Today's been a fairly quiet day. Good time to play some music.

OMG, I love this!

OMG, I love this!

He’s managed to stay hilarious for almost 40 years. I bought his first album in, I think I was in the 8th grade, so like 1982 or 1983.

The creativity of people quarantined. What a nice job they did.

I took a 30 minute dive back into some old Weird Al songs at lunch, and it was wonderful.

But the first Weird Al song I ever heard was "I Love Rocky Road":

"White and Nerdy" is my absolute favorite! I also like "It's all about the Pentiums", "Amish Paradise", "That's your horoscope", and "Driving a truck with my high heels on".

 

[Steve]

Okay. Why didn't I know about this one? I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt.

"Now I don't want your drama.
If you really wanna
leave out that Oxford comma."

I tend to leave it out because I've left it out for 35 years, but I catch all kinds of hell for it.

I did a thing. Just had to get up and dance - this is completely improvised.

The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy

And you should be ashamed of yourself.

Haha, am just not a movies sorta guy ;D. Although I've heard of the book/books too, seems to be popular!

The books are better. Not dissing the movie, as I said I loved it, but...the books are a must-read.

Karate boot camp starting soon! Mario's voice:

"Let'sa goooooo!!!!!"

The books were great. Mostly just absurd situations and a lot of gallows humor. The delivery is very deadpan, and Arthur Dent, one of only a few humans left from Earth, is the straight guy. This is actually where I got the phrase, "Mostly harmless," that I use under my avatar.

The idea is that the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is an actual guide book for hitchhikers, with helpful tips about places. Early in the first book, Arthur Dent sees the entry for Earth, and it's only one word long: "harmless." He pitches a fit, and his buddy (an alien who has spent 15 years researching) assures him it will be changed in the next edition to, "Mostly harmless."

I learned something yesterday. I was curious enough to look it up, and it appears that the radio show came first, then the first book was adapted. Huh...

As with so many movies, it was a book first (actually a series of short radio bits) first, and the book is much better.

I somehow missed that one, too. Thanks for posting it!

I did not know that. Huh, indeed.

Made some soap today... olive oil, palm oil, coconut oil, and castor oil. Added colloidal oatmeal and activated charcoal. Should be a pretty mild bar, good for a friend who has eczema.

Tried to make it look fancy, but we shall see tomorrow. I can make good soap, but I really have a long way to go before it’s as fancy as some of the stuff I see. All my bars are pretty plain looking.
