After listening to Rapeman’s Two Nuns and a Pack Mule more times than what is good for my mental well being, I decided it was finally time to track down footage of Budd Dwyer’s suicide. I am not sure exactly how I first came to know about Budd Dwyer’s suicide but I do know it was before I had heard the song Budd and of what I consider to be Steve Albini’s finest musical project. A quick Google Search found me the footage and through a stuttering Google Video page I was able to watch what so many Illinois school children at seen live. I don’t feel my life is any richer or poorer for watching it; death on screen unless it’s manufactured by Hollywood is so, nothing. I feel like I just committed a social taboo admitting to that.
I wondered yesterday why I wasn’t driving. I wondered this while I was sitting on the underground platform waiting for a train which had been delayed by extreme weather conditions and if I was this was going to cause me to miss my connecting bus. Normally I wouldn’t have minded this, but the hoard of scouts and girl guides around me made me begin to grate on my nerves.
This is a photograph of a tree I cut down in March.
I was amazed with how simple and easy it was to do. While I was swinging the axe I had nightmarish visions of the tree crashing down onto the neighour’s house or my own, but no it fell where I wanted it too and I was happy. The stump is no longer there, I had to dig it out two or three weeks ago, it was a bastard of a job.
This is a photograph of my lump of coal.
I found it while walking along the beach with my parent’s new dog, Rufus.
I decided Friday I need to watch the new Wheel of Fortune. I turned the TV on expecting to see The Antiques Road Show but instead was confronted by a scruffy man in a suit sans tie talking about the great prizes contestants could win. Naturally I was not pleased by this, but due to my lack of alternative options I continued to watch, and as I did I started to actually enjoy it. It has a Running Man/1984/Fahrenheit 451 like charm to it.
That is all.
