Hey Baby!,
What'cha up to? Good night last night, out again tonight, or is it a kid weekend?
Thanks, by the way, for packing the "Muse - Origin of Symmetry" CD. I know I probably killed it, still listening to it...boy pleads for mercy, but that just means "Play it louder!".
"Everything about you is how I wanna be
Your freedom comes naturally
Everything about you resonates happiness
Now I won't settle for less
Give me all the peace and joy in your mind
Everything about you pains my envying
Your soul can't hate anything
Everything about you is so easy to love
They're watching you from above ..."
Followed by...
The underneath is no big surprise
Now it's time for changing
And cleansing everything
To forget your love"

You remember, the puppet-master? Until November 1st or so...saw it in FFWD.
Long drive...If I get the tickets, will you get the gas? Can you get a sitter for Thursday?
"Billy Twinkle is a middle-aged cruise ship puppeteer who dazzles audiences with his Stars in Miniature marionette niteclub act. His saucy burlesque stripper Rusty titillates the tourists, octogenarian Bunny invokes sidesplitting laughter with the inflatable balloon in his pants, Bumblebear juggles and roller-skates and steals the hearts of every audience, and society dame Biddy Bantam Brewster brings a bit of highbrow hilarity to the high seas with her drunken aria. Billy is the best in the business and on top of the world as he floats along through life.
Until he is fired by the cruiseline. Standing at the edge of the ship contemplating a watery demise, Billy is abruptly called back to reality when his dead mentor Sid Diamond appears as a hand puppet. Sid literally will not leave his side, and forces Billy to re-enact his life as a puppet show in order to remember and rekindle the passion Billy once had for puppets, people and the dream of a life that sparkles.
For anyone stuck in the middle – mid-career, mid-love, mid-life - caught between our own past and future, this requiem for a golden boy shines a little light on the wonder of youth meeting the wisdom of age with a kick in the pants to finish what we started."
Baby! It's us...
Any good thrift shop finds?

Hey Baby!
Any good thrift shop finds since we saw each other last? There were a few good ones in the states, but I couldn't get the treasures back. So I left them. But I took some pictures of what I've found lately....
Mind you I don't go that often, a little bit too broke, this new house is a bit expensive. Cheap for the market, but rich for me. Mind you, the market's due to bust anytime soon....
A number #12 Medalta Bowl. Mint condition, no chips or cracks. Bigger than the ones you have. I didn't take any of yours, when we split up I kinda thought of splitting things up like that, taking one from each pair of candlesticks, alternating things of value so they could suffer the same pain I was.
Over time they'd find each other again...
Well, maybe.
Some antique candlesticks from Value Village, $4.00. the pair. Note the style of the shaft and the base, unusual. But old. Also found another pair identical to a pair I already have - $8.00, also very old.
This is the old movement from the clock that didn't work, I had Ron put in a new movement. The one with the twisty pillars. But I liked the old movement and saved it. It's kinda cool.
This is a kinda cool old antique clock, for a toonie at a Springbank Garage sale. Runs, sort of (not well). But the dial is great, all crazed and cracked porcelaine, nice bevelled crystal.
SO you turning up anything good? I must say, the two or three times I've been out there since I've left I've not found anything. Nada. And Tina's as chipper as ever. New hunky male-volunteer sales assistant, though, any luck there? He was sooo friendly I wanted to kill him.
