Hannah has given a 'note' about my profile. She feels my statement that I feel 'somewhat uncomfortable referring to myself in the 2nd person' should stated 3rd person. Perhaps a stretch for the intended irony Not funny I guess, so I've corrected it. Being defensive of her calling me out on my poor and lacking usage, which was really a joke I forgot about, it gets me to wonder if my 'sense of humor' is getting thru even 1/2 the time. But I know Hannah 'gets' me, so I should be happy with that, but for this blip. Then Gordon tells this one last night:
So a termite walks into a bar
and says
"where is the bartender"
huh huh
It took Tom about 10 seconds to get that. Who is it then with a dull sense of humor..

post Labor day post
The end of the 2009 summer draws near, but with very nice weather to enjoy. Along with the weather, I've been enjoying spending time with my dear friend Hannah. She seems to like me, despite my quirks and such. Finding myself in good humor much more, when loneliness stops all kinds of doors swing open. HcT is a great woman, and we are enjoying each other's company with movies, dining options (the near east side is rife) and an actual date last Friday. Houses in Motion played & we sat up in the balcony an bobbed heads, both prolly too tired to shake booty with the youngsters.
Replaced my rear bicycle tire in Aug, which was in a bald way. In other DIY mechanical activities, also put brake shoes on the rear - some cretin actually stole them from where I was parked at work. Bike thieves carry metric allen wrenches!
Worth blathering about was the Zappa plays Zappa set in Milwaukee attended 3 weeks ago. It was mind-bending. That Dweezil spawn o' Frank sho can play that geetar. The whole band was fantastic. Inca Roads! Black Page! and many other favorites. A pal is the guitar/sax tech and enabled Joe A. and I to bear witness to this event of true musical greatness. Dined on some Mexican entrees enroute. They were very reasonably priced too, much like the concert - I had a PBR tall boy and a couple soda-corn-syrupy-treats, just to attempt tp pump a lil' survival juice into the wallets of Milwaukee service industry brothers and sisters you understand.
The trio of dilettantery is gearing up for our 1st performing in front of people. In about 3 weeks we'll be proving we can play a reasonably tight and entertaining set. It's thankfully a party environment, no pressure really.
listen:
Ellery Eskelin trio - 1 Great Night...Live
Heartless Bastards - The Mountain
Jumbo's Killercrane - The Slow Decay
Dub Trio - Cool Out and Co-exist
lots of Tom Waits
a little John, Paul, George & Ringo
crickets
