I think this is a catchy tune. I have very vague memories of my older brother trying to use my singing this song against me, by telling my father and stepmother. A kind of “Oh yeah? Well, do you know what kind of music your DAUGHTER is listening to?” type of distraction technique, including the lyrics to this song and also John Cougar’s Hurt So Good. I don’t remember it working real well for him.
Never Say Never – Romeo Void
I’ve been working a cd of cover songs for River Selkie, and one evening, Mr. Moon was helping me by sending me some good ones.
jodi: more people should cover Never Say Never
mr. moon: there’s not been a truer statement around the world in the past hour
jodi: THANK YOU!
mr. moon: mark it – move on to the next hour
mr. moon: we gotta mark! recorded!

The One Who Arrived Dead!!
Ok, you guys, sorry so shakey. A: I don’t have a steady hand at all and B: The Man is standing behind me, pulling a Marlin Perkins, making me laugh. I actually have to put down the camera at one point. You should see the video at full size, It’s like a a massive earthquake is occurring!
But, hey… I bought a book about iMovie, so hopefully I’ll get better.
Then and Now: Episode 27 Big Big Love
I’ve been keeping this song in the back of my mind, for a while, as a possible T&N. Pretty much everyone I know, in my peer group, loves the Pixies. LOOOOVES the Pixies. I wanted to use this song, in particular, because it’s the song a 15 year old Louise heard in some Scottish dance club that made her an instant Pixies fan.
Sunday, Louise, Tessa, KK and I went to see LoudQuietLoud at the SIFF. So it seemed like a good time to do a Pixies Then and Now. By the way, if you love the Pixies, Frank Black, or even music in general, it’s a very good film. Playing at a film festival near you!
Gigantic – Pixies
Wil, who knows everything about Frank Black and the Pixies, gave this song to me. I think it’s particularly delightful the way they sing “gig-antic.”
Gigantic – Wakusei
And the Reel Big Fish? Well, that’s just for me, because they make me happy.
Gigantic – Reel Big Fish
Well at least I’m not a horrible little latch-key kid who was suspended from school.
It’s true, jodiferous was down for a day…. we were suspended. But we are back now. A few weeks ago there was suspicious activity on my credit card, and I cancelled it. But I am still discovering all the accounts with automatic payments that need to be updated.
Well… at least it wasn’t my drivers license this time.
I’m going to take your brain out of your head and wash it and scrub it and make it clean.
Mornin’ internet buddies!
My P.O.E. is very generous with the PTO. [Personal Time Off] I enjoy saving it up and looking at my balance, reveling in the fact that I could take three weeks off if I wanted to. Or I could get really sick. One of the two. But, as much fun as that is, I’ve decided it might be MORE fun to use some of it here and there. I also decided that it would be fun to get a massage today*. And then I thought… hey, why not go ahead and get a body scrub/moisturizing treatment? As long as you getting a massage? So it’s off to the nekkid lady spa for me! Evildeb is leaving work early to join me. But before you get too excited, our differing “procedures” are scheduled in such away that we won’t be spending too much time together naked. And we prefer it that way.
* Last Saturday I cleaned and cleaned. Seriously. Those of you who have been in my car in the past … oh… two years would be shocked at it now. I had 3 other people, besides myself, in it on Sunday. Anyway, I cleaned and cleaned and I was a little sore in the back on Monday when I made this plan. I’m not anymore, but I might be doing some more chores tomorrow, so I thought a massage might loosen me up, stretch me out, get me ready for cleaning. Right?
Hey man, now you are really living.
Sunday was a big day for the GWEMAC. Busy day, much to do, many things planned. I’ll start with the last thing first, since it really was my favorite. Except for maybe the Cock Dishes part, mostly because I do so love to laugh, but I’ll explain that later. Rounding out our day was the Eels Show at the Showbox.
If you know me, you know I don’t really like crowds, and I don’t like strangers in my personal space. So, when I tell you that next time I see the Eels, I plan on wearing less restrictive, more breathable, clothing, comfortable shoes, my hair up, and no heavy handbag so I can GIT UP FRONT AND ROCK, you’ll understand how much I enjoyed the show.
We arrived after Eels took the stage, because of the aforementioned busy day. I think, that my favorite part was the Security Guy. He’s our New Boyfriend. Technically, KK called him first, but going to the show was my idea, so I think we’ll have to split him. Tessa and Louise are out of luck unless they want to fight us for him. I don’t know what his name is, but at first I thought he really was just stage security guy, he was a big musclely guy with a shaved head, biker glasses and mutton chops, tattoos and a black tshirt that said SECURITY on it. But then he started to dance. During some songs, he would just stand there, with his arms crossed over his chest, looking out on the audience. Often he would say some kind of non-sequitor in between songs. However, when he started to dance, he really got into it, it was awesome. The dancing sometimes had a theme. One time, he was martial arts dancing. Another, he was boxing and while dancing. Sometimes he sang, and sometimes he played an instrument. But then he’d just go back to standing there. Between songs, he would call the lights up, and E would point people out to him. He’d snap on a new rubber glove and start hi-fiving the people that E pointed out. Once, he very gingerly brought up a heckler guy, being very careful and courteous, and then he bum rushed him off the other side of the stage.
All in all, a great show. E sang a Screamin Jay Hawkins song and you can’t go wrong with that. I’ll talk about the rest of the day later.
Ok, today is Lloyd and Evildeb’s 21st wedding anniversary. Everyone say Happy Anniversary to them.
Smilers never lose and frowners never win.
Sorry kids, I’ve been in one of those frazzled moods that have made it difficult to focus on any one topic long enough to complete a thought. Bad for blogging. Bad for anything that requires focus, really. I should meditate or something.
I will say this, I have finalized my spa treatments and made my reservation requests. I seem to have little trouble focusing on that.
I will also say this much, for now, The Eels show? HELL YEAH!!!
Suicide is very rarely painless
There was a dead body outside my office this morning. Suicide. Someone had jumped off the Aurora Street Bridge. This happens about once a month, although sometimes they chose to jump off over Lake Union. Sometimes they chose to jump off over our parking lot. It happens that they usually chose to do this in the pre-dawn hours. A young girl killed herself two weeks ago, over a weekend. She came to our attention mostly because her friends left mementos and flowers in the parking lot.
Today, a man jumped off the bridge some time between 7 and 7:30 am. When Evildeb and Lloyd came in, they actually saw the body, had to drive around it. When I got there, the area was taped off and cops were standing around. And the man was covered with a yellow tarp, a few yards from the dead flowers that still sit there, from the young girls friends. When I left for lunch, there wasn’t a trace of what had happened. There never is. Or at least, there had never been… until the flowers.
Detoxing my brain
In July, Evildeb and I are going away to the spa. Like… AWAY away. We are going here. Going away for a spa weekend is something I’ve always wanted to do. I’m a spa junky. It’s true.
Anyway, the reason I am telling you this right now is because I am going through the menu of my spa options, and I think I might need to have the Chocolate Delight Body Treatment. “exfoliating rich chocolate meringue; hydrating Swiss chocolate mousse with shea butter and vitamins.”
I need that. Right?
