Knock...Knock

I've been working to update my web page, for all those of you who've been patiently waiting. Right now I'm revamping a bunch of the graphics and the page layout so it's been taking me a looooooong time. Unfortunately, I have also have been getting distracted by relentless home repair projects. I live with my friend Ann, and it's my job to fix things when they break...like the doorbell. I went to Home Depot and got a new one...one that plays 64 different tunes. I laughed out loud in the store aisle when I found out it played the theme song to The Magnificent Seven.

The Magnificent Seven (2000)
Starring: Jennifer June and her roomate, Ann
Synopsis: Hollywood-style adaptation of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai about small Barbie-style dream house plagued by UPS deliveries, and a band of small neighborhood children demanding attention. This influential doorway is highlighted by cameo appearances from a strong, soon-to-be-famous cast, and an acclaimed musical score. Solid, suspenseful entertainment for classic Western fans.

Sometimes Thursdays are hard, one long day away from Friday…”boot day”. Today was hard. I’m helping some folks make some program decisions at my day job. They need about a three foot high pile of paper to help them to agree and to plan. Someone asked me for some demographic data, census population numbers that the State agency had provided, I remembered from sometime last week that the paper it was on was green. And then I thought some more about it and got frustrated…mad that I was letting my brain fill up with garbage like that, remembering green paper. That all those bureaucratic details are bound to be squeezing out boot stuff, stuff I learned in Texas.

Sometimes my life doesn’t seem to make much sense…day jobs and boot dreams…seems a little like some kinda Roger Miller song.

“You can’t crimp vamps on an advisory board…
You can’t crimp vamps on an advisory board…
You can’t crimp vamps on an advisory board…

…but you can be happy if you’ve a mind to.

You can’t take a shower in a parakeet cage…
You can’t take a shower in a parakeet cage…
You can’t take a shower in a parakeet cage…

…but you can be happy if you’ve a mind to,

all you gotta do is put your mind to it.
…knuckle down, buckle down…do it…do it…do it.”

Tomorrow morning I’ll work on my web page update…maybe get the lip knife out, or try sewing in circles. (tgif)
