I Present to You:

[anogete]

From Leonard Cohen's loins.

^ Link to a lovely song by Adam Cohen, his son. Band is Low Millions, although I believe Adam has done some solo stuff as well. I can't keep up with everything I want to get. My funds and time run low frequently.

I got a used book in the mail today that I've been on the look-out for. The Search for Mallory & Irvine. It's about Mallory's failed (or at least we assume) attempt to climb Mt. Everest. The initial spark of interest was from House of Leaves. There is quite a bit in there about both Mallory and Hilary's climbs. Just enough to create an itch for more knowledge about it.

As much as I hate social events, my presence at a retirement party is required this weekend. And poof! my Saturday all but disappears. Being overly nice doesn't pay off in the end because I've been recruited to pick up the food and bring it to the party along with ten bags of ice. I hate outdoor events. I shouldn't be so negative about it. It'll be semi-fun. I think.

Re: the party - bring the food, drop off the ice, eat a little and have 2 cups of (whatever - I know you're not a drinker), then, poof! Your Saturday returns to you :)

It pains me that I have to pick up and transport 10 pounds of beef and 10 pounds of chicken in my car. Ick.

Well here's another idea then: muck up this simple job so badly that no one will ever ask you to do it again. And blame it on vegetarianism. You'll be set :)

Oops, I dropped all the chicken. Can't you wash cooked chicken off like you wash vegetables off?

Now you've got it.

And, actually, now *I've* got it - the CD is incredible! I've listened to it 3 times now. I'm off to writers' group, so I'll praise your selections more later :)

Glad to hear that you got the CD! And have fun at your writers' group!

Oh lordy, that CD is freakin' amazing. And I mean freakin' in all senses of the word ;0

(Forgive me - I got slipped a homemade beer today with a much higher alcohol content than regular beer; now I'm a bit toasty :)

:-) You're kinda cute when you're toasty. Glad you like the CD. I was going for the freakin' kind of feeling.

Well you certainly nailed it. Heh, get it? Nailed. Haha.
