miko2Got up early. Worked on some mix cds. Took a walk, about 35-40 minutes. When I got back I cleaned off the counter top which involved going through a ton of old mail and tossing stuff or putting it in a "to be filed" pile. Then I started my soup, around 12:30 which is a bit late for what I'm making but oh well, I'll cook it on high instead of low for a while to hopefully speed things up.
Right now I need to clean the other bathroom a little and vacuum, and work on my story. That's pretty much it. Take out some trash, hook up the speakers with the wire I bought (which is not really a pressing issue, I just wanted to get it done instead of putting if off).
Things that I found on the counter top:
(from my daily calendar of Stupidest Things Ever Said last year) a list of three odd books:
A Toddler's Guide to the Rubber Industry by D. Lowe, 1947
Truncheons: Their Romance and Reality by Erland Clark, 1935
The Bright Side of Prison Life by Captain S. A. Swiggert, 1897
(I have written on this page "The Cauze - Exile Records" and "The Decemberists" -- two artists I'd heard on NPR that I wanted to remember.)
Another page: "As yet there has been no reaction from the man who was murdered." -- newscaster, BBC News.
Another: "He repairs cottages and plants flowers. His eagerness to do good makes him one of the most popular." -- DVD liner notes from a Taiwanese copy of Alien II.
Another: "We want results in every single classroom so that one single child is left behind." -- President George W. Bush
This particular quote apparently forced me to plot a satirical story of some sort, in which one child is singled out by the government to be left behind, in order to save the President from any embarrassment. My very brief notes/dialogue on the subject:
"One child left behind --> Witness Protection Program"
"Ohana means family." -- "That's a nice idea kid, but I'm not your family I'm your President."
"Can I bring the game console?"
""Can't you leave me behind?" -- "No, I'm afraid not. You have to come with us."
"Why me?" -- "Your name was draw at random from a list of millions of kids. It's like winning the lottery, only you don't get any money."
I also have list of songs that is apparently designed to be a Manic Happy/Manic Depressive mix cd:
"What A Wonderful World" - Louis Armstrong
"Sesame Street Song"
"Alice In Wonderland"
"Icicles, Popsicles"
"Yummy Yummy Yummy"
"The Sun Is A Big Lemon Pie" (Main Street Singers, from A Mighty Wind Soundtrack)
Happy Happy Joy Joy
Walking On Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves
Manic Depression - Jimi Hendrix
Let Down - The Connells
Gloomy Sunday - Billy Holiday
Death Letter - Son House
Oh God - Platypus
I Wanna Be Vaporized
