Remakes

.

Hollywood seems to remake a lot of movies: old movies, new movies,  bad movies, good movies, …

They should remake the Elvis movies.

I could be wrong; I usually am.

.

note: I wouldn’t mind seeing a few remakes of all those Kurt Russell Disney movies either!
He was pretty good as Jungle Boy on Gilligan’s Island.

double note: doing extensive research, it seems Kurt Russell‘s first movie role was actually in an Elvis movie: It Happened at the World’s Fair.
… and he’s played an Elvis impersonator later in life in 3000 Miles to Graceland. … and a few other things before that.
… conspiracy theorists get to work!

.

what I’m listening to now #29:  heat blasting out from kerosene heaters … strategically placed facing at me … in my general direction.

Breathing Through Life

.

“Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe”,

but sometimes “all I need is the air that you breathe”

… especially if I’m unconscious and poolside.

.

note: I use other people’s air when filling up flat tires and buying balloons … but mostly I’m self-sufficient.

double note: inflation is the cornerstone of the balloon market!

triple note: to air is human.

quadruple note: if I have no air, does all my money just go to the Government?

.

what I’m listening to now #2: The Talking Heads

MegaMicroMacroMini

 

If a megaphone makes your voice louder,

shouldn’t a microphone make your voice quieter?

I could be wrong: I usually am.

.

note: this cordless mic used to have candy inside it … now it’s cordless and candyless … and no fun at all.

double note: the next microphone I buy will be like the one Derek Zoolander had in that movie which I forget the name of.

Details Not Deheads

 

I always have a minute for minutiae

… things that take an hour bother me.

 

note: a cool video from former Things of Stone and Wood frontman Greg Arnold with his new band The Swamp Dandies.

 

double note: what he slaps on the fridge made me curious, so I had to pause the video to see what it said: “If your dog thinks you’re the best, don’t seek a second opinion
… I don’t know what he’s talking about in the video though! I mean what’s with that chick in the black outfit and then again on rollerskates???

Today #316

Today I put up pictures of my 5 great nieces and nephews that my sister sent me: very cool! (yes, I said great nieces and nephews)
I used to be the youngest, but somehow I’m in the middle of the pack now.

Musicalculating

 

“Cover Songs” seem to be popular with a lot of people.

Why doesn’t anyone start combining 2 popular songs into one song?

- Stairway in the U.S.A.
- Sitting in the wind
- Breakfast on the Beach
- Darkside to Heaven
- Smoke by the Dashboard Light
- Sweet Home on the Water
- Blowin’ in America
- Paradise on the Dock of the Bay
- Born of the Moon
- Sex à la Bama

Technically they should be twice as popular as the originals.

I could be wrong; I usually am.

 

note: Lynyrd Skynyrd were French! … Who Knew?

.

Today #265

It was so windy today that the wind blew the sun clear across the sky!

Old Futures

 

Thinking about the past gets me all rewound up!

 

note: I’m “passive digressive” usually.

double note: wind energy should be called “rewind“.

triple note:rewound” could be when you hurt yourself in the same place twice.

.

Today #208

You know the moment when you realize the water level in the toilet is too high: that was today.

La La La

 

Why can I “la la la” all day,
… but only “ra ra ra” for a minute before my jaw gets sore?

I’m glad I don’t listen to those “ra ra ra” songs: they are tough.

 

false note: J

note: it’s even more difficult to type “ra ra ra” than “la la la“!

.

Today #207

 Today started before I got up: like most other days.

Irreleventing

 

Sometimes I like to “irrelevent”.

I cant’ believe popsicles were never mentioned in Charles Dickens’ novels!

When Elvis died, I didn’t have a hamster.

AC/DC never won best female vocalist of the year in 1962. It’s a shame.

Other times, I just keep quiet … and think these things to myself.

 

note: one day it will all be irrelevantagious hopefully … one day.

double note: on the day that eyelids are classified as useless, I probably won’t even blink.

triple note: that double note doesn’t have anything to do with anything, … but maybe it does … eventually on purpose randomly planned.

.

Today #182

Today was so quiet at work I could hear pins thinking about dropping.

Fishy

 

I guess fish just say, “There are plenty of us here.

 

note: “depth perception” probably means something different to fish.

double note:sal, tro, tun, mac, sol, her, cat” … I’m practicing my fish scales.

.

Today #154

I wish there was a song about “today” in the musical “Annie” … I’m sure it would be uplifting, spunky, and a real toe-tapper.

Hobbies

 

I went to a bicycle shop with Mr. Pettit  today. He is a cyclist: it’s one of his passions/hobbies.

Me? What’s my passion/hobby?

I collect thoughts, phrases, ideas, and other things requiring little space.

I don’t need a space ship … a space shoebox will do.

 

note: I don’t need a bicycle either … just a seat is okay.

double note: since Razzbuffnik seems to be on hiatus, here is a band that defines cool … or hip on planetross:

Today #140

Today I realized that humming in a drum is okay sometimes.
