Weasels ripped my flesh.

Yeah, every once in a while, I pop up during the week. With no warning. This time, though, I don’t have on the clown costume, so it’s less frightening.

Speaking of less frightening, there’s many interesting birthdays today, including a guy who is not well known today but was… interesting; one of our true spiritual fathers; the last of the skilled editorial cartoonists; the one true god of jazz piano; a comedian who was more notorious than actually, you know, funny; one of the pioneers of Langmuir-Blodgett films and one or two other things; the one true god of jazz bass; a pop singer who actually managed to make interesting music; the reincarnation of the mummy of Amenhotep; a prolific cookbook author whose dishes were at once earnest and remarkably bland; a woman whom I taught about oral sex; the finest wide receiver I ever saw- or am ever likely to see; a guy whom I can’t decide is more funny or tiresome; and a walking punchline and a doppelganger of Mr. Ed.

Old Guy Music is something I don’t intend to be for at least 3 more days.

Here comes the crazy girl

I go out of control,
