Kung Fu Fighting

Ah the lack of motivation. The open arms of distraction. The subtle lack of desire to write. But here I am yet again. But lacking in ideas of what to write about.

I could write about how cold it is outside. Very chilly winds that cut you to the bone.

Bill was in Atlantic City last night. I was here in Bohoken not doing much at all. I watched the Winter Olympics on and off. The sound was off a lot of the time.

I was posting and chatting and chatting and posting for most of the night. My friends Lisa and Margaret and a few other Facebook friends were constantly updating their status so I didn’t really need to turn the swivel chair and look at the TV screen to my left.

Yes kd lang is getting to be a big boned gal. I guess she hasn’t been playing softball or gone bowling lately.

I did watch Donald Sutherland carry the Olympic flag onto the field with 5 other notable Canadians. I also sat and watched with the rest of the world when the fourth pillar did not rise with the other three pillars.

Awkward for the Canadians eh?

Then Wayne Gretsky jumped in the back of a pick up truck and drove to where the Sex Cauldron Olympic cauldron was situated.

Watched Jimmy Fallon over Craig Ferguson after that and lost interest after Benicio Del Toro. I went to bed soon after that. Been having crazy dreams.

One dream involved Rush Limbaugh, another featured Julio & Stine and me standing on a ledge, inching away from them. Slept really well though. Woke up to my cellphone ringing in the next room.

Bill was back from Atlantic City and on his way back to Hoboken. He offered to pick up bagels which was awfully nice.

I did go out to the supermarket before he came home. Needed eggs and some other things. Saw my cereal on sale at $1.39 a box so I bought 2 boxes and used my dollar off coupon for 2 boxes and payed $1.78!

I even went back later in the afternoon and bought 2 more boxes and left a few other coupons that I saved on the boxes there. I had amassed quite a few coupons and could afford to be generous with my fellow Post Raisin Bran eaters.

Bill was up before he asked me to wake him up. He asked for 4:15 and he was up and about 10 minutes before then. He ran around the apartment getting his stuff together for his next drive to Atlantic City.

He’s in Union now. I just checked on Google latitude. Just another night in. Still have some library DVD’s to watch.

Also spent some time creating 2 new animations.

No, not of this blog, but 2 different songs. Kung Fu Fighting and 1999. Just some interesting lyrics said by 2 different sets of characters.

It’s been that kind of day I tell you.

Right now a documentary on Soul Train is on right now. Just started on VH1 Classics. I heard some things about it, so I might as well leave it on and get down.

Take It In

Another Friday. What else is new? Pretty tired. It’s been a somewhat productive day. Laundry mainly. That’s productive. Laundry isn’t about to clean itself. Last night was low key. Just TV basically, as usual.

It being a Thursday night I did not watch Keith Olbermann and still neglecting Rachel Maddow. By the time Rachel comes on I’ve had just about enough. So I watched Community which was very funny. I think the Indian dude, Abed (whom I thought was called Op-Ed) is the best thing on it.

Parks and Recreation was also funny, John Larroquette playing the old flame of Amy Poehler’s mother, played by Pamela Reed was silly. The Office was the best with Kathy Bates playing the southern owner of Sabre, the printer company that has taken over Dunder Mifflin.

It was a return to form for the Office, with the past couple of weeks being sub par at best. 30 Rock was also very good. Not too much Tracy Morgan which is a very good thing.

Tracy Morgan is probably the luckiest guy in television. His best routine on Saturday Night Live was Brian Fellows I think and that wore thin rather quickly. Elizabeth Banks played Alec Baldwin’s love interest and she was great as usual. And the hallucination after Liz Lemon had dental work done was tops. Jon Bon Jovi was actually good as well.

Bill came home in time to watch the 10:00 broadcast of Keith Olbermann but since he decided to clean up around his computer, I opted to play music instead of listening to Keith Olbermann. Bill had his laptop repaired by TekServe so after finally throwing out a lot of crap that piled up around his Mac, he started working on his laptop which needed to be reloaded with just about everything.

He was up until 1:30 doing that. He’s driving to Atlantic City tonight and tomorrow so I won’t be seeing him until Sunday, and most of Sunday will probably be spent sleeping in bed. The Winter Olympics start tonight. I’m fairly ambivalent about them. I may watch the opening ceremony though.

Nothing else seems to be on. But that won’t probably happen until later so I might as well catch Keith Olbermann. This afternoon while walking around town I ran into Chris Repella and her daughter about to go to lunch at Cafe Karma, or Karma Cafe.

Chris was talking to Eileen Lynch who I hadn’t seen in a few years. I think she might have moved but now she seems to be back. Also ran into Thaler Pekar who is a real sweetheart. She was looking good in her winter wear. Thaler and I talked for a while, she’s taking an improv class and I told her of my improv class story.

It seems to work for her, but I could never get past the most important rule of improv. Don’t say ‘No’. If you say no it ends the sketch you’re working on. If you say yes the sketch can continue in many directions. And my first reaction all those years ago was no.

Not too wordy tonight, so I will just end it right here.

To all the visitors who visit this blog and wonder ‘what the fuck is this?’, sometimes I have things to write about, sometimes I don’t. The thing was back in the day, I established a goal of writing at least 500 words a day. I was thinking of John Hughes, and felt I had to explain, and no, not that John Hughes.

Rand suggested putting it up on a blog so he created johnozed.com for me. Since I really didn’t have anything to write about today, I still felt compelled to write the daily allotment. And here we are with now over 600 words.

I guess I was wordier than I expected. Cheers!
