Aloha, Suz…!

aloha ct — how’s paradise tonight?

Soooo nice, Suz!

hey loohoo — how’s socal tonight?

i figured maybe we could all use something soothing tonight

Steam Roller

So 5 resumes went out on Tuesday after being disappointed by offer not coming in. Two long phone screens scheduled for next Tuesday already which is pretty good news considering there is a holiday on Monday. Resume went out for 4 more positions yesterday and today, have 3 more leads.

It’s freezing up here…! With high winds to boot…! ;-)

hey senator — how’s sac tonight?

hey wmd — how’s the mt tonight? and yay!!!

Just driving by – T-Bone Walker‘s birthday the 28th.

brrrrr starting to warm up here — actually got up to 63 today and no wind!

Very soothing. Really a nice choice.

Still wearing socks here.

Priming Jukebox early tonight.

hey mr why — love tbone — and g’nite *waving*

Madeleine is smooth…! ;-)

chilly and wet. Not your usual end of May. I have heard more than one person say they might as well be living in Seattle.

dance me

I was looking at the radar of the North Pacific and it looks like another big storm is barreling into your neck of the woods…!

Disappointment is part of life, not much to do but get back to it… Also heard back from phone screen at end of April – they expect an offer to be accepted, but also expect more positions to open up soon. And if offer isn’t accepted they’re interested in me.

I think I need to take a break for reading all news. Too depressing.

supposed to rain friday and then be dry until mon or tue…

Best wishes for you scoring a great job, wmd.

hey spocko — put a quarter in the jukebox and let the music take ya away

how’s the city tonight?

More for the jukebox.

yup — and sometimes doors (plural) have to close before the right door can open.

thanks. It’s been way too long since I’ve had income from a job.

he’s a way too underappreciated musician

I’m Sooo happy for you!!!!

Guess I’m in a DJ mood. Here’s another.

I have to do that too, spocko. Google whatever you feel like reading about and relax. Or YouTube some music.

Here’s a look-see…! ;-)

i’ve not heard this before…. nice

looks like next week is gonna be wet

thass ok — i don’t melt (contrary to what ex-husband #2 claims)

I’ve been good at getting interviews. Since October I’ve been getting at least a phone screen every month, and have had 3-4 hour follow up interviews 5 times.

And then they see someone that looks better on paper or who knows what.

Think I’ll cut my hair.

Yesterday I went into Manhattan to get my hair cut (all of them). Here’s my ‘stylist’s’ creative outlet. Buy many, he’s a really great guy.

Got back to the country & it was still 86 degrees at 9:30p. Read in the gazebo another couple of hours, when it was still high in the 70s. Luckily tonight is cooler, as I don’t have a/c.

SF is nice right now. It was rainy before.

Sigh, I had a pal, a fest pal, who dies in his mid 50′s, back in ’02 or so.

He was a HUGE Madeline fan, and he was the one who turned me onto her, and her music on KPIG.

It took me a LONG time to like Madelne, but I do.

And my pal Walker is grinnin on my conversion.

Nice pick, Suz, bless ya . . . . as always!

*G*

hair

hey ecahn — how’s upper new york state tonight?

hey larue — glad ya liked it. how ya doing tonight?

More Ex Fab Four.

I knew you’d pick up on that segué.

REminds me at times of a female Lenny Cohen, somehow.

another ex

Cooling down, thank goodness; no a/c. Was hotter in the mid-Hudson yesterday than in Manhattan!

i think that’s a cohen tune — iirc she sang it at the juno awards or something in canada that was celebrating his music.

there’s a utube i saw of it

I guess I’ll keep with the Fab Four.

found it

I bet he has some interesting pics on his walls…! ;-)

Well, since we’ve covered all four… time for something different.

*sigh* am i becoming predictable?

love tom

vine

I gave you a nice fast ball right across the plate, of course you’ll swing and connect.

You know when Digby, Atrios and Krugman get depressed you know it’s not just us.

Hey Suz, eCAHN, everyone.
It’s hot and muggy here. There was a graduation ceremony in a nearby city and a few people passed out from heat exhaustion.

I heart Steve Earle . . . .

Rodney Crowell, But Steve At His Left

Earle, Young, N Crowell

Lord when we and they were young Maggie . . . . .

Lord.

I’m really fascinated by the ‘secret’ lives of people we know in only one context. Victor has been cutting my hair for maybe 15 years. I’ve known he was also a photographer and have visited his website. We have exchanged stories about financial markets (my field), his family (very creative) and all sorts of wonderful conversations. When I brought in his book yesterday to get him to autograph it (I told him I would be doing so), he asked me what my first name was and how to spell my surname. Wow, just wow. Secrets remain, I guess.

holy cow, i think he’s gonna make it

hey margot — yikes, you drinking lotsa water etc?

Where?

Mid-Hudson, 99 degrees during the day before June begins, gotta convince someone of something.

What gets me is for all the deficit peacocks, none of them say how productive capacity is going to come back. Look at where hot money is going… there really aren’t problems with bond vigilantes now, and probably not until unemployment goes below 7% IMO.

*G*

Oops. Forgot Victor Friedman website linky.

Jump to the Left.

Read Freefall by Stiglitz for how insane U.S. is.

time

want to thank harry reid for promising multiple times to finish the jobs bill before going on vacation.

Once when I was riding a horse in Audubon Park (NOLA) in the middle of the summer I fainted. Or swooned. Feel right off that horse. Another time I was standing in line for a poboy and fell right over. I gave up horses but not food.

hey dGkJm — how ya doing tonight?

*lets all turn and give harry the one finger salute* geez he’s fucking useless

‹^› ‹(•¿•)› ‹^›

yikes — hope ya landed on something soft when ya swooned off that horse. was it the heat or something else?

And we are having the most kewl spring and longest spring in Sacto CA Valley since ’88.

Go figger, ma’am.

Wishin ya cooler temps . . . .

Classic being played in Suz’ neck of the woods a few years ago.

I gave a guest lecture to an MBA class about “Using social media for social justice” they were very curious about staying anonymous.

I know that the right wing use your background against you so they can attack you. The other thing is how I think that some people on your side will be disappointed when they find out who you really are. I of course often only look at the dark side. On the positive side maybe people who would hire me would feel better knowing my professional background.

spocko — dotty oliver has a new diary up and she talks about how seeing the talking pundits verifies how fucked things are:

Well, as you can see by the national television news all the pundits are now in the fray. When I saw that creepy guy James Carville screeching across the screen, I knew we were doomed once again to mediocrity. The carpetbaggers are out in force, trying to make a buck and act like authorities to get their faces on tv. They are busy setting up a system to skim the money from the top before the real victims get any. The real faces behind this tragedy don’t want to be photographed.

a wee bit south and east of me — gosh i have always had a soft spot for that song

LOrd, you and the other Wait’s fan . . . covered them all but for Night Hawks.

A Side Ways Glance . . . Coffee N A Roll

Waits, at his best. So long ago.

Nice work.

Nothing dark about the relationship between Victor & me & nothing secret. Just his lack of curiosity about me. I checked him out online, bought his book. He didn’t even know my name after 15 years. Astonishing.

heat and humidity. I am a humid being.

naw, we missed this one

Digby N Atrois are now proven shills for the veal pen.

Is there a point?

;-)

Yes. Very creative. Not my taste, but I’m perceptive enough, and have spent enough time in NYC, to appreciate his images.

The other day on a Thers threat i think I was talking about how I would facility getting Rush off the air if someone wanted to hire me and let me execute my plan. Some one suggested a rich person on the Right who thinks Rush is bad for the Party. I hadn’t thought about that. It made sense. The left won’t pay, they Like them in place to push against. Rush is more powerful than Senators. They have to apologize to him!

Is that right! Wow! I haven’t visited either website for eons. Wouldn’t have thunk it!

Wow! I had to save that!

Lord I hope the rest of yas got laid under there . . .

I did. ;-)

Oh, Mary, mee too. Humid is the pits.

Not mine. Didn’t save (on purpose?) the originator!

whenever i think of baseball and music, i think of that song…

How could anyone trust someone married to Mary Matalin? Married, with children.

Short and sweet.

This happened in Columbus, Ohio. The high was 89, normal for this time is 77. Way warmer than usual.

i hate hot and humid. it just makes me wanna lay in a tub fulla ice day and nite with fans blowing. ya might as well cause ya aint gonna dry off with those forking damp towels

another new to me one :) thank you

spawn of two devils. Geez. wonder what those children look like.

Oh I don’t think they are, they are just chronicalers of the stories. Good BS detectors. And good analysis.

More jukebox fodder.

Why do you say that? I’d totally disagree.

happy 100 spocko!!!

It’s not looking too hopeful…! There’s multiple leaks springing up on the BOP…! 8-(

give me an f

Hven’t read Dotty’s latest, but this was obvious from day one of the explosion.

And I don’t mean to be disparaging, but the coverup and shilling had to be obvious to all once Obman was elected, announced his cabinet picks, and appointed the rest.

We live in a fascist system, and until the masses decide to change it, it won’t be changed.

“Let me sleep on it, baby bayb . . . ”

*G*

I’ll give ya my answer in the morning . . . . ;-)

For Suz.

Those kids must be conflicted!

aw thanks wmd — i’ve not heard that one before. great tune

You don’t ever stop, do yas . . . *G*

OK. Gotta turn in. Company arriving for dinner tomorrow (oops tonight) followed by full house & big BBQ on Sunday.

If anyone finds a honeybee roaming forlornly in my house, please pick her up gently, carry her outside, and instruct her to fly north about 200 yards to her new McBeeMansion. Two of them came inside with me, and they need help finding their new home.

SPOCKO!!!

g’nite ecahn — hope your bees find their way

Dang, you dare mock my snark?

*raisesfist*

Aloha, eCAHN…! I might see ya on the other side of this evening…! ;-)

I feel like singing. Envision the Proclaimers singing 500 miles and change the lyrics to I will post one hundredth time…

Totally disagree with ya.

Won’t go into the evidence why, take me too long to present it.

;-)

We need pics of the bee McMansion, eCAHN!

More new music?

sing

dance

Well Loo Hoo and I will probably like to know but it is late.

It might have to do with a definition of the phrase shill and veal pen.

500 Miles.

It is getting late. Ciao.

g’nite wmd — fingers and toes crossed dood

I’m dying to find out how this Nikki Haley thingy turns out!

Something very strange about these South Carolinians and their sex.

another 500

Nighters. Best luck on the job search.

they really are into some strange stuff loohoo and have had an impact on language describing it. i’ll never be able to say hike the appalachian trail with a straight face again

One more, tying back into thread’s title song.

That was nice, thanks!

Because if you read their places pre election of ’08 and post, you’d see for your self.

A media analysis would also show their posts and comments at their places for the veal pen they are.

They support status quo politics, and Marshall and Amato have done so, for a while now, post Obama’s Election.

And Obama has NOT fulfilled his progressive promises campaign wise, he’s failed them, miserably.

If I have to stop and detail any of this, we can’t talk.

Cuz it’s painfully obvious that Obama is a corporate shill, and that Amato and Marshall and Digby and others continue to speak in the Obamabot way.

If you disagree, you haven’t been paying attention to people who have writing and commenting on this subject.

And no, I don’t have bookmark saves on THIS topic. I have them on any other number of issues.

But it never occurred to me I’d need to save linky’s to argue with progs about Obama, or Digby, or Marshall, or Amato in regards to their levels of progressivism, given how phreakin obvious they all are.

Sorry, but I really disagree with ya, on this one Loo . . .

Yep, n that’s how shit’s done.

End of story.

it would make for a fascinating diary dood

i’m just saying…

Won’t open on MAC’s, you got any text to share on what your posit is?

You know we depend on yas . . . . ;-)

I’m more interested in big red meat I can snitch and take to some corner to munch on.

*G*

try this one — is what i’ve been using to watch

Try this one…!

or this one

Working on a Macbook pro, Opera browser – have to allow CNN to open a popup.

I’m sorry, if I have to explain anything about my position regarding the veal pen, then folks have not been reading FDL or any of my comments for the past few years . . . .

*G*

A lovely song, and I miss Mary Travers a lot. A whole lot.

Every little bit hurts
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi3DMbsZqiY

every body hurts

That hole on the left side has grown larger within the past hour…! It looks like they’re trying to plug it with the ROV…!

i don’t have a good feeling about this

Not in my wanting . . . it’s all been done long before I came along.

I just don’t see the need to diary what’s already been done by others.

I so disagree with Loohoo on this, and it’s ok.

FDL has done it all . . . no need for me to defend anything I say, that’s so obvious and been done before.

But thanks ma’am . . . . I appreciate your suggestion . . . . . I’ll stand on FDL having said so, long before I commented on it . . . ;-) About many an issue . . .

Well, here’s Digby’s site right now. Which article is veal penny, Larue?

dayam, watching that feed is like watching a train wreck… hard to turn away from it

Me too. This is absolutely sickening to contemplate.

Drilling mud is somewhat abrasive, so holes will get bigger over time.

There does seem to be some oil coming out, but I’m not sure if the darker material is oil, gas, mud or junk shot material. We also don’t know how much mud is being injected still, some of it isn’t going to go down the bore hole.

I guess I’m saying there’s still hope that the flow can be stopped before the relief wells are complete.

Yep, been watching that WKRG feed for a week or more. I just don’t believe in the NPR feed, although EVERYONE is showing it, for now, as Top Kill was implemented today.

More importantly, I’ve been reading Oil Drum along with Bmaz posts, and more.

FDL has had great scoops, and Oil Drum has had more in depth info than anything I’ve read in two weeks or more.

http://www.theoildrum.com/node/6505
http://www.theoildrum.com/node/6513#more
http://www.theoildrum.com/node/6511#more

Headingout, from Oil Drum, is so detailed and to the bone, it’s insane.

Those are three links I suggest ANYone (Bmaz has been there) research for Top KIll info.

And I’d suggest any one look to that source, long before they consult any imaging from BP sourcings, or believe anything they read from NYT or any other source that’s MSM.

My suggestion to all is to read FDL, day time, for the best and most in depth info, besides what is posted at Oil Drum . . .

Cuz FDL is nailing it. On the ground, at the source, as is Oil Drum folks.

And it’s 11:37pm, and I still haven’t checked out Oil Drum and today’s updates!

I sure hope there’s some good news . . . ;-)

we sure could use a little good news today

I swear…! One of the commenters, aliilaali, has brought up the fact that Top Kill nor any of the other methods have ever worked at stopping a marine blow out…! Only thing that works is the relief wells…! 8-(

Pop up of the Flash update freezes in my Safari.

Don’t care, I’ve seen other vids.

We’re not gettin reality, no matter what the feeds say.

I’ll wait for a day or so, to hear how it’s all going . . ;-)

There’s hope. Let’s all hope!

Catching up on the comments, it seems I was right and the puka has grown larger over the past hour or so…! 8-(

Dark end of the street

Odgen’s Nut Gone Flake?

Who are you, NO one knows this shit . . . .

;-)

Dang and of course I know that song from some Motown place.

Long, ago . ..

Who ARE you?

;-)

I haven’t been online with the feed since about noon . . .

What’s changed?

Night, folks.

Loo, that’s a dangling participle, but I’ll simply say, they all are.

;-)

This is pretty much where it all was as of noon pacific time today.

As of multiple sources, including Oil Drum.

g’nite all

Aloha, Suz…! Pleasant Dreams…!

I just look for songs I haven’t heard before from bands I like…I have very few albums and even fewer CDs. Thank God for YouTubes.

Yep!

Bless the music, and I gotta go tooo . .
