Update 3-26-24 Trump signed a new order yesterday that people might have to show proof of citizenship to vote. Very few non citizens ever vote but the weird thing is birth certificates will not be allowed as proof. So we all have to get ready to show passports or other (birth identification) papers.

Sven taught me how to go shopping once in Summer of 2017 Updated 10-17-20

 

“Praise You” by Fatboy Slim. Someone in authority  said to me that blogging was a passive way of relating. Oh really, you think? 

I was an impatient shopper for years after he left us.

(Have been learning to be gentle.)

Space X!

When Sven taught me how he did it, this song was playing.

I sang and danced all around the store the whole time(praising him)! I was in Cheerleader mode

which is by the way another song that did not help! I made him a mix; it did not help.

(Gotta warn you: typepad.com erred and “Zen Sutras Finale” loops interminably without ever getting to the actual finale just like a Morton Feldman piece(if not as good as)!

ELP’s  “From the Beginning” is also doing that on this blog. Will try to fix.

Wow, I just heard on a recorded Bill Maher that the most journalists ever were killed in the last year. I guess “Trump is a symptom AND a cause”-Salman Rushdie.

6 Underground by The Sneaker Pimps

My husband suggested I sing this! Started off with a parody I'm working on of the original babydoll voice but he says it's better in my real low voice. Thanks! https://www.smule.com/p/96411729_1341397263

(Update 6-30-21): Oops sorry this link not found. I will look.

Dakin Humane Society is still helping half blind cats like this one, Argus, over a year ago. They recently took in a small kitten, Bernie, with a ruptured eye. At DakinHumane.org I'll try to be back with a photo of Bernie soon!

Your Personal DJ for Day 5 of the Trump Era

Sometimes you want to hear music that matches your mood! I may have a few ideas.

For today I have 1) "Burning Homestead" from Star Wars IV, A New Hope. This is meant to be inspiring and not depressing for the sheer craftsmanship of this music by John Williams. If it dips you turn it off!

1-09 Burning Homestead

(Bollocks! This will not play but if you click the link of Star Wars IV, A New Hope and buy or stream it on Amazon, you may someday hear it.)

2) And for those hard at the unsexy(but ultimately deeply-sexy) resistance:
I always like Sheryl Crow's "Every Day is A Winding Road".
