There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sounds like a blast -tripwise. (Even though the occasion for the trip was sad.)

It was more wake-like than sad for the most part. It was really good to see my Aunt Edna and my cousins. They hadn't seen me since I was 4.

Also great to introduce my niece Crystal to that side of the family. Her father just died recently and she's been feeling unmoored and there's actually a whole side of the family living just half an hour from her.

I had a funny/weird bonding moment with my cousins Jeanie, Connie and Malcolm when we were sorting out all the kids and ages and I realized that all of us (my sister too) had divorced and remarried and had children from two marriages. They also had the weird spacing thing that seems to happen in my family with 8 to 10 year gaps between kids.

I am glad Wuxtry was worthwhile!

It totally was. Though I was far more blown away by the Wuxtry comics store than the record store. It was a fantastic rambly mess. I scored an American Maid (from The Tick) figure for $6. I kept thinking: "Scola should be here."

Oh yeah!?! Well...well. Uhm. Your cat's breath smells like cat food!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And don't think Bevis Frond won't notice.

Historic Georgia Theater in Athens is on fire, radio is saying roof collapsed - probably a total loss. (Hasn't hit the local papers yet - those newsies sleep in, but Twitter has good info if you search.)

That sucks! Don't go messing with Athens, firebugs.

It's pretty much the biggest music venue in Athens, and the big local music fest (AthFest) is next weekend. Pictures: [link]

Zenkitty:

I actually saw a post about thismeansyou recently, and gave them a listen. I liked the sound, so they're in my itunes cart right now. I just have to wait until payday before I can buy it.
