Take off, eh.

A bunch of Canadian guys just cornered me to take their picture at the ballpark. One of ‘em even said, ”We’re here for the game, eh?”

Oh, Canada!

Magic Pie

One of my fave songs.

Word on the street is that some new Oasis music is on the way.

Maybe it will boost Man City this season.

Mini SoBo Vacation

Dreamy. That's what it is.

Two weekdays off is always fun. Add in the AWESOME Canadian-like weather during August, and this is a dream.

Yesterday and today I had the windows and doors wide open for that beautiful air, and let me tell you: time up on the roof reading "all the papers" was never better.

Wednesday closed with a picture-perfect evening and an Orioles win against the Red Sox whilst sitting four row behind the O's dugout, treating friends to those fantastic, company-owned seats.

Today? Nothing but leisure time: at the park with the dog, a quiet morning workout at the gym and an afternoon on the roof deck reading more of "all the papers".

Oh, and mixed in were three fantastic episodes of Homicide: Life on the Streets. The "Fire" double episode and the Edgar Allen Poe "guy buried alive" episode. Great stuff from 1995, before the network people imported lots of beefcake and makeup.

Man, this is "The Life".

Love Stinks

Yes it's true. Not for me, mind you. It's just that I watched a VH1 Classic show this evening, and saw some fantastic videos.

Here I Go Again - Whitesnake
Love Stinks - J. Giles Band
I Will Survive - Gloria Maynor (Man, who can beat the Philadelphia Strings sound? SO good.)

When you get down to it, the video for Love Stinks is such a treat. They used real film, shot in crappy locations and made fun of themselves. (No Link here - we all know that YouTube has everything you ever need.)

Enjoy.

iPod Randomness

Out of 6,377 songs, here are the first ten songs the little devils in my player chose for me:

Khashoggi’s Ship – Queen
Beyond The Pale – The Mission
Stop In The Name… - Public Enemy
Metro – Berlin
Here I Am – Skid Row
Move On – Paul Stanley
Kickin’ For Days – Beautiful Creatures
I Wanna Be Somebody – W.A.S.P.
The Prince – Metallica

It Was A Very Good Beer – Homer Simpson

There is more than just rock in the iPod. For the most part, I guess they felt like rockin' out this morning. No complaints here.

Enjoy.

Isaac Hayes

One of my main inspirations since I was little.

All I can say right now is "Walk On By."
