gwynI think that's maybe my favorite of the spam headers I've gotten in the past few years. You shall have it! It's like Gandalf wrote it or something.
I did not get to see Christian Kane last night after all. My dad had a 'sode of not breathing, and I had to go down and try to talk them out of sending him to the hospital (because no, no, no I am not going there for holidays again so help me god). And of course he is almost fine today, though it's hard to talk to him because he doesn't breathe well, so the words kind of die out when he says them. Anyway. I am incredibly disappointed; a part of me hopes it was a terrible show or something so I won't have missed out. I mean, I was soaking wet and freezing cold and miserable down there, I might as well have been wet and cold and unhappy at a show where I got to gaze upon the fineness that is Chris Kane and listen to his music, you know? Frak.
I have to admit, it's nice having the iPhone -- being able to go online while I'm waiting for people is really, really nice. That first bill hurt, no doubt, but I am enjoying it enough that I guess it's worth it.
Miss Tilda and I and the cats just hunkered down in the house last night while I worked and it poured biblical rain, after I got home at like 9. Tried to catch up on some TV in the background, but there's still so much I haven't watched. Is anyone else watching AMC's Hell on Wheels? I was excited about a western, especially one set in the railroad industry, and it had Common in it as well as Colm Meaney, but... man, it's not very good. Not good at all. Everything is painted with a really broad brush, it's filled to the brim with cliches, and full of anachronisms of language and dress, and kind of annoys me. I want it to be better. I'm going to keep watching, though so far, I'm not a happy watcher or a fan. I'm curious what others think -- I haven't seen the third episode yet, and wonder if it's worth the time investment? It feels like it's desperately trying to be Deadwood but failing.

Date: 2011-11-24 08:28 am (UTC)I just had one from a little old Irish lady with cancer, who had somehow amassed 4.6 million dollars, and stashed it in a bank in Malaysia, and wanted me to have it so I could spend it on widows and orphans.
Sorry you missed the gig.

I love that icon!
