherwise no charge. Put $100 on it months ago, most of it is still there. Best part is I get to deal with real people.

It’s a pretty expensive plan for regular use, but perfect for me. I initially got it when I was on dial up and making friends and family crazy when they tried to reach me.

OK… :-)

’bout time for me to head out folks. g’nite all and thank you for the music and conversations tonight

see ya thursday *poof*

Nite, Suz.

;>)

Morning suz!

Re: cell phone privacy..
What kind of fuckery is this?

can’t wait.
