satellite radio haikus













pretenders, new order
all in one ride home last night
i kept on driving.

reminds me of when
radio didn't suck ass
and has real dee jays

with all your channels
i am never road weary
what station to choose?

deep cut by the smiths
the church follows the pixies
replacements trump all

if rock gets old
loretta lynn or sade
can pass my time well

how i love xm
clear channel can kiss the dirt
no use for them now

oh, I remember when MTV had veejays. Now MTV has all of the trash reality crap.

Even the networks, It's all about reality TV and Crime dramas.

Sitcoms are dropping like flies....

No one wants to laugh anymore!

i think they want to laugh, just at has been celebrity trash acting like drunken morons rather than cleverly scripted writing. "all in the family" was such a radical show and what even comes close on major network prime time?
people eating cockroaches?

thanks for the reassurance about the TB thing. i'm sure we're okay too- it's just weird to think about the possibility of having it. frightening really.

it is frightening, but i think your chances are very slim. it wouldn't hurt to drink some orange juice though or find some other source of vitamin c just to give your immune systems a little charge.

I sent XM radio my haikus and this is what they sent back -- a freakin' generic form letter. I thought they should have used my idea as a contest or maybe an idea for a commercial or at least an online hollah. Maybe I should just call this Shamere.

Yes they do, but you have to be a subscriber. It's the live DJs I love. The channels called Lucy and Fred are my absolute favorites.

Happy Birthday Audrey Rose!

Image
Audrey Rose Georges turned one year old today. Her mom, Angela, made this wonderful invitation for the occasion and has done an excellent job of documenting Audrey from a positive pregnancy test to her most recent milestone, taking her first steps, through her blog, My Daily Struggle . This is one well-documented and adored kid and I hope Angela and Papa Tim congratulate themselves on 12 months of excellent hard work. Audrey is a little superstar.

"It's too close for comfort, this heat has got right out of hand"

Does anyone remember the video for this song. It was so stupid. The Banarama girls were being followed by a trucker and they threw some banana peels on his windshield -- like that would stop him. Any other '80s fans out there remember any more details? I still loved the group and still love the song. I actually have this single on vinyl -- just like the picture. Tomorrow will be a beast. Today the air conditioning was like the Little Engine that Could except this little engine never made it over the hill. The dog pants all the time like she can never quite catch her breath and outside it is just nasty. Even at midnight tonight it was still 85 degrees and a super sauna outside. I have an elaborate system of fans set up in the bedroom and it helps. Andi even has her own fan and she sleeps jacked up right next to it. To add insult to injury, K called me at work frantic last night, "THERE IS A POSSUM IN THE BASEMENT!" If that exclamation doesn't typify the deep south I d...
