New Music
Prince can pull off a masterful ballad. As much as I like some of his early 80’s and 90’s ballads, some of his recent slow songs have left me sorta, meh! The bulk of his recent albums have been ballads of this caliber. In my opinion he sorely needed to return to his hard rock guitar driven stuff. Tonight he premiered a new song, “Lay Down”, on George Lopez Tonight. Nice to hear him go back to his rock roots a little bit. I’m eager to hear the album that it comes from.
Speaking of his 80’s ballads the second song he performed was “The Beautiful Ones” from “Purple Rain”. Still his most iconic album and film. I think I must have listened to that album a million times throughout the 1980’s. It was my personal soundtrack during that decade I think. The most striking thing of this performance is the ballerina performing on stage. Misty Copeland, the American Ballet Soloist. Absolutely stunning!
High Desert Hay Fever
The High Desert Santa Ana winds were in full effect today with gusts over 50 miles per hour. At this time of the year it seems like this happens about every other day. It makes a person not want to leave house for obvious reasons. Blowing sand can be very uncomfortable. It also makes people […]
A better video…
Too short, but oh well… Okay, shutting up about it now!
Work Work Play
I’ve been working on the design of a site for a shop in town. It’s coming together slowly but nicely. I’m anxious to finalize the design. I’ve also been editing some old writings and some of the entries on this site updating missing photos, etc. On the fun side. We got tickets to the Prince: […]
Letting Go
It’s been a stressful day for me. The dumb thing is that it is mostly things that are out of my control. I have a hard time letting go of hurt feelings, I always have. The thing is, I internalize a lot of those feelings. I end up with stomach pain and acid reflux. The […]
Sick Day
I haven’t felt great for few days. Sinus headaches have been plaguing me all week. I slept till 10am this morning. This is very unusual for me. I felt sick so I got up and had breakfast and a cup of coffee, probably should have skipped the coffee but I was trying to wake up. […]
Taste The Dark Side!
Actually, not real but a great idea. Maybe we’ll get lucky and Lucas will allow ThinkGeek to make them. It’s not impossible, I still want a Tauntaun Sleeping Bag.
Ugh!
I need to pay closer attention while eating. I ate two Jelly Belly – Belly Flops without looking at them. The two flavors mixed came out to a nasty concoction that tasted like bile (isn’t that a Harry Potter thing?). Now that I’ve grossed everyone out my work is done for the evening.
The Sequel
This proves that Hollywood bigwigs can fuck up any sequel. The casting is so good in this short. P.S. I guess it’s a video kinda day. When Harry Met Sally 2 with Billy Crystal & Helen Mirren from Billy Crystal
