And we get to do it again tonight!!!

Browsing the supermarket I came across a display of Spam. I thought I'd not had that in decades so I bought a tin. When I tried to open it, the ring-pull thingy snapped off as soon as I pulled it back. I then tried two different can openers. I tried both ends of the tin but neither opener worked. There was a tiny hole where the ring-pull was so I tried sticking the prong of a fork inside and trying to lever up the metal casing. I finally gave up before I ended up with cuts and blood all over my hands and hurled the wretched tin into the wastebin. Not to be outdone I went out again and bought another tin - but haven't had the nerve to attempt to try and open it yet. Are they actually meant to be opened?

Probably...but the next time (and I'm sure that there will be a next time) that the ring-pull thingy (scientific name) snaps off, you could try needle nose pliers to pull open the lid.  I've actually done that before (not on a Spam can, though) and it works quite well.

Watching a powerful, disturbing documentary from Werner Herzog on the dangers of texting while drivings. Sounds almost ridiculous, but it is actually quite haunting.

Friends went on the barbecue trail and left samples for me from two places. Got brisket, a massive pork chop, jalapeno-cheddar sausage, a pork rib, some sauerkraut with pork in it and coleslaw. A fine dinner.

IT IS RAINING!!!!

[Jane]

I hope the fires are also getting rained on, without any lightening.  So far we haven't had lightening.

[Jane]

Tonight we rented a Blue-ray from The Redbox and will be watching MUD.

[Jane]

I should have kept quiet, the rain stopped after only half an hour.  Oh well, something is better than nothing.

[John G.]

IT IS RAINING!!!!

Yay rah!

[John G.]

Watching "Safety Last" with Harold Lloyd. It's been ages since I've seen this, and it's really funny. k

[George]

Well, speaking of bad movies, did anyone know/hear that Ishtar Is Finally on Blu-ray. And It’s Good! ?

[Jane]

Has anyone ridden an ATV?  I'm thinking of doing this and am wondering if I'm crazy.

[John G.]

You're not crazy, unless you ride it like you're on a roller coaster.

[John G.]

Starting Stephen King's "Storm of the Century." Didn't see this whenever it originally aired, but I figure a miniseries about snow might be acceptable when it's 108 outside.

[John G.]

Well, VinTek, welcome back.

[John G.]

And welcome, two guests!

[John G.]

I'm bored with my work tonight.

[John G.]

So, I'll take a break and make a few posts.

[John G.]

"Storm of the Century" isn't top-drawer Stephen King, but it does have one wonderful setup: A Satan-like character comes to a small town on the eve of a horrible snow storm and knows the deep, dark secrets of all the hypocrites in the town. And he takes glee in announcing things like the guy who manages to sell marijuana or the girl who has just had an abortion while her boyfriend is sleeping around with someone else -- all revealed in the presence of the rest of the town.

Good morning afternoon evening night, from ROME!

Rome, New York, that is.  Not that other one.

Accept no imitations.

[ChasSmith]

Talk about being E&T.  I read the notes early this morning then had to hit the road.  Will now go back and respond to a few things.

[ChasSmith]

GREAT pictures from the recording session!  More, please.

[ChasSmith]

I was whacked hard in the face during the first number because I was trying to get downstage for a "speech" I have.....my fault....I was out of place....but

But nothing!  We require video of the whacking!

Hello, everyone.

A quiz for all you music lovers: BBC.com runs an ad for Rolex. If you click on the ad you'll hear a piece of music that I'm trying to identify. Can anyone tell me what it is or who the composer is?

Thanks.

That's The World of Rolex by Shamis Khassenov.  You can hear the piece in it's entirety here.
