Wacky On The Junk

My darling, darling friend Bitter With Baggage (BWB) has started his own blog, Wacky On The Junk. It's a hot blog featuring all the hottest new music out there. I read it, and my heart rate skyrockets because it shows just how behind I am.

Please check it out, and show him some love.

I'm off to download something. Maybe I can figure it out without having BWB walk me through the process over the phone. Doubt it.

And, hey BWB, check for some remixes of this. It's my new favorite song!

Should I Photoblog?

I like photography a lot, but I only took one class in college. That was before the digital camera era, and I LOVED the darkroom experience, no matter that I wasn't so good at it. I wish I'd found out earlier in college that I liked photography and could have continued studying it. Oh well.

Now with digital cameras, every Tom, Dick, and Mary has a photoblog. One of my favorites is Andy Bell's Deceptive Media. By favorite, I mean, I only check out his. Any of you readers have a favorite I should know about?

So my question is this -- would any of you care to see my "art?" Ha ha. It's hard to even write that, much less believe it for myself. If I posted photos here every once in a while, would you laugh at me? Can we just keep that to quiet snickering behind my back? That would be OK by me.

And, listen, I don't need critiques or constructive criticism. I only want positive feed back. For example, you could say, "ZOMG that's the most beautiful photograph I've ever seen. I am moved."

That's appropriate.

My first attempt at photoblogging:

Liberty Has Never Looked Hotter

Why aren't you watching this show?

My head explodes: The Dixie Chicks meet The Simpsons.

I Miss Her

I am big. It's the videos that got small.

Whoomp! There It Is

My man T and his crew won the Blacktop Battle this weekend. It's an annual basketball tournament hosted by the Houston Rockets.

Check out their mad street skillz. T gets in a shot or two, and his brother is playing in khakis.

Watch out, Yao Ming.

Dreams Do Come True (I Guess?)

Back on January 2, The Pink Armageddon put a wish out into the world about getting to see Kimberley Locke at Decadence. Well guess what! She's co-headlining with Deborah Cox. Our prayers have been answered. Or something like that. Let's assume she'll rock out with Band of Gold, one of our favorite songs right now.

Enjoy! See you at Decadence 2008, the best ever.

I Was Humming A Tune, Bloggin' In Sunshine, When Out Of That Orange Colored View, Wham, Bam, Alacazam, I Got A TAG(!!) From You

My first tagging. Hooray.

NoteThis! has challenged me to a little 4 on 4. Who shall I pass this on to?

I challenge thee, Joan Rivers and Rabbit Engine -- try to outshine me on this one.

As you can see, I've taken this very seriously.

4 Places I've Been

1. Roatan, Honduras -- T and I went jungle hopping on a zip line tour; probably the most "adventurous" thing I've ever done.

2. Santiago de Compostela, Spain -- where I watched pilgrims reach the final destination of their spiritual journeys, hanging out with St. James.

3. Lamesa, Texas -- Childhood home of my father, and where my grandparents had a cotton farm. I used to spend summers there, where I shot my first riffle (etc.), caught my first frog, and got my first taste of strawberry wine. Not really, but it was heaven there, a place I remember fondly.

4. The La Brea Tar Pits, Los Angeles, California -- Boy, was T mad when I made him go there. Yep, it really is just a big pit of stinky, bubbling tar.

4 Jobs I've Had

1. San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts: A cool internship where I got to document this man's collection of 20th Century paintings and even led the museum talk about it. Also, I learned I never want to have a career in a museum.

2. Americorps VISTA Volunteer: I learned how much I hate bureaucracy. I figured out pretty quickly that at Jason's Deli, you can order a cup of soup and then eat free muffins and ice cream.

3. Trinity University Department of Music: I moved pianos.

4. Plus, I've pretty much made a career out of being bad ass.

4 Of My Favorite Foods

4 Scenes In Movies I Wished I'd Written And Directed

1. 9 to 5: The scene where Mr. Hart takes Doralee down to the ground in his office for a little office afternoon delight.

2. Star Wars: A New Hope: The scene where Darth Vader gives the order to try out the ol' Death Star and destroy Leia's home planet, Alderaan. My favorite line in the whole sextology: "Alderaan is peaceful! We have no weapons." Second favorite line: "I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened." PS: Did you know that the Star Wars wiki is called Wookieepedia? Enjoyable.

3. Clifford: Where to begin? The scene where Uncle Martin takes Stefan away from Clifford and tells him to look at him like a normal boy. Geniousity.

4. Steel Magnolias: The scene after Shelby's seizure, where Ouiser gets to the bottom of Annelle's past. And, I might as well go for the obvious and wish I'd directed the funeral scene. I did make that t-shirt once for a dear friend, and let me tell you, it's a hit wherever you wear it.
