my second entry
I started this after the severed heads list disappeared. I wanted something a little more permanent and a place where people can comment on my ideas and writing. Also, it fulfills something people have been on my shit for years about. Now, all I need to do is write my autobiography, and my obligations to society will be complete.

There's a picture there and everything. It's a little old, but the only difference is I weigh about 15lbs more and have less hair on top and more in back.
Right now, Beth is collecting Elizabeth from school. We will have dinner and then it is off to Friday Swimming Lessons. Our ritual goes like this: I whip up a quick dinner, and then we scoot down to les petite baleen, where E. takes lessons. After that we go to a gas station where she buys a small donut or some juice, I buy some nuts, and then we drive to the video store. Our friends, Charles and Terri are visiting us this weekend, so I doubt that Beth and I will rent anything, but Elizabeth invariably does - usually a disney flick or ScoobyDoo or something equally amenable to a sweet little seven-year-old girl's heart. Then she gets to stay up late and watch her movie.
Tomorrow we await C&T's call so we can arrange to meet on Sunday. I used to work with Charles at Macromedia in Tech Support. He moved to Seattle and met Terri there. We are fond of Terri - she's extremely fine people.
Today's Frustrations:
Not enough sleep.
Bush is still President.
Today's Elations:
Carly is still no longer running the ship at HP. Beth works at HP, and neither of us were keen on them hiring Carly...
My work is on exhibit at The Coyote Point Environmental Museum. Yay!
I realise this is total newbie blogger stuff, but I am just so happy to be able to do this -
what I am listening to right now:

Song - Artist - CD/LP

love,
HW

Henry I always find your listings interesting...
Today, upon an impulse, I dusted and arranged our vinyl collection and found the copy of "Station To Station" by Bowie. It's one of my favourite albums, and the best one of his Berlin era albums. My copy is second-hand purchased years ago, and has the title in special Braille marking tape on the edge of the sleeve. I like to imagine it's from some blind person's collection. On the cover is a still from the Roeg film, "The Man Who Fell On Earth".
Hey there!
I have the same LP. I love that record (and the one after it, LOW) so much I actually own the sheet music. FYI, Station to Station was the last of his LA records. He was hanging with a very weird crowd in LA and doing WAY too much coke during S2S. He went to Berlin after that to clear his head and that's when he did some of his best work: Low, Heroes, and (IIRC) Lodger. I tend to lump Scary Monsters in with that group, even though he had left Berlin by that time.
His work during that time was very influenced by Brian Eno, who helped produce those records.
I also own a DVD of The Man Who Fell To Earth. It's one of my favourite movies of all time, ever.
best,
HW
