Fun night tonight. Had some friends over, and I made salsa and a fruit salad (pineapple, peaches, cherries, strawberries, blueberries, bananas, and a touch of honey to finish it), and Bill (you saw him in an apron) made some tacos and dirty rice and his wife made a great salad. We had a couple daquiris and mojitos (with the fresh mint from the yard, listened to some music, and generally just had a good relaxing night. We were celebrating the one year anniversary of Lily’s adopting me, even though it is tomorrow, and Jill had just finished her exams. Nice to just unplug and just forget about all the bullshit.
For some reason, I’ve had this song going through my head for the past couple of days:
I guess I’ve also had this running through my head, and usually I would refer to it as dystopian angst, but it doesn’t seem too futuristic anymore. Enjoy, I guess.

All the lies we were told…..
yes, that is a good song.

And here I thought you had finally revealed yourself to your commentariat. Sigh. The apron is quite fetching I must say.
Added just because I can:

It’s nice to hear that. The menu sounds yummy. Bad Horse has achieved a major milestone this weekend and I really want to tell you guys everything (actually I’ve wanted to tell you for the last 9 weeks), because I’m so proud, but if I did, that would reveal his secret identity and that I cannot do. So I’ll just have to listen to JC’s good music tracks and bid you all a good night.

Sometimes out on the Internets you find some really cool shit:

A bit on the pricey side, but for a birthday or special day treat it would be worth a taste of something familiar. Oh and yes these are the guys who throw the fish.

Lalalala. I’m John Cole and I have a beautiful and wonderful life and you don’t. Thanks John!

“Goodbye Blue Sky” seemed futuristic to you??
My read has always been that it’s about the Blitz in WWII. Not much futuristic about it.

@Bad Horse’s Filly: I do have a bit of a charmed life, in no small part to the alcohol, celexa, xanax, pot, cigarettes and maturity level of a 12 year old.

So Bob isn’t a commenter here? Or is he? Cool vid. Never heard this song before. Love the Floyd song, of course. You do like the good life, doncha, Cole?
@Yutsano: Love that song! I’m doing a sitting dance just for you.

Sounds like a perfect evening. Love this song which was used to great effect in The Sopranos episode “University.” Superb.

Are the Kinks the only underrated band from the 60’s?

Well, after this post and dozens before it, I have finally come to the conclusions that John changed his mind on marriage equality and other gay issues for a lot of now obvious reasons.
Just kidding.
But could you post the salsa recipe? I’ve tried many online, but I can never seem to get a good one.
Or maybe this post is too far down to even notice anymore.

Ooooh. I love that song. I remember it most from that episode of the Sopranos where Ralphie murdered one of the strippers. Still kind of gives me the creeps to hear it, but I do love it.
