I R Son of Mechanic... Again! ^_^
Aug. 18th, 2010 09:58 pmAs of 6:30 this evening EDT, Rok'r the S-10 has new alternator and serpentine belt. Runs as it should.
Is it Partial "Fail" or Partial "Win"?
Aug. 10th, 2010 09:49 pmFound "Max", but no new Maiden to be found. I bought best of CDs of Steppenwolf and Morphine in its stead.

Aug. 10th, 2010 02:50 pmAbout the only updates I can offer as of now, is that I have a CT scan for next week Thursday. That, and today is another sibling's BD.
Oh, I really should shower so I can get a copy of IM's "The Final Frontier" and the finally released American version of "Max Headroom". I found that I also should replace the truck's serpentine when I finally get to the alternator swap.
I should be more enthused than this.

Aug. 4th, 2010 01:44 pmHardly any sleep last night, my hip hurts a bit, and I'm at chemo.
Big fsckin' whoop!

Just what I *don't* need
Aug. 2nd, 2010 11:20 amDamn, looks like the truck's alternator is going gimpy on me. With a whole week of medically-related crap (my oncology stuff and Madre getting her last cateract taken care of).
Sounds like a fun fucking week.
At least taking the weekend away from the intertubenethingamajig was the best idea I've had for a while.

Jul. 27th, 2010 11:32 pmOriginal post: So, if President BHO is a "Communist", is he:
Stalinist or Maoist? C'mon, I need to know.
My comment myself: Yes I'm asking this to mock an opinion about the current POTUS a certain person has, even though she is never allowed to access my FB ever again. If I didn't feel that BHO was electable, I wouldn't have voted for him. Thanks to Karl Rove fo...r picking that idiot, Caribou Barbie, my decision was made that night during the GOP convention.
Nothing short of BHO proving via yet to be fulfilled prophecy that he is the Anti-Christ, will my support waver. I might criticize him from time to time (Constellation Project for one), but he is far better than "Curious George" and Darth Cheney that we had to deal with for 8 years...
You deal with BHO for as long as he is in office!
Not in post: the unnamed person whose opinion I'm mocking is one of my aunts. One of the nicest people ever, until politics becomes subject. End of story.

New icon notwithstanding
Jul. 22nd, 2010 11:45 amYes there will be something going on at El Five tonight, but the drummer who's been a no-show won't be there. I heard from LT last night that "He that is called Brian" is from a primarily copy band mentality, and not too serious about original content... if at all. This does not bode well for Lt's recording project, as he probably has a couple more tunes he would like record to strike some back-rent from what the studio owner owes to have more material in the can. Ultimately, LT wants to get some gigs lined-up locally to play out for the sake of playing out again.

Jul. 21st, 2010 01:29 pmSooner or later this has to happen in my situation. Between the financial crap I'm dealing with because ODJFS can't do the job they are entrusted with, the seemingly endless weekly chemo appointments and a stoma from Hell, plus the lack of creative output had me awaken this morning to a down mood. After all these past months of being one of the resident smart-asses, a few encouraging words from one of the nurses helped a bit.
I have enough to get mad about.
Jul. 19th, 2010 01:17 pmI dub these fools the new ultraneoreactionaries. They want to undo years of needed changes. Basically put, this is what happens when you give an asshole power.

I barely survived...
Jul. 16th, 2010 01:48 pmBut I had a good time the best I could, right hip notwithstanding.
Reason: Iron Maiden concert at Blossom Music Center last night. Two of my brothers and I went there at about 6pm well in time before opening act Dream Theater came on stage. The temperature was about in th 90's for a good portion of the day, so sweating one's brains out was normal. DT was fine, even though I had not listened to any prior works they have done. Really liked the stands the keyboardist used during their set: one can be spun around while the other was on a pivoting arm to both swing and spin in place so the musician doesn't have to just stand there.
Maiden themselves had a fine stage show with the set looking like something out of the second "Alien" movie: the exterior of an abandoned base on some far away planet. They ran through some of their good old stuff* while playing some off their soon to be released "The Final Frontier" CD. Maiden has a third guitarist now by the name of Janick Gers, who gigged with Ian Gillan as well as Bruce Dickinson's solo spell. They even dedicated a song, "Blood Brother" to the sadly late Ronnie James Dio, which the audience really dug.
Eddie looks more like the mascot of Motorhead now, with huge fangs and green skin. That and being 12' tall. During his walk-on, Eddie managed to grab I believe Adrian Smith's guitar and tried to play a riff or two.
*Missing from the set: Aces High and Trooper

Jul. 14th, 2010 05:19 pmA little bummer news from today's chemo nurse: my white count is a little bit lower than usual, but I feel fine: no fever, but had a case of the green apple two-step yesterday.
I did get the truck's oil and diff gear oil changed after chemo. I should plan on having the fuel filter, radiator and tranny fluids changed out next time.

Hmm, I submitted the most recent "Battle Axe" chapter.

Jul. 6th, 2010 10:33 pmDon't already have a copy of "Not the Messiah (He's a Naughty Boy)"? Get it, it is a funny oratorio of a Pythonesque tone.

Jul. 6th, 2010 11:46 amWhy is it that I have no serious plans to do anything, but to relax for a change, that someone thinks I need to go to the eye doctor with her?

Jul. 5th, 2010 10:53 pmWent to my brother's new (to him) place in Rocky River today. He wanted a fixer this time around, that's what he got. As of now there isn't a kitchen at all, as that room is completely gutted and a new triple door stainless steel fridge doing its duty in the dining room. Overall the house is smaller than the one in Ridgeville, but is quicker to get at. With us, we brought along a copy of "The Fabulous Mr. Fox" for the young ones to watch. I still find that whistle-clicking the main character does (not so often as I find,) is still annoying.

Jul. 1st, 2010 12:12 amYeah I know; too easy!
Anyway, I just imagined the song in my music tag with Henson's Muppets.
Yup, bed time: cue the national anthem please!
