7.1.18 05:27 | In 1987, USA Network thought it'd be a good idea to produce a fourth season of "Airwolf" with none of the original cast, half of the budget, no new helicopter SFX shots, filmed in Canada. It was not successful. In 2018, instead of sleeping, I'm watching the El Rey network airing of episode 4x01, "Blackjack," where a helicopter containing a very unconvincing Ernest Borgnine double just "blew up" in an incident which also happened to place Very Special Guest Star Jan-Michael Vincent into a coma. Currently I am also feeling not successful. | |||

31.12.17 14:58 | I forgot to talk about new music this year because almost all my "new" music was by old fogeys making triumphant returns with 2017 releases - Black Grape, Sparks, OMD, Depeche Mode, friggin' Blancmange get outta here - locally, I really liked The Awful Truth's release but they had an album release concert in January and then WE NEVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN. There was more Nightosaur. Allison got me into Austra and not as much into Xiu Xiu. Kat got me into The Contortionist and White Moth Black Butterfly. Kris introduced me into St. Vincent...alas, not literally. I've forgotten so much already, I'm sure - want to compile my list of concerts a la Danny but that may take longer than I would care to take. Anyway, new music didn't go anywhere, I'm happy to report. Still haven't really listened to Kraftwerk "in 3D" and don't know what I'm saving it for. Oh, yeah... that UNKLE album. | |||

31.12.17 13:55 | If you play "Burn the Bastards" precisely at 11:55:15, promise to also kill whoever came up with this meme and start the new year off right - HOLY CRAP THIS SONG IS THREE DECADES OLD I'M OLD YOU'RE OLD EVERYTHING IS OLD "...and a very Happy New Year from BBC1."

27.12.17 07:05 | Damn, it's cold, yo. It definitely wasn't this cold when I left. Dead mouse #3 greeted me when I stepped into the kitchen, so we're back to normal fairly quickly around these parts. Toilet hasn't frozen yet, hooray! Moving the space heater down there so hopefully it won't freeze at all. Need to sleep for 12 hours, at which time the next Wolves home game should be tipping off. See you at Transmission, probably! | |||

17.12.17 03:29 | Once we got past the Timberwolves loss, I really had a fantastic night tonight, and I have dozens of people to thank, so of course I won't tag any of them. I'm sure most of you know who you are. Thank you all so much for being part of my life. | |||

15.12.17 15:00 | This week has been a sore throat blur and I've been really bad about getting things together but no matter what happens, I WILL be in Modesto Tuesday through NEXT Tuesday. I also have it on good authority that my brother and his wife will be visiting the California Republic around the same days. No word yet on their dogs. ðŸ»ðŸŽ„ | |||
13.12.17 13:07 | If I'd known then what I knew now, I would have just gone to Schmelz, paid for the rim (and new tire) IMMEDIATELY and saved myself a few more other stories I'm sure I'll be rereading soon. (UPDATE: I still haven't eaten the chocolate-covered cherries.) | |||

7.12.17 12:25 | Wow, that's....kind of depressing? Also, Facebook is really digging deep today... |
