Well, this turkey day was a little different than the past few ones. You see, my mom has been pretty apathetic about holidays since I moved out (probably a common occurence in a one child house), so we've taken to going out on turkey day, usually to Shoney's for their Thankstaking buffet. For some strange reason, this year mom decided to cook and do the family thing again. She baked cookies, did the turkey, the whole nine yards. It was a little surrealistic, especially after several years on home-cooked meal hiatus. I'm feeling all tired from all the food I've eaten today, what with the snacks and the turkey I feel about a hundred pounds heavier. Thank dieties it only happens once a year!
My dad had an accident in bed again today, and my sweet Chambers cleaned him up and helped him to the table while I helped mom finish the mashed potatoes and set the table. Alzheimer's is a shitty thing, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. If any of you have loved ones, donate to Alzheimer's research, and keep up with the news about it. There are lots of crazy whacked out theories regarding its origins and risk factors, but at this point I'm willing to believe almost anything.
I must go now, one of my cats is trying to rehang our curtains using only his claws and a small toy mouse, so I must express my domination and displeasure in cat-speak. Have a happy Turkey day, and don't forget about all the taking we did on that first celebration years ago.

Hair Metal Bands are not shitty
For the most part.
A pox on Christ Richter and his XANGA site where his facts are skewed and his opinions are WRONG. And the worst part is I can't even comment without being a member of xanga, which is against my beliefs. Fuck Xanga!
Listen, Christ, "Heaven Isn't Too Far Away" is by Warrant, not Skid Row, as evident by the forced soprano of Jani Lane, rather than the lilting falsetto of Sebastian Bach, the sexiest man in leather pants. And he's super smart, as evidenced on The Weakest Link. He was 2nd, mother fuckers! Let's see Jani beat that with a brand new can of Aqua Net! And if that isn't enough for you, Skid Row womped Pantera's asses in a softball match.
And, Springfield has never had a good music scene, except maybe in 1993 for about 15 seconds.
In addition, Black Flag was the best band of the 70s, since that was when they started. Fuck the 80s! "The Reagan Years!"
You might think this angst is jealously-driven, and you'd be right. I'm so fucking jealous of the cleverness of Christ that I can't type straight. You should give him a read, always good for a laugh.

Sage fucking Francis
Sage Francis is awesome. Just saw him in Fayetteville, Arkansas on November 5 and it was, as always, a beautiful experience. Sage, Sole, and the Sollioquists of Sound make a beautiful family.
That's the thing about Sage and his shows; they are so intimate. There could be hundreds of people there, but you think that Sage is only performing for you, he's that real. I don't gush about artists, and especially not about rap artists, but Sage is to hip hop what Picasso was to painting. Sage is a brilliant man, the best wordsmith I've ever heard, and has a wicked sense of humor.
Amid reservations about playing in the "buckle of the Bible belt," Sage and his crew played the best show I've managed to catch, and left everyone feeling that much more "together." The Sollioquists of Sound dedicate a song to all the 9-5 workers out there, then tell them to quit their jobs and do what they love. "You think you can't do it? You've got a whole support group here, you should help each other do what you love, do what you dream about." When they say things like that, and you're in that audience, you believe it can happen, you believe in the decency of your fellow man.
Speaking of, we were driving home on a local US highway a couple of nights ago, when we saw a girl walking on the side of the road, obviously stranded. We turned around and picked her up to discover she was walking to Rogersville (a good 10 miles from where we picked her up) after her Tracker's wheel fell off. She couldn't have been more than 16 years old, and the tiniest little thing you've ever seen; she wouldn't have lasted more than ten minutes on that highway. We were more decent human beings for a little while after that.
Have you done a good deed today?
