Odd? Disturbing? Weird?
I had to stop by the card shop to get a sympathy card Thursday and I'm pulling in behind one of those two seater little black Honda "wish I was in Faster and Furious-er" cars - like Marty drives. And they turn the corner and there is this rainbow sparkle in the paint job - remember cars in the 70s with that metallic sparkle? I thought it was - well, less than manly.
Then I stop at Wendy's for some - well, breakfast for me. I order and the dude kid at the counter, I notice, is wearing a ring on his thumb, some kind of Celtic band. [But to be fair, he was wearing the latex / food handler glove.] Dudes with thumb rings? I thought that was only for lead singers. This dude did not look like a lead singer - he looked a lot like Elias [Trevor Fehrman] from Clerks 2.
Am I just getting old and cranky?

Random Misfires:
You can tell when the weather turns nice in Texas - all the two seater mid-life crisis BMW and Mercedes convertibles come out and you see all these men getting their bald spots sunburned [while thinking they are so cool!] on the freeway.
Telemarketing machine calls my house - the message starts - remember, they are calling me - "Please hold for the next available representative, it is very important that we speak to you." If it's so damned important, why are you calling me and putting me on hold? To see who is was [and get them to stop calling] I held, the gentleman asked to speak to someone who's name was not mine but I didn't catch clearly, I said "I'm sorry?" [meaning 'say again'] and they hung up on me! While on the subject, it is ever really the last time that the machine calls about lowering my interest rate or extending my vehicle's warranty?
If you're looking for an all over them map CD you can pop in and just piddle around the house [other than one of my own compilations], I can highly recommend the Theme Time Radio Hour with Your Host Bob Dylan CDs. Bob is NOT on the CDs, but the selections are just amazing! And all over the map from blues to rock to obscure Motown to the White Stripes. Boders is clearing out a bunch of titles, go see if you can get it for 40% off. Don't go to the store off Hulen and 30 in Ft. Worth - I have all ready raided it. Currently enjoying Johnny Cash's Unchained [American Recordings volume 2]. Johnny Cash and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers? Oh yes!
