could be heard in the shower this morning:
Who’s that walkin’ round here, Mercy
Say at a diner at a table for two
There are four of us,
me, your big feet and you
From your ankles up, you sure look sweet
From there on down there’s too much feet
OH, your feets too big
they don’t want ya, cause ya feets too big
mad atcha, cause ya feets too big
hate ya, cause ya feets too big…
of course, the set list included:
…stompin’ with you at the savoy, what joy…
and:
Moonlight in Vermont
which is completely unrelated, but whatever…
I realized, last night, that my new sheets match my curtains, AND my pajamas (yes, I sometimes wear pajamas, what of it?)… and I was considering the distinct possibility that I may, in the past, have asked someone to “shoot me” if I ever did something like this.
well I would just like to state right now, for the record, that all past contracts taken on myself are hertofore null and void. no matter how tacky or mundane I become, I no longer want to die for it. I think I stopped feeling that way the day I publicly admitted that contrary to anything I may have implied, I find Nick Cave completely creepy and would run the other way if I ever saw him, in real life or in representational form. I pretty much feel the same way about Tori Amos. Nina Simone…well, okay, she’s creepy, but in a good way.
so does anyone who used to listen to 4ad label records remember who did a song where the guy is singing in a gravelly voice, “’cause I’m a CAMEL…camelcamelcamel…!” I never was able to find a recording of that, even when I remembered who did it, but now I’ve forgotten even that. the ‘artist’ must start with ‘A’, as I remember checking that bin at celophane square and only seeing Alice in Chains, and thinking, they suck*.
so anyway, don’t kill me.
*just how I thought of it at the time…didn’t they do Enter Sandman? I kinda sorta liked that.

No that was Metallica.
hmmm…okay then, maybe I WAS right.
by the way, those are CHERRIES, not FLOWERS…flowers are gross and if I ever have bedding with flowers on it, I hope somebody will just…erm, nevermind…
I can assure you firsthand, that the drummer for Alice certainly sucked. For randomness: my first husband was a drummer. He did not suck. His label went on to produce the singer for an adorable band I once saw play in Bellingham, by the name of Pinwheel. And he used to work at Cellophane. There, how’s that for commentary? I unfortunately have no idea which 4ad guy sounded like a gravelly camelcamelcamel though.
so, did you know Henry and Beau??
there was a drummer in another b’ham band that everyone thought I, ahem, named my son for. in actuality he was named for a completely unrelated poet.
ackshully – jaines addiction really sucked!
NINA NINA I LOVE NINA
do you have the verve recordings of ella & louis? it ROCKS. OK, maybe that’s the wrong word. but YOU know.
I DO I DO!! highdesertlola gave them to me! she is a goddess!
it just occurs to me I was thinking of nina hagen!! but I ADORE nina simone!
*shrug*
*smile*
Matching sheets, pajamas and curtains? It does seem a bit odd but since it was an “accident” I guess it’s okay this time.
love and rockets?
Shazam!
Sometimes things are “really” accidental…what is the deeper meaning of the 3 matching items…Mmmmmmmm ( oh , hell , like I would know that – LOL ) Break those contracts
it’s just fashion extended, right? If it ever happens in my house, it’d be proof the body snatcher got me.
true, true…but I have to say…it’s a bit much, even for me. cringe
Yeah…so anyway, what would your sheets and drapes do if you were to sleep in the nude?
Speaking of showers…you’ve now got me wondering what you look like from the ankles on up…
I told you what I thought of your feet.
Yeah…so anyway…
see, I don’t have a timer on my camera, so I can only post nakey pictures of my feet…I’ll have someone take some at next weeks’s orgy, okay?
Oh sure….like they’d give up their turn in the fray to snap a pic….keep dreaming.
