Since A&E seems to be rerunning everything
4 or 5 times in rapid succession, I'll look for the Longet City Confidential again to see if I can catch Andy Williams. Thanks for the tip. Ah... the beautiful people.
Can't sleep. Still worked up over that stupid psych session yesterday. Woke up and decided that if they make me take that thing again, I will skew the scores so they are off the chart... <ggg> There's a score at the end to see how consistent you are in your answers. The higher the score, the more consistent. Most people are between 30 and 60... I was at 65... 75 to 100 is extreme... Think I'll go for 100 next time.
Talked to Magic House Mama about it last night... she was a double major... psych being one of them. She hates these tests and dopey "team building" exercises. Says that's what you do with children... not adults. I agree. How invasive.
We have a guy in our group who is probably over 60. He had trouble with the score sheet... a lot of little ovals to be filled in. I said to him that obviously he got out of school before they started pigeon holing everyone. Guess I came of age the same time computer scoring did.
I bet he hates the whole thing. He's much cooler than I in that he is better at hiding his feelings... Oh yeah... the bizarre part... he looks like my father did at his age. It is a little disconcerting for me at times.
Listening to the Limeliters again. Man! They nailed the social trends that were born in the early 60s... Gunslinger. The beginning of the psychobabble socialist philosophy that's brought this country down (JMO). The intro:
"There's no such thing as a bad cowpoke
Only a sick one."
Marvin: the beginning of credit card debt. From the lyrics... "Glory, glory hallelujah. Let the credit company sue ya. Cause while it lasts you sure can have a great, big swinging ball."
Vikki Dougan intro: "She was photographed wearing a backless, strapless gown revealing a new cleavage." In the song, Gottlieb calls it a "caleducian (spelling?) cleft." (If you can find the proper spelling for me, I'd be grateful. I've been looking all week.) The starlets' outfits have become more and more revealing... until nothing is left to the imagination these days... as I ramble, I start thinking back to the films of the 30s... some of the sexiest dresses ever put on the silver screen... clingy, slinky but still left things up to the imagination.
Limeliters rule. :-)
Eaton's Corrasable Paper... the easy erase typing paper. What a concept. We did not have computers or spell checkers. If you wanted a copy, you made a real carbon. If you couldn't spell or made typos... you did not get an A. Helped build accuracy. If you do it right the first time, you do not waste time redoing it.
Oil change this morning and tires to be rotated. Not sure when the front brakes were done last. I have to check my little glove compartment log of all repairs and gas consumption. Just a little anal on this end as far as the cruisemobile goes. I'm about 15 miles away from 174,000 miles on the odometer... 118,000 of those are mine in 6 years... and I'm still in NJ. EEK!
Read somewhere that in spite of NJ's extremely dense population we are at the bottom of people killed per 100,000 in highway fatalities a year. If you experience the daily volume of traffic in these parts, you'd realize what a miracle that is. Guess we're not the worst drivers on the planet though we may rank in the craziest category.
Full moon tomorrow night. Maybe I'll be able to sleep better when it goes on the wane.
Birds are finally awake... they are how I tell it is time to get off the machine and into the shower on weekdays. <g> Temp was a delightful 49° on the deck at 4:30.
Have a good one.
