A Taste of the Funny - Weather Report

A clever thing to say, with regard to the weather, would be if it was, you know, maybe 35 degrees today but, then, looking ahead on the forecast, they knew it would be maybe 70 degrees tomorrow, and so then a clever thing to say at that point would be maybe "Chili today, hot tamale", as a kind of a humorous weather report because - right? - if it were literally 35 degrees outside today it would likely be chilly, and then if it were going to be 70 degrees the next day it would certainly be warmer, and might even feel "hot" by comparison.  Plus, then, you get the double food pun which is awesome - "chili" for "chilly"; "tamale" for "tomorrow".

Movie Trailers ARE Advertisements

So I hear about a movie that I like, and I want to see the trailer.  Well, I know I can go to imdb.com and likely look it up, all well and good.  (And, for the record, let me state this - yes, I know imdb.com is a free website to me and provides a fine service.  But.  Still.)  But then, before I see my trailer, they show me an advertisement.  But movie trailers are advertisements.  The movie is obviously a product, a product they want me to purchase, and the point of the trailer is to make me want to purchase the product.  Again, fine and dandy.  But if I'm going to watch the advertisement for a product, why should I have to watch the advertisement for another unrelated product first? As though an advertisement is the normal price I should have to pay to watch another advertisement.

Right, I know - because capitalism.  Still sounds like bullshit to me (as, in truth, much of capitalism does)...

Fire Hydrant Plus Brief Story

It's no secret that I see, well, crosses here and there in the world around me.  Yesterday at the Woodland Park Zoo, in my new hometown of Seattle, I thought I saw a cross in this little fella, so bent over to take a snap.  Even as I did, I wondered if somebody might see me and, as I was likely obscuring the hydrant, wonder what creature I might have in my sights.  Well, Danielle reports that a woman walked by and and said to her companion, "I wonder what that woman is taking a picture of, maybe a peacock?" (I believe the zoo has exactly ZERO peacocks on display; I believe that, should you not know me, it was my long hair that fooled her.)  When I stood up there was palpable disappointment on her part, I suspect due to the lack of peacock.  "Wrong on both counts," as Danielle opined...

I decided not to keep the photo; I only include it here for the purposes of the story...

My Mother Weeping Big Old Blub Crytears

on a couch in the living room when I was living on Pacheco Street in Santa Cruz with George Angel, Denise and Beth.  At the time I was dating Jamie, and she'd been over for dinner maybe and then gone on to her own place.  Wait, I take that back - I was sleeping on the couch and had given my mom the bedroom.  And George and I stayed up late and were bullshitting about this and that and, eventually, he went to bed and I did the same, and that's when I heard my mom crying in the other room, just bawling.  So I knocked on the door and went in and asked what was wrong.  It seemed out of the blue, her tears, though it was not that long after my father died, less than a year I guess, so maybe I figured it was that.  But it was not that.  No, instead she was crying because she was afraid that I was going to marry Jamie, and Jamie wasn't a Catholic.  That is what she was crying about, that.  Now, at the time, I likely thought I was going to marry Jamie, but I'm pretty sure I consoled my mom with the thought that such a scenario was inconceivable, not to worry.  I mean I didn't know what else to do, she was in such a state.

Stay tuned for the follow-up vignette wherein I actually marry Danielle, and my mother declines to come to the wedding.  Good, good times...

"Nightmare", Artie Shaw

Something I heard yesterday for, I'm fairly confident, the first time ever, while listening to the 40s on 4 satellite radio station.  I had to stop what I was doing and look at the monitor for title and artist.  From 1938, or so I'm lead to believe...

Outlaw Country Meets 40s on 4 on the Satellite Radio

So I've had satellite radio now for maybe four years, and I couldn't be happier with it.  Truth is, I do spend the majority of my time on the Outlaw Country station (Waylon, Willie, Johnny, Kris, various Hanks, Merle, etc.), but I do like to change it up on occasion, and so yesterday I spent the day over at 40s on 4, which is dedicated to songs that, as you might have guessed, are predominately from the 40s (though they spill over into the 50s from time to time) - big band and vocalist stuff including Xavier Cugat, Les Brown, Bing Crosby, Nelson Riddle, Louis Prima, Andrews Sisters, Dean Martin and like that.  I love listening to this music because I simply like the way it sounds (though there is a fair amount of, let's call it "cheese" that pops up, stuff that hasn't aged as well as it could have), but I also love it because I imagine my father listening to it in the 40s as he was going about his life in Los Angeles (he was born in 1907), and it makes me happy to share that with him, albeit way, way after the fact, and him long gone now.

Anyway, because this is how things work, I heard at least three songs during the course of the day on 40s on 4 that I would also be likely to hear on my Outlaw Country station (though recorded by different artists and far more recently, of course - Asleep At The Wheel for sure and perhaps Wayne Hancock responsible for the updates) - Jump, Jive and Wail; Saturday Night Fish Fry; and, I think, Miles and Miles of Texas.  Ah, the point when Outlaw Country via its Texas Swing component sets down for a spell with 40s on 4 and its Big Band Swing component.  I love understanding the through line, I surely do...

"Speedball Tucker", Jim Croce

Last night I heard Operator by Jim Croce over at the Little Red Hen in Green Lake, Seattle, and was reminded for the millionth time what a huge musical loss it was when his plane went down in 1973 (I remember it all too well, he and Roberto Clemente were the two first big losses of my childhood; how the radio kept playing Croce's I Got A Name afterward and how incredibly sad it made me, and how I would think, "He can't be dead, that's him right there." (I was ten.)).  Then, today, on the Outlaw Country station I heard this song, and I honestly can't say that I remember hearing it before.  A possible function of the aging process, perhaps, or maybe I really just missed it.  Anyway, in case you missed it, or your aging process precludes you from remembering -

A Conversation With My Mother

This is an accurate rendering of a portion of a brief conversation I had with my mother yesterday.  To be fair, she was on her way out the door to church, but I did offer to call back another time.  No, she said, she wanted to hear what was up.  So I told her -

• The job that I wanted I didn't get.
• My brother PJ (different mothers) is in the intensive care unit of a Central Valley, CA hospital with sepsis, pneumonia, water in his lungs, etc.
• Another person close to me was recently diagnosed with a far less serious but still not inconsequential medical condition.

To which my mother responded, "Well, I'm glad to hear everything's going okay up there."

Seriously.

I have long contended to Danielle that my mother does not listen to a word I say during our phone calls.  This seems to be the clearest evidence of that to date.

So a month or so ago on a warm Seattle evening, still light out and would be for awhile, we were sitting with some friends at the (somewhat) dimly lit bar in the Little Red Hen when the discussion turned to so-called "liberal politics" and then, in particular, to the systematic destruction of our planet by a variety of governments, corporations and so forth (though how this destruction might be a liberal-only cause always puzzles me).  Turns out (who knew!) we are against this sort of thing, and that information flowed forth freely into the conversation.  And, then, Danielle added, "But we don't get outside enough to be eco-terrorists."

And there you have it.  Oh Bar Keep...

Clyde and Your Humble Narrator at the Little Red Hen

At one point in the evening Clyde said to Jon, "Hey, get a picture with me and Michael."  Jon obliged, then forwarded it to me.  Little Red Hen - the gift that keeps on giving...

Danielle and I rarely give money to political candidates, opting to go with social services agencies instead.  That being said, we made an exception this year and sent a few dollars to Cory Booker, mayor of Newark, New Jersey, who three days ago won the Democratic primary and hopes to become the next senator from the Garden State.  Mr. Booker is smart and fuck all charming, he cares about poor families and supports equality pretty much across the board.  Haven't read anything negative about him (though I'm sure something's out there).  He also, as part of his day, might shovel snow off an elderly couple's sidewalk or, you know, run into a burning building to save somebody.  And, as if that wasn't enough, he's currently consulting on a fresco restoration project at the Sistine Chapel, because that's just the kind of guy he is...

In any event, we here at Infection By Light were proud to support Mr. Booker's campaign, and wish him well in the final election...

18 Year Old Israel Hernandez Tasered to Death by F-L-A Police

No, he likely should not have been spray painting that empty McDonald's - it was not his property to do so.  Yes, he probably should have complied with police commands and surrendered.  On the other hand, it's not like the police in this country have a spotless reputation for absolute courtesy when making arrests (especially with regard to non-white suspects), so maybe that was in his mind, who knows.  Or maybe he was just frightened.  In any event, the bottom line, to me, is this - whatever procedures the police are using are NOT working correctly when an 18 year old kid with NO weapons is spray painting a VACANT building and does not confront the police, he heads the opposite direction, and somehow manages to wind up dead.  I mean let's say he was charged with a crime, some type of vandalism - I'm pretty sure the sentence wouldn't have been Tasered To Death (though this is Florida; har).  What I'd like to believe is that, right now, at least one of those officers is saying, "It wasn't that big of a deal - why didn't we just let him go?" Too late for Mr. Hernandez, of course...

Video for Do You Remember...

Only a few months ago, Alexandra Niedzialkowski and her Cumulus bandmates launched a Kickstarter with a charming video, in which they all cook omelettes and ask for money to help put the finishing touches on the band’s debut full-length, previously recorded at Phil Elverum’s Anacortes studio, the Unknown.

Since then the band met its goal, got picked up by Chris Walla’s Atlantic imprint, Trans Records, and apparently filmed one of the most impressive music videos I’ve seen this year for quick sing-along single “Do You Remember.” As you can see above, the genius of the video is all about light, and the song is fittingly bright with Niedzialkowski whoa-oh-oh-ing between verses lamenting the loss of youth. “Do you remember when young meant invincible,” she sings, and you melt.
