Welcome to the pond

There I go again, not posting anything for a week!

Happy 4th of July to all my American friends out there!! What a great country, where one can make their own blog and say whatever the FUCK they want!! Unfortunately, I don't have much to say today!! But at least I'm posting something.

I've been posting a bit at my poetry blog so you should all go read some of my stuff. If I'm not posting much in here, go check over there and see if there's anything new in the poetry pond.

I bought the DVD of Gangs of New York yesterday. The special features look good, lots of little documentaries about the movie and the time period. I've been listening to the Martin Scorcese audio commentary, and he tends to ramble sometimes but most of the time he has really interesting stories or bits of information. It's also neat to hear the story about what Scorcese went through to get the movie made and what actors he was thinking of for the parts, and how he got the actors he did for the final movie. I love New York and its history, I love immigrant history, Irish and Irish-American history, I love compelling characters and stories with context, and I love folk music. So this movie has a lot for me to love!! That's why I couldn't wait to get it on DVD.

Well, that's all I have to say today except for a This or That. Anyone got any questions? Anything you want me to talk about? Should I get off my butt and do another album review? Any and all feedback would be just awesome. Now, here's the This or That:

1. Lemonade or Ice Cold Beer? Lemonadddddeeee.......that cool refreshing drink (for all you 80's Eddie Murphy fans).
2. Swimming pool or beach? Swimming pool.
3. Long weekends here & there, or a 2-week vacation? Long weekends here and there, with a 2-week vacation every few years for fun.
4. Destination: Acapulco or Hawaii? Hawaii!!! Maui especially, I love that place.
5. Destination: Mountains or Beach? Awww I can't choose!! But there's always been a spot in my heart for the Oregon Coast.
6. Hotel/motel/B&B or camping? Camping can be fun, but obviously if you're in the city a nice hotel or motel hits the spot.
7. Carefully planned vacation, or play it by ear? I think I prefer the planned ones - at least the destination and all that. As far as activities, just play it by ear sometimes.
8. Sneakers or sandals? Sneakers for me.
9. Air-conditioning or fans? Air conditioning!!
10. Concerts in the park or baseball games? Concerts in the park!!
