Random Tuesday Morning Thoughts

This morning I did what might be the most bad ass thing I’ve ever done. I was in the bathroom, getting ready for my day. I looked down at the floor and saw a spider running toward me. I was barefoot. He was moving really fast. I didn’t have time to pick something up so… I stepped on it with bare feet.

Like I said… bad ass.

Vice President Harris picked her running mate. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. He used to be a high school teacher. I think that is outstanding. I think that’s the kind of thing we need. He also never committed treason and tried to overthrow the Federal Government. I think that makes him a good choice.

The Smashing Pumpkins released a new album this week. I really did not like the last couple. I tried. I really did. I just couldn’t get into them. This one though… I’ve listened to seven of the 10 songs so far this morning and it’s really good. I’m enjoying this record a lot.

I did not get a chance to play any guitar this morning before work. I just procrastinated and ran out of time. I wanted to, but I failed. I won’t have time tomorrow morning, so let’s hope for better time management on Thursday. I did take a couple of pictures though. One is basically yesterday’s photo a day picture taken from the opposite angle. How creative of me?

Finally, in closing… a cat.

Smashing Pumpkins

The Smashing Pumpkins put out a call for a new guitar player. They are asking for resumes.

Should I send one?

90’s Rock Nerd Giggle

Did you know that the recent Deluxe Edition of the album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by Smashing Pumpkins has 92 tracks and runs for 5.8 hours?  I am in the midst of a full blown 90’s rock nerd giggle with glee fest over this record.  I was in pretty much the same state back in 1995 when the album originally came out.  I was much the same in ’93 when Siamese Dream came out, and in ’91 when I first heard Gish.

I am the target audience for these reissues.  Someone who was in college when the band was at its height, who is now an old fart with a desk job and money to spend on things like this.

92 freakin’ songs!  WOOHOO!
