I was playing around with hooking up a new tape deck to my audio workstation at home because I am right in the middle of making some MP3’s out of an old Lily Tomlin tape for my sis when I found an old tape of ancient live band stuff.

ooooohhhhh man this is old music from a band that was called Velveteen Candy. It was recorded live in our rehersal space a long time ago and some of these recordings are the only recorded version of these songs.

It’s good that I have these and made them into MP3’s because I will be putting together an audio section to my site where I can put all the crazy audio stuff that I have been doing. I even have tapes from the band I was in when I was 19. I have also kept track of all the demo songs that I have written over the years on a portable cassettte player. I have tapes going back to 1990. Those have got to be some scary tapes.

After some fun cooking and baking last night with Alanna we have a whole mess of stuffing and cranberries, and a very sporty apple pie as well as a turkey that is cooling off as I write this.

We got up early, cleaned off the bird, wrapped it in bacon and stuffed it in the oven. Then I promptly went back to sleep for another hour.

After watching a little bit of the parades that are on TV I am convinced that they are getting more and more surreal every year. It could have something to do wit the fact that we have the sound down and are listening to the CD player while they are on. But as soon as they start the choreographed John Stamos singing and dancing routines right in the middle of the parade I think they lost me.

Some of the floats were old stand-bys but some were new, like the Cheesasaurus ballon made by craft. I think maybe other companies that would not normally get into the Thanksgiving parade should be given a chance. Like maybe the Depends Adult diaper ballon. Or the Viagra penis float. Maybe the Olestra Colon blow ballon and marching band. Trojan condom ballon??

We are almost set to head over to Liz’s for a nice day.

Happy Face Stuffing Day to Everybody.

My friend Dave asked me about my Top Ten CD’s, in a desert island kinda way, so it got me thinking. This is sort of a rough list and I guess it reflects what I am listening to right now. (Not in order of importance)

• My Bloody Valentine – Loveless
• Tom Waits – Rain Dogs
• Steely Dan – Aja
• Miles Davis – Kind of Blue
• Getz Gilberto
• Ryan Adams – Heartbreaker
• Smashing Pumpkins – Gish
• Beatles – One (If I am allowed a compilation if not then Abbey Road)
• Nada Surf – Proximity Effect
• Wilco – Being There

This online document fromm the Social Security Administrations website, makes me feel ooohhh so good about future Social Security payments.

I am both happy and sad to report that I have sold my 88 Chevy Sprint to a good home in SF. The happiness is that it went to a good home for a nice amount of money and it is one less thing for me to park around my neighborhood. The sad part is that I will miss the buddy and this was made even worse by that fact that I could not sell it to a nice girl named Tami who IM’d me after I put the ad up on Cragislist. I showed the IM to Alanna and we both had a great moment when we thought the car would go to her and that she was right for the car.

But alas I needed the money and money was the one thing that Tami did not have alot of. So in memory I will refer to the car as “Tami’s little red buddy”

So my crazy week of jury duty is over. I ended up being a jury foreman on a civil trial between two guys who had a fist fight turned bad (as in pipes and wrenches, bad). It was retarded.

My week otherwise sucked big time. My car got towed from in front of my house. They put a note on my car saying that I should move it, so I did. I moved the car, cleaned off the windows and put a 4-Sale sign on it. I guess that was not enough for the DPT because they decided to tow my car anyway. I mean my car looks a little dirty but it is not abandoned.

So I had to go down to the City tow (7th and Bryant) and spend $200 (Half the value of my car) to get a little piece of paper that would let me walk 6 miles to the tow yard on 22nd and 3rd street. Lovely.

So along with this I had a shit load of work to do.

Yeah this weeks sucked.
