RANDOM FLAVORS of the Past 20 Hours or So
Saw an amazing sunrise this morning. Well, at first, I saw the amazing reflected sunrise this morning. Where I was sitting as dawn broke (doing god-knows-what, details are sketchy at best) the sun was rising and its color was an intense spicy gourmet mustard color which was, at an odd angle, no less, blinding me in the mirror behind my open laptop screen.
No sight or smell of turkey or its many accompaniments on the T-day that seemed like any other, I began the next day with a PB & J. I ended it on reheated Supreme Pizza, but it wasn't delivery, it was Digiorno's. As I did, one of the greatest songs EVER came on...
Marvin Gaye LIVE & ALIVE starts off talking to the audience as the band plays the intro and there's that one half of a heart-beat where the audience is quiet and then Marvin lays it on 'em "Distant Lo-o-o-ve" and that scream, that collective scream of delight from every female in that audience, awww man...what a gift from god marvin gaye was...
With the pizza on its first run from Walgreen's to the oven to my gullet, I watched back-to-back "Green Hornet" episodes for probably really the first time...Batman-lite that, in at least the 2 I watched, totally under-utilized the show's only saving grace -- Green Hornet's side-kick/houseboy Kato, young Bruce Lee before he would shoot to superstardom in his own Hong Kong, where he was already the star of his show "Kato", which was actually the "Green Hornet"!
I'm not into Sci-Fi, Futuristic, anime or comic book movies (keeping in mind there are always exceptions to the rule in any half-decently self-ruled universe ie. my world) and Bruce Lee was its only draw for me. That and the fact that I was waiting for some thing at the start of the next hour, so I needed time-filler while I did a face-filler. According to the onscreen cable directory, the (self-proclaimed) most annoying show on televison, MTV's "BOILING POINTS", was scheduled for 3 hours starting at 4. As it has been WRONG the last couple of times, I wasn't about to believe it until I saw it. And saw it I did, some of it for a second time. With the exception of a couple highly-questionable segements I love this show.
Later on watched 2 of my all-time faves, recently acquired on DVD, the old classic: "Carrie", from Stephen King's first novel...and the "new" classic (from 1987) "Near Dark" with Bill Paxton and Lance Henriksen.
