The Twitticisms have successfully diverted attention from the articles in the blog and this was a clever thing when there's nothing more than transitory amusement in the Tweets.
(Ed: dump them)
Right you are, matey.
If you want to follow me on Twitter, I'm searchforithaka, and I will keep throwing things out in Tweets but bringing them back here doesn't augment the blog content so much as supplant it.
The focus is the music and being witty / amusing passes a little time but goes nowhere. Passing time in that way is little more than a cynical form of suicide.
Thursday must have pushed it too hard because yesterday I never really did get my game happening. That's ok as why even bother pushing if you won't do it too hard at least once in a while. That gives a cop for yesterday but it doesn't give one for today. My arms are still feeling it, tho. It's much more work to play than it seems.
There's been some thinking about the flow of "The End of the World in Fort Worth" because the flow is cool for me with "The Sanctuary Song" giving the problem and the solution, "Hey Baby" giving the invitation, and "Shakin' It in a Tree" to get all primal on the other side of the bridge after you go over there with a squeeze appropriate to yer particular persuasion.
Doing that has a cool flow but the end result is not so much my Magnum Opus as my (cough) Magnum Medley. Medleys are something The Everly Brothers did back when white pop music was so gay it was banned in Texas as a danger to the young.
(Ed: so gay?)
Oh, you need some cases ... how about "Surfer Girl" or "In My Room" from the Beachboys and let's hear you counter those with anything in recorded history which is more effeminate.
(Ed: those ones were bad)
Bad? They were fucking horrible!
Part of what threw things off a bit was the Mystery Lady's suggestion of the house lasers for what seemed like small dollars. In fact those house lasers being promoted so much just now are not a good deal ... but ... I kept on looking after that ... and ... I saw a four-beam laser for $150. This thing is radical cool with red, yellow, violet, and green and all are DMX-controllable (i.e. they're intelligent).
Part of the stall was because, even if I can find the money, the unit won't get here until after the New Year starts because it will ship from China.
(Ed: buy American, bitch!)
I would but America doesn't make them.
Note: Mystery Lady it was coolness from you in suggesting those lawn lasers because I had been a little curious as to whether they have any useful application. That I went nuts with your suggestion is ... well ... typical (larfs).
Maybe I could get a job:
If there is a worse job than this one, I'm quite sure I don't want to know what it is.

The one I saw was $39 from Home Depot and in the commercial it was flashed up onto a sprial staircase and the effect was breathtaking. I wanted one for myself even...not for the outside but for the inside--Joy loves laser lights--she would have a field day!! Sorry...did not want to derail your efforts...just could imagine that the Galaxy would look like under the "star shower" with fog trailing up... Love, ML
Noooo, you didn't derail anything. For your idea on using one inside, these ones probably aren't powerful enough to penetrate smoke but the millions of stars effect could be highly cool. The one I saw and which got some laser lust going would be one splendid multi-color laser unit but it's also $150. For $39, the millions of stars effect could be very good because my sister can't watch my videos with laser effects. All the flashing may trigger the seizures which are a risk after any brain injury. The little dots don't flash so they may be ok ... and only $39. Well (larfs).
Not to mention when a few of those little stars hit the Galaxy guitar in just the right spots!
It could be an exotic effect when the device is only about ten feet from the target. Maybe with just a little bit of smoke, you would see the trails from all those dots and that would look nuts.
