9 Moons Ago

I haven’t watched the Simpsons in a while…in fact, I haven’t watched much TV in recent months. But when I turn on the tv here at home and can not find a single music video to make me feel better when I am recovering, then I know this WORLD is CRAZY.
Music Television helped me recover from my first hospitalization when I was 21, in 1995. I sat and soaked up the inspiration and healed just by listening to the music and watching the great film footage. I felt inspired and whole.

I don’t want to sit and watch the computer screen to watch videos..that takes energy. I want my MTV back. Why is there nothing but game show after game show? It’s been like this for YEARS. I used to watch 120 minutes with my Mom (cause she is cool like that) and then they killed that off.

It SUCKS and it’s pissing me off..and I can’t afford M2 in a cable package so they can sod off.
But …new bands keep requesting me on MySpace and that’s cool. At least I can find stuff without having to look for it too hard. It’s just not as relaxing.

Does anyone agree with me here? I’m not so sure I’ll get a response, but if you live in Australia, you won’t relate anyway… they actually show and play a lot of good music there. THAT is what I’ll miss: music is my “chocolate husband”. I NEED it…it sweeps me off my feet.

Today, on her lunch break, my brother’s fiance, Allison, stopped by with a bouquet of red carnations from her and Dan. And I love carnations..and red! Red roses? Not so much. Any other flower in red..yes, yes yes!

Last night was rough..night time can be a doozy sometimes, these days..but today felt pretty good, and I got to visit with good neighbours who have been friends for years.

Watched some R.E.M. footage online ..they have a piece of live footage daily check their website, R.E.M. HQ for details, or follow this link:

..I think it’s filmed till their album comes out. It’s called ninety nights. My fav part? Michael Stipe eye candy. Yeah..I love the music, but have already told you I will always have a crush. Please shut up already.

Actually, no one tells me this is stupid anyway…I mean my Mom calls Tom Brokaw “her boyfriend”. (Shhhh…. you didn’t hear that from me: ixnay on the omtay rokawbay)

…so as not to wake Cam.

Personal writing at “A Prairie Home Companion” Website

I sent some poems in to them when they first started up the section on the website, but nothing came of it. I read some from the other writers once in a great while, and will have to send in some more writing another time. Give it another chance after a couple of years, eh?

I just thought this whole story was hilarious… and even her biography at the bottom. Bravo!
I want to write and make people laugh that way…

Cameron is doing quite well now. His doctors were really impressed with the speed of recovery.
No more need to visit the hospital, except to bring cheer to a friend we made there, Cam’s ex-roommate who has recently had an operation. Think we’ll try and stop in tomorrow.

The new job is going well. Good hours, good people to work with… still lots to learn, but I feel comfortable with it all and ask questions when I need help.
Also got some freelance artwork finished. Yay!

Family: I’ll try calling on the weekend.

Everyone: A funny site I just found:

Little People

That’s all for now. I’ll be around when I’m around… you know how it goes.
