back to save the universe


blogger is working again. i panicked, the thought of losing my blog!

okay summer has started and i have been supremely lazy. long games of solitare and mahjong on the computer. a total and complete waste of time. my mind needs to kick into gear starting today. or maybe tomorrow. really.

and i have so many ideas for stories to write, plus a pile of great books to read. any ideas for breaking the internet addiction? the message board fascination? the radiohead message board in particular? or how to stop playing stupid games?

last night was uncle funky's final performance, and while a new band will grow from the ashes, it was a terrific band for the last three years and will be very much missed. we did a three-song radiohead suite in the middle of the set last night: creep, high and dry, and karma police. very nice.

on itunes: No Surprises. I love this, an ode to "a job that slowly kills you" and "a handshake of carbon monoxide." office drone seeks suicide..... what a rock song! and all wrapped in the most beautiful melody.

a note on the illustration - the kodamas from "princess mononoke" - forest spirits. and little imps that inspire creativity.

more, everyday, really.....the mind will recover!

That was so nice last night, listening to you all and watching everyone have such a marvelous and relaxed time... A really perfect start to summer.

Uncle Funky will live on forever. At least on those excellent t-shirts! Katie is utterly proud.

As am I.
