It's always important to use things... Otherwise they appear useless and fall prey to rash thinking insane maniacs.
The potatoes are close to 1 inch cube like pieces.

I felt a weird tangle when I first used the word "inch"...

Bloggerson eat's what comes his way
Listening to la little Chris Rippin... He put this record out this year and it is a nice listen... This track I am rather fond of... Can't go downstairs now and find out. This is a true blogaroo... Remember the blogaroo of course you do... Its... hmm I just went downstairs... I was prompted by the "Hey MR how long has that chicken been in the oven"... My answer was the truth minus ten minutes... And then I had to get down and do some investigating... The potatoes are delicious.
King SR's deluxe fried potatoes
Get your wife to prepare small potatoes into 1-2 inch cubes... Try not to spell wife five.
Have her soak them in water for the night
Appear on the scene and rub your beard then decide to boil the potatoes gaping out a few times only to hear that overboiling hiss. Salt the water aggressively.
After the potatoes are boiled strain them then coat them in a fine Olive oil and spice the bastards... (I went with some "Greek seasoning")
Put them on a fine no stick cookie tray and bake them at 400 F
get distracted and hope you smell them before they are too burned ( good to have your work area {big laughs on the words work} above the oven.
Taste and claim victory or start working on an excuse.

Proof they just don't get it
The Harper government introduced on Thursday a proposed clean air act that would begin regulating smog levels by 2010 and looks to cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2050.
A vague and delayed response to a immediate and possibly irreversible catastrophe I learned about and was convinced 19 years ago in a geography class at West Hill Collegiate Institute.
So in 4 years we will begin... Unless there is another stall, and that never happens in politics. And by 2050 we will be cutting emissions by half... So in 44 years what happens if there are 2x as many of us polluting at half the rate we were 44 years ago.
Like I mean shouldn't technological innovation cut pollutants by that much easily therefore never taxing our precious economy.
I sense a "Nobody could have seen this coming" moment.

And then there is the odd jackass..
There are people out there who want to be rock stars who become confused and think that they are artists.
That is a very key statement full of truth... The kind of truth that most don't care for... I want to make it, is what I want to do but the moment I am given advise I blow it off because I am an artist. Either one is cool to me, but it is more a point of doing things right. You want to be a star then do the things that make a person a star, and if you want to be an artist... Although I think you would be an artist and you could nurture that thing inside you.
I all doesn't really matter... Be a business man for all it matters... Sell crap to fools. This is the Best thing for you... That fool thing you already have is useless... What do you do for a living man " I sell crap to fools, It's amazing what people will believe... It's not bad I can basically work my own hours and as long as my sales don't slide nobody gives a shit"
A whole nation of self expressing Hammerheads swimming towards the same kill unwittingly feeding the machine.

it was a rainy day...
Indeed, why not mention the weather... Works for family.
Better than posting the long unedited version of Carl Fatman and Mule Hughes discussing memory. Just imagine the Mule sitting at his computer.. Recall "how to write a blogaroo"... And he does his rounds on the world wide web and there it is an awkward 10 minutes of an aggressive Mule schooling Carl Fatman in journalism. There is one point when Carl is struggling and Mule snaps his fingers and says "cummon pick it up Carl". One of the fine keys is the use of the word "Carl"... Not like those other boobs that kept calling Carl by another name. I tell you, you can lead a horse to water...
I could just give up blogging and follow Mule around with a video camera... The title of this film is Mule Hughes riding the bus... I could dress up like a disheveled beardman reeking of booze and tobacco and sit next to him while another clever cameraman films the interaction... "Dysrhythmia, —Barriers and Passages is a shit CD" I would say in a breathy breath... But a guy like you might like them" and then nail the Mule with a hard elbow to the ribs.
Oh wellIi guess some things are better to think about than actually do.
Aint that right Mule

a collection of unanswered questions
I was reading a quote that had something to do with the worst sin you can have toward someone is not to hate them but rather to be indifferent to them as that is the essence of inhumanity. Point taken, but I'm not too sure that the one being hated would agree. A similar idea occurred in a book i read to Kaiya the other day... it is called "I like you"... and one of the reasons a character gave for liking somebody is that when they are mad at you you are mad at them too.
I am usually one to be indifferent, choosing to avoid arguments. Often it is because i don't feel the argument will solve anything... i am probably wrong, but that happens from time to time. It is one of those philosophical points that may have more merit in discussion that in practice. It might be one of the key developments of our evolution as social creatures who have had incredible resources poured into training us as consumers.
We are not people rather a demographic of consumers... where am i going with this? I try not to be a consumer, and i don't bother with people who irritate me... wasn't it William S Burroughs who said in a song titled worlds advise to young people "If you meat someone who makes you feel like you have lost a quart of plasma AVOID that person... you need that like a hole in the head.
It can be good to be challenged however... that will be the goal for the upcoming 21 Tandem Repeats year, although I'm not sure hate need be involved. I guess it's the word hate that is so wrong, just a strong word.
Back to 21 Tandem repeats.. as per usual. So were are sitting on a good CD and a bunch of songs that we could go in and record again, but there is just too much potential to do more, to create a "sound" for the band, or a voice... i do believe we have and have always had a voice. As Winnie the Pooh would say "it all comes from working together"... we all work differently but we need to find a way. I recall reading about a great band and how they wrote material together and the member was saying that they collect their best riffs and go from there, which is about the best place to start when songwriting. i have usually found that there are very few arguments when putting a good song together because it feels right, and when you are trying to put that flash into a bad song everybody has exhausting ideas that go nowhere... never be afraid to ban a song, it could have some potential but a song is never worth more than the band, even if it happens to be "charting" on some little known web page.
I remember doing a song with Roadbed called Honest Beardman... a kind of joke song that was shit together in the studio... later when Roadbed was chosen to be one of the countries top 10 emerging bands there was a battle of the bands competition held online and the song "Honest Beardman" was representing us... in some ways it was unfortunate and in another way it was fitting.
I did another late night show at the railway last thursday and i could be done with those. I feel like we play a mean supper show, and i don't care to organize others further. It got me to thinking about thinking outside the box for shows. One idea i had was to go and play some high schools (sure sure bright idea Robertson) and possibly talk a bit about what it is like to be in a band, and to encourage kids to get a proper education and enjoy music. I think too many people get in bands and think that they are going to make it and end up bitter broken souls... and music doesn't need to be that. i remember going to camp and looking forward to the campfire where there would be songs to enjoy together. Now it seems like most people go to shows to
1) Be seen so you will go to their show
2) Drink
3) Be seen because they know the person playing and there is pressure to support them
4) socialize
and then sometimes people go to listen. I will note at this time that many bands suck horribly and play at ear piercing volumes all under some delusion that they are the next generation of their heroes.
I am lucky music works for me.
