Let's Hope

HOPE that tomorrow is an improvement. I think today is a sour kind of deal that us old codgers don't like. It has been this kind of a situation: Etc. and Etc.  Let's view Turner Classic tonight....maybe feel better.

Bill Evans Produces Kind of Nice Work

BILL EVANS brand of jazz piano is a little happiness. Today has been gross...so a lift was needed. Any help would have been good, but Bill Evans keyboard work was a good recipe for this disgusting day.  I sort of liked Evans work on the vintage number...'Someday My Prince Will Come.'  Imagine many women kind of like that energetic song. Jazz helps heal us, sometimes.

Fine Lunch Comin' Soon!

GOLDEN CORRALL is so good!

I plan to eat lunch at a fave place today...Golden Corrall in historic Gwinnett County, Ga. It is marvelous to have all those vegetables and fish and shrimp/ what a blessing the little things in life are!

Gas Prices....What a Horror!

PAINFUL.....That's what is goin' right now in our absurd Americana culture.

It is hard to believe how DISGUSTING our gas prices are going.  And our big fellas are doing nada...we are just being dragged more and more into the yech slime that is our current economic absurdity.

PLEASE HELP US!  Put relief into all our sickened lives!

Oscar Peterson: Grand Jazz Indeed!

OSCAR PETERSON  is a man who made my day a bit better just now. I dug listening to the shrewd piano man playing a feisty tune called 'Mirage.'  And it was great.  I feel this individual Oscar Peterson has a grandiloquent, pizazz kind of jazz concept that is just right for the bizarre and silly curmudgeon known as me.

The Unkind Are So Odd, Thoughtless

I AM TIRED of the mean, unkind people. They foul up our odd culture even more. You try to communicate with them...and they do not even respond. Why is this bizarre stuff happening more and more?  Why can't we have a little fun and joy and some good responses in our torpid lives?

Casino Stories Are Interesting and Odd

'THE COOLER' is a sleek movie that paints a portrait of the wild world of modern Vegas. I find this film clever and forceful especially because of the carefully constructed acting performances of William H. Macy, Alec Baldwin and Maria Bello. Finesse well accomplished is also the essence of this wry story line that molds this film together.

VEGAS FASCINATES with its brash modern cacophony of unusual sights and sounds and achingly passionate beings.  The soul of contemporary art is resonant with encapsulating modernism and that is what resonates so beautifully in the big casino arena that is the world stage shown in the scintillating film known as 'The Cooler.'
