Greetings.
I've started a couple of other blogs that keep me busy, so I'm not posting here as much; they're
Two Guys On The Road With Antiques
and
Two Guys On The Road With Books, co-written with my friend Perry.
I'm doing a lot of traveling in support of them, the whole "On The Road" part, so there's usually lots of pictures too.
I do check my Friends List every day.

Alison Moyet is on the Graham Norton Show.
She's just as amazing now as she was back in the 80s.

Best review of Avatar, ever:
For hundreds of years, the pagan, communist ideas expressed in this movie circulated among a threadbare group of outcasts with dirty fingernails and greasy hair, who shared their obtuse, occult ideas amongst themselves with manic, alienated glee. Now, James Cameron has made these insane views the major bulwark of a very spectacular movie, but the spectacle does not make these Neo-Marxist views any more coherent, rational, or uplifting.

I miss old airlines.
There used to be a... romance about air travel.
Maybe the new Clooney film will touch on that.

And of course, with the passing of old airlines, some flight attendant jokes just don't make sense...
like the one about Pan Am coffee or TWA tea.

I want to move to Woodbridge just so I can eat at IKEA.

I just saw a commercial for a touch-screen computer... I have a hard enough time keeping my screen clean just from ordinary use, let alone actually touching it.

Dream:
I'm working in a bookstore with a buffet, cleaning the warming pans, there's Muzak playing.
The easy listening version of "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" is the most I can remember.

Woke up hungry.
Usually last longer than this.
Navy kids downstairs are drunk, talking loudly in an apartment with no furniture but an x-box and a tv set.

Ah, youth.

I would much rather wake up hungry at 630 rather than 430.
At 630 you've got an early start to your day.
At 430 you've just interrupted sleeping.

Dreams
1) Went back to work at old job as an emergency fill-in.  Had to put up with super rude, demanding customers

2) Perry's son is graduating from college and we have to allow all Perry's ex-relatives to stay with us.

3)  I'm at a shooting range and I'm getting all my paper work in line to buy a gun.  There's a waiting period.  The clerk coaches me on what to say when I'm asked why I want a gun.

Watching the Parade.
The cast of the revival of Dreamgirls is singing the title song.
Awesomeness.
Looks like this revival is being staged at the Apollo.
Can't imagine a better venue.
