Friday night is Midnight Special night.. The evolution of watching things via the Roku streaming player has made it easy to do this.. I started watching music videos on Friday night and when I punched in those words into the search I got exactly what I wanted, the old Midnight Special from way back when.. It is both great and sad to watch these show clips, because I remember watching some of this way back when they were first on.. Last night I watched Heart (the original lineup of Heart) and it was so incredible to see.. Ann Wilson wasn't nearly the chunky gal she would become, I guess starving on the road will do that to a person.. But great voice then and now.. Blondie was on last night, Debbie Harry looked really nice way back when..
Then I switched over and watched some Letterman from the past week.. Then watched some news shows.. I tell you, we have Fox news on the cable and it is nice to be able to watch a news site that has intelligence.. No I'm not talking about Fox, I am in fact talking about just about everywhere else.. AP, Reuters, BBC and so many other choices and I can chose which I want to watch and what stories.. I also like the AOL.ON site for news, tech news and entertainment news.. The fifteen second commercials are different to get used to because they are just a quick add then back to what you want to see..
Changed my desktop picture, and it changes regularly since football season ended.. Today the spiral thing from optical illusions website.. Not the worst one i've seen in a while but..
Then there's the aging office fiasco or what might be headed that way.. In October someone I know asked if I was getting paid to watch my mom and I said no... Well everyone says give it a try what could it hurt.. Well here we are a few months later and last week I get my first check.. Felt odd to get it but alright.. I haven't cashed it yet and am glad I didn't.. Turns out this could be a government run ponzie scheme of sorts.. Mom gets a "bill" for a "donation" from the aging office which had me scratching my head.. Why should she have to pay them to pay me, she could do that directly without the middle man. Anyway I told her maybe my little check was breaking the bank.. It is for all of $64.. When they sent a bill I thought if it is for the 64 dollars then I'll take the check down and sign it and give it back and ask to see the contract and tear it up.. This is just so strange but not completely of any surprise to either of us.. I really felt odd getting paid to do something suddenly that I've been doing for free for a while now...
January thaw followed by ?? : I've been watching what is going on in Australia with the heat and the fires and you could say they are getting what we got last year, and it might be true.. It could also be a sign of things to come for us here.. As dry as it was last summer and then follow it with a relatively dry winter so far and this could be along ass hot dry as shit summer..
So I was in Walmart this past week and went down the "summer" aisle.. it was purely by accident, as it is a small section by the marked down section of the old holiday area.. And the smells weren't inviting to me, they were more repulsive than anything else.. They reminded me of this past season, with the failure of so many plants and ideas that just make me wonder why bother.. But bother I will and in a few weeks I will welcome those smells that did just repulse me, and welcome them with open arms.. Hard to believe that it will be just a few short weeks before I start the planting process all over again.. Slap me in the head...
