A woman gave me the “evil eye” at work today. I didn’t experience it personally. I didn’t see it. My assistant manager, however, did. My sister came by the store in the afternoon. She took a look through our used DVD selection which fills a single dump bin at the store. A few weeks ago,Continue reading “The Evil Eye”
Daily Recap
I overslept this morning. Looking at the clock, I’ve only been awake for twelve hours. I went to an inventory at a store in Raleigh last night. I arrived about half past six, scanning began about an hour later, and at four-thirty in the morning we were done and ready to go home. A lotContinue reading “Daily Recap”
The Beatles: Sessions
Thanks to the wonders of the XBox I’ve heard a “lost” Beatles album, Sessions. In the mid-80s EMI planned on releasing an album of unreleased Beatles tracks. For a variety of reasons, made clear on this webpage, the album was never released. It would have been a single album of a dozen tracks, ranging fromContinue reading “The Beatles: Sessions”
More Snow
Thursday was warm, temperatures in the low forties. What was left of the ice and snow from the day previous melted off. More snow was in the forecast, though. Snow showers, starting after midnight. At midnight it began to rain. At one it had changed to a mix, rain and snow. Now, at four, it’sContinue reading “More Snow”
Snow Day
It snowed in Raleigh today. A week ago the temperatures were in the seventies. Two days ago the high was twenty-five. Today was slightly warmer, and for three hours this morning snow fell. The snow hadn’t started when I arrived at the store at nine. Half past ten the flurries started. By one-thirty it wasContinue reading “Snow Day”
Denny Crane!
About the only thing I watch on television these days is Boston Legal. Part stems from my loyalty to The Practice for so many years. Part stems from my love of the cast–James Spader, William Shatner, and now Candice Bergen (who is still pretty damn attractive). I realized a few weeks ago that in StarContinue reading “Denny Crane!”
Age
Seen on David Henderson’s LiveJournal. I find this worrisome: You Are 16 Years Old 16 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view – and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to findContinue reading “Age”
Motivation
Weigh matters carefully, and think hardest about those that matter most. Fools are lost by not thinking. They never conceive even the half of things, and because they do not perceive either their advantages or their harm they do not apply any diligence. Some ponder things backward, paying much attention to what matters little, andContinue reading “Motivation”
The Beatles Cartoons
Film Threat posted an article on the mid-60s Beatles cartoons, the background on their creation, and the likelihood of future DVD release. If you’re interested, give it a look.
Three Unconnected Happenings
The cat–Woodrow–bled in my office chair while I was at work yesterday. The blood is dry, but it soaked into the nylon webbing, and I’m not sure at all how to clean it. Thank you, Woody. I keep a notebook on my dresser, in case I have a brainwave in the middle of the nightContinue reading “Three Unconnected Happenings”
