Body & Soul is a very fine, very underrated work....

I’m a very big fan and became even more of one when I saw him live at the HOB in NOLA. Fantastic man.
cherokeepurple asked: Have you used the age analyzer on your blog? I did. It thinks I'm 60-100 years old. I think it's because I use commas. I'm curious what it says about you/your blog. The link is the 5th entry on my blog. ----Annmarie. PS The snake has me hiding my eyes.
Reminder:
Tomorrow, I start a classic rock music challenge.
My classic rock.
The era will be 1969-75.
Because the rock I am going to refer to hews to a particular sound and style that was dominant then.
I may have to transgress at least once.
I will try to avoid the egregiously obvious songs.
For 30 days.
Though there may be a ringer or two.
Like something well known in its original version.
I will...

Well, I won't be monitoring, but it was rather...
blondhousewife replied to your post: Just looked at last night’s ratings…
But people will lap it up because it was Family Guy. It will go unnoticed. I never got the appeal to that show in the first place.
M'lady story time.
Saturday night, M’lady was out at a friend’s house, playing Blitz.
It’s a card game that just happens to be popular among the devout apparently.
As you know, neither M’lady nor I are.
She went over to play with some rather juicy swear phrases to use.
Apparently, she sourced them from the internets
And promptly forgot them.
But when she got home, and we were dozing...
Poem?
how strange
that we
should retreat
to woolen mitts
and thick, downy comforters
as the trees
are alll

I haven't heard the Hummingbirds since I don't...

He stayed or visited quite a while here in Australia I believe. Messed around in the Melbourne indie scene, & in Kylie Minogue apparently. I loved the Hummingbirds, saw them many times, & totally agree. Into Your Arms is a most beautiful song.
Just looked at last night's ratings...
I think it’s fair to say that certain folks on Twitter will be looking for new jobs soon, given Allen Gregory’s low sampling.
Also, m’lady watched Family Guy and all I can say is this: it is nearly impossible to make spousal abuse funny, and FG proved that conclusively.
Moreover, don’t make the guy who has roofied and raped women the avenging angel of an abused woman.
...
The best projects in the world...
Are the ones were you do a draft and the requested change is just one word.
I bought some candy.
To give to my neice and nephew.
Every year, they come into town to see my parents’ friends, my ex and then me and m’lady after doing the rounds in the hood.
We had told the kids yesterday we weren’t giving out treats and they didn’t have to drop by.
But they insisted on showing us their costumes.
So, yeah, I bought candy for the two of them.

Quoth blondhousewife:
blondhousewife replied to your video: Power Pop Challenge. I may end this one tomorrow,…
If November is classic rock month. You have to do two for Tuesday. Double shots of your favorite classic rock. That’s a radio rule.
/// I can do that.
I would have had a hard time picking one song by a couple of the artists.
Though I will be drawing on songs I have referenced here before (and I...
Also...
I am currently listening to Marianne Faithfull’s Strange Weather.
A wonderful album 1987 that is suffused in 30s style debauched cabaret stylings.
She interprets a number of songs that were contemporary and old.
And then, she invests herself in a cover of As Tears Go By that brings all the authoritative world weariness she could never have mustered during her first go through.
It’s...
M'lady thinks that the carving in the pumpkin I...
Fyi II:
The melting witch was supposed to have fudge and white chocolate pudding.
There’s no white chocolate pudding here.
And the hat was supposed to use Bugles.
But they don’t appear to be sold here anymore either.
Canada. We can’t have nice things.
Fyi...
My mom is running out of Hallowen meal ideas.
She’s been doing this for years and is starting to exhaust internet ideas.
So send along your recipes and suggestions.
More Halloween food coming in about 20 minutes.
Dear America.
Thank you for sending me the Garlic Hot Sauce Pringles.
They are rather good.
Though the ingredients make no mention of actual garlic.
There’s something wrong there.
Anyway, the garlic is tempered by a kind of tomato seasoning.
And the red peppers give it a kick.
So, yeah, thanks.
Poem?
i will not carry you
except beyond
the places
i have been
or take you from
the places
that you know
to the degree
you know your desires
the places
i have been
are gone
and to take you there
is to take away
from where we
might go
or to take you
into a life
that is not one
we share
but if we go
it will be
because we go
together
moving through mornings
that hold their breath

/// I often say that Adtothebone was a major influence on why I tweet what I do. And here’s a great example of why.
For those of you who saw m'lady's handiwork...
She has started a blog where she is going through her cookbooks and picking three recipes to do.
If she likes them, she keeps the book.
If not, she doesn’t.
She says it is on blogger, but she has asked me not to promote it because she may move it to Wordpress.
I suggested she also do it here.
More news when I have it.
