To help with your revival

I'm going to leave this here just in case any of you need a little help with your revival...

On the corner of Penny Lane and Desolation Row

I was talking with an old friend who reminded me of a idea that I used to use when writing. Whenever I would sit down to write I would determine what I was going to write about and then ask myself "how would this be different if it took place at the intersection of Penny Lane and Desolation Row?" For those of you who are familiar with the music pieces you understand how drastically different these two places are and how they are each immensely beautiful in there own way. Any of you who are not familiar I urge you to become so. In a lot of ways this idea helped to form the basis for "drull" and anytime you're not exactly sure what "drull" is just think of that and it might start to make more sense to you.

Tuesdays on the phone to me

Yesterday came suddenly.

Well I'm okay. How are you? Thanks for asking.

Wow, just realized it's been a while since I've done a rapid fire blog post so here goes...

The situation in Iran is horrible. If I was there I'd be in the streets too. I am pleased to see that the Iranian people are standing up for democracy though. If there is anything I can do to support them I will...

The yard is starting to look amazing! I got the space behind the shed cleaned up and am starting to think that could be a huge asset. It wasn't easy to move the compost pile, but well worth the effort. Next step is going to be getting the beds around the house all weeded out so the hops don't get strangled. Maybe this weekend...

It has been 28 days with no rain here in Seattle. Its strange. I guess a couple more and we've got a new record for the driest spring. The weathers been nice but it really makes me wonder at what cost? (see previous blog post)...

I bought a new charcoal grill last night. It's been a while since I've cooked on charcoal and I kinda screwed up last night and let them cool down too much before throwing on the meat. Hopefully round two won't be quite such a failure. We'll see...

I was at lunch today listening to Revolver when I had a realization: it'd been way too long since I'd heard "For No One". Great track. That whole CD is amazing. I can't wait for September when I get to hear all of their music remastered....

Radiohead's Palo Alto just came on my iPod. Now all I can think of are agricultural skyscrapers....

A little more serious perhaps?

So after that last post I figure that I should put up something of value...

My dad started a new blog to showcase his building designs. It's pretty cool stuff. You can check it out here....

I haven't been on a bus in over three weeks. It's very strange for me. I hope that when I finally get back to it that the 7 is just the same as it's always been. Luckily for me I don't think that my presence or lack thereof will have any effect on the 7...

The President announced 17 billion dollars is cuts from the federal budget. There is a lot of uproar that it's insignificant. However the figure as small as it may seem is larger than the GDP of 85 countries on the planet. So while it may seem like a drop in the bucket, 17 billion is still a huge number. Don't forget that...

I cannot wait for the Beatles albums to be remastered. They're being released 9/9/9. I'm already starting to plan the festivities...

And I think that I'll close with a little "happy" corn...

















I guess this wasn't worth much in the end either. Oh well...

Someone's listening in

I've been listening to a lot of Beatles today. It's good for the soul...

...My mind is a little sideways today. Nothing specific, I just feel out of it. Maybe it's just a case of the Mondays...

...The addiction to Buck Hunter is now very real. I had a dream last night that I was in the game. Hopefully next time I'm the buck...

...I have an even more serious problem. I'm addicted to Google. And it's not just Google, it everything that they do. The search engine, maps, gtalk, youtube (especially youtube) and even this forum here blogger. It's bad...

...I'm definitely NOT addicted to work. I'd leave it in a heart beat if someone would be so generous as to pay all my bills and kick me down a little spending money...

...Croatia hates Santa Clause...
