Yodeling In the Gully
06.30.04 (8:47 am) [edit]Keneally is still thoroughly kicking my ass via his delightful Dog-gy goodness. This album has been played a lot lately. It's making me happy, which is some kind of feat, especially yesterday when I felt like a big slab of roasted dogfuck on a stick.
(How does one roast dogfuck? Is there a recipe book devoted to methods of dogfuck-cooking? And what kind of stick should one use? Does Martha Stewart know about this?)
I'm really not enjoying this sleep disorder shit, and yesterday was pretty much a total write-off due to me being more or less fucked. But today I feel better. Good thing, too. I've got two guitar students in an hour or so, and I don't enjoy being a semi-coherent robot-fuck in front of ten-year-olds. "Mommy, the bad man made me play a Locrian scale and I don't even know what a locrian is! When do I get to play some Limp Bizkit?"
I'm currently halfway through the third Harry Potter book, which I'm highly enjoying. Sheryl is way ahead of me, she's ready for the fifth one now.
I keep looking in the mirror and thinking" Is my hair OK? Do I look OK? Do I look like an ass? What about when it poofs out too much and I have that Carrot-Top thing going? Is it OK? Is my hair getting good in the back?" It's kinda absurd, especially from me, since I generally am not known for being terribly concerned about my appearance. I mean, I'm a fat guy with the fashion sense of a freshly-blinded tree-toad on acid. I probably should just forget about it.
Anybody else enjoying the mighty PR machine that is the Bush administration this week? "The Iraqi people have their country back." Pfffft. I imagine if this was the case, they'd be acting a little HAPPIER about it. They're probably a bit too busy collecting pieces of their family members to notice right now. So we stuck our selected puppet into place, it means NOTHING. But some Americans will buy it, and that's the point, isn't it? I mean, FUCK the Iraqi people, they're only the ones left with a shithole country after we fucked it all up in the name of our pathetic War On Terrorisim that hasn't done FUCK to actually curb terrorists. Ahh, they're just a bunch of towel-heads. Fuck 'em. Vote for me! I'm a good ol' boy from Texas!
In the immortal words of Mike Patton, "Shit lives forever."
Have a fine and dandy day, boys and girls. Or maybe just a fine day. Maybe a dandy one. It's not too often that we manage to have a day that's BOTH fine and dandy, in fact it can be quite a daunting task, but give it a shot, OK you fuckers?
Love,
Dougie

I thought with Dancing and Wooden Smoke that I had probably reached a pinnacle of Mikey-goodness. Surely the man couldn't write an album that I liked as well and as consistently as those two - and I was half-right. I like it even more. And what I think is even more amazing - that's just on the first few listens. You know how much fun it is to absorb an MK album and once you get used to one layer, another surfaces to engross your brain? I'm all a'tingle in anticipation! This be one tasty Dog.

The thing about Keneally is that he covers all the bases. Nonkertompf was experimental insanity. Dancing was a more pop-oriented album. Wooden Smoke was an acoustic foray. Now Dog is here, and it's a good solid piece of guitar rock. I can never get sick of this man's music as there's a seemingly endless supply of it. I love Dog.

The c-pap is still taunting me, the fucker. I start to think it's going to be OK, then I feel the thing burrowing into the left side of my nose and making my eye pop out. Then I adjust it and it does it to the other side of my face. Then I adjust it and it falls off. Then I yank the thing off and lay there for an hour or six. My dcotor gave me Ambien, and even THAT shit doesn't help. So I've been reading Harry Potter books. Which are NOT ways of puting yourself to sleep, but if you're gonna be up until 4AM anyway, what the fuck?

Poor you **hugs** Do you have the full mask or the nasal pillows like I have? I find them easier to tolerate.
