The Man Who Lives For Love

February 13th 2007 by E..

Though I may not have been able to see all of Patty Griffin’s Free At Noon performance, I did get my foot in the door for running the board at upcoming fund drives and/or festivals…it’s good to know that more than a few people besides the on-air folks know how to use the board…

Went to Smithville yesterday for brunch with my aunt and uncle…it was really nice, even though the place was overtaken by Red Hats as we were leaving…I equated their overly flashy garb with wearing a Santa hat all the time…the difference is that, for the month of December, Santa hats are okay to wear in public, whereas these numbers should never see the light of day…it’s more like dressing up like a Mummer and thinking, “Hmm…I should get a dozen more people to dress just like me and we’ll go out in public to be individualists.”…I can’t really express it in type, but I just smacked my forehead…actually, considering who the people who participate in the Mummers’ Parade are in real life, I would love to see a West Side Story-style rumble between them and the Red Hats…no surprise as to who my money’s on…

Speaking of occasions worth celebrating, Valentine’s Day, better known as my half-birthday, is in less than two days…for the first time in several years, I’ve got nothing to give to anyone, and I couldn’t be happier…I might even get something for myself just to spite…my…self……that didn’t come out the way I wanted it to, but what do I care?

Dad and I are getting buttons made…not like the kind that hold your pants together (though I may have to try that one out), but the one-inch guys that the coolest of bands and other people give out…He’s getting the Little Josh Pincus, while I’m going for the E-Arrows Tag…I’ll be giving them to all the heppest of cats, so look forward to that, dammit…

As you can see, I just did my first radio show of the semester…what I’m really looking to do is podcasting…I am going to get a good microphone, and I’ve got headphones, but what I need is software…so, if you know of a good recording, editing and compressing software (or a program for each, I’m not picky), please let me know…

That’s about it…go do something with yourself…you know how I worry…

Lyric of the Time:
Every bomb is detonated every switch is thrown
And everybody tells me don’t be scared act as if you never cared
So I wear a blank expression to conceal my real impression
Turn off all the information radios just pick up that station
