Amusement...
Oct. 16th, 2005 09:48 amMate took me out to Outback yesterday for dinner, and they had on the 70's music. Not too bad, really. I'm just old enough to remember my parents listening to it, and learning at least a slight appreciation for it. My mate, who is seven years older than I, is quite familiar with the music, including disco. For a hard-rocker like her, it makes her cringe.
Anyhow, so we're talking, and yeah, making a little fun of the disco and funk when it comes on, and then it strikes me.
Mate and I are 43 and 36 respectively. We're getting to the age where what we grew up with and think is 'cool' is no longer quite so cool with the younger generations. This includes, of course, music.
Still with me, right?
Okay...so me, my brain, and I go off on the next tangent.
For a while now, the biggest 'poo-poo'-er about music seems to be that the younger gens often put down the older gen music because it's too soft, too melodic, and so forth. It's wimpy, man. You can't turn it up and break your ear drums, ya old thing, you!
Okay...that works just fine until you realize that our generations came up with things like Death Metal and Thrash (not to mention being on the edge of heralding in Marylin Manson and friends).
So...um...the young kids can't use that excuse anymore...
Unless the next batch of 'loud' music is the kind that shatters ear drums on contact? *g*

And my fun and crazy moment for this month?
Waking up at 3am, hearing a lovely thunderstorm rolling in, and enjoying it.
And then realizing that my car windows were open.
Let's hear it for running outside in just my underwear and tank top to save my poor little car's upholstery!
Who says I'm repressed and shy?
*g*
(Of course I am wondering why half the homes around me had their lights on at three in the morning. Don't these people ever sleep?!)

OOOhhhhh....Monthly update.
Jun. 1st, 2005 06:15 amI'm alive! Yay!
Doing good! *double yay!*
Having fun *g*
Thought/question for the day:
Yesterday was one of those 'official day for celebrating --blat--' days. You know, the days when you're supposed to acknowledge whatever it is, maybe get into it a little and enjoy it if you can? Like National Jelly Bean Day or National Nurses Week. You know, that sort of thing.
So tell me, am I off my rocker, or is there something intrinsically creepy/weird/fucked up/ Just Plain Wrong about National Hysterectomy Day? Especially when it involves having about four times the usual amount of patients coming in for, yes, hysteroctomys.
Just asking....

Merry Christmas, Happy Yule
Celebrate Hannuka?
Same to you.
No matter your path,
I wish you all well
As we all feast,
and listen to bells...
And with that now said
And wishes now sent
I'll quit writing poetry
Decidely bent
And leave you to familys
And Holiday cheer
Hope everyone's well
At this time of year...
Love and Hugs to Everyone!
