'Amused To Death' Ho-hum !!

Hi !!

It's a really warm & bright Monday afternoon, here in England's South-West corner. B & I have just returned from town and it was pretty good, just going around in the Sunshine !! Ok - I was in my wheelchair.... but - it was still a good !!

B - My Wife & Dearest Friend - is sat over to my left, reading J's lovely e-mails........ more of which later. As we've just got home, I've made her a drink of the tea stuff, that she drinks & we're both kind of chilling out. I don't think either of us have much in the pipeline, to do this afternoon..... sooooo - it's going to be a quiet one.

As for the rest of the family.....

The M & M's were here, on Saturday. They stayed for a bite to eat - it was, as always, great to see them !! Hopefully it won't be too many days, before we see them again, I love them both - they're such a great couple !!

As for our Son J.... well, that's a completely different story !!

B has just showed me a message, that he put on 'Facebook'. He claims, that I'm only asking about his stuff - that is still in his bedroom - to use it as a leaver, to get him to come here !! I'm sorry - J... you are sooooo very far from the truth, it's not worth my time, trying to explain it to you !!

To be honest - I'm so pissed off, with him, that I don't really think I can keep asking him questions any more. I just wanted to know, what he intended to do with his things, which are still loitering in his room. To that end - I sent him the price list of two self storage units.

I'm really past caring now - his room is going to be turned into something we can use & that's an end to it. I'm sooooo pissed, being called this that & the other - well...... no more !! I've had enough !!

Moving right along.... to the music of the moment...

As I type - I'm listening to the re-release of Roger Waters 'Amused To Death'. It came last week & this is the first time I've played it, from start to finish....  it's well good - so much better than the old mix, on the original release !! The tracks are:

  1) The Ballard Of Bill Hubbard
  2) What God Wants, Part I
  3) Perfect Sense, Part I
  4) Perfect Sense, Part II
  5) The Bravery Of Being Out Of Range
  6) Late Home Tonight, Part I
  7) Late Home Tonight, Part II
  8) Too Much Hope
  9) Want God Wants, Part II
10) What God Wants, Part III
11) Watching TV
12) Three Wishes
13) It's A Miracle
14) Amused To Death

I can remember buying a copy of this, when it first came out - I thought it was good then.... this re-release is far better !! I could of bought it, this time, on vinyl - but, I settled for the Cd version. Mind you - I had a bundle of things on order, at the same time... so, I had to buy the "cheapest" version I could find at the time !! Go & find yourself a copy....

Talking of vinyl - I have finally succumbed to the temptation & ordered myself a copy of Gov't Mule's 'Stoned Mule'. I have been looking for a Cd copy of it - but, as I can't locate one, I've ordered up the Lp version !! I have no clue, as to how good it's going to be - but.... it'll be here, sometime over the coming days (weeks !!) sooooo - it's going to be interesting !!

Right - my plans for the rest of the day.... none at all really !! I have some more Allman Brothers concerts, to listen to, but I'm not sure if that's going to be today - maybe later, time will tell on that one. Apart from that - well..... I have a few things in mind, but - I'll see how things go.

I have been measuring up the walls in the spare room, for some shelves - that looks like it's all coming together. I know what I'm going to use - the brackets & wood.... it's just a case of putting it all together !! It's been a while, since I've put any - shelves - up.... it's going to be fun, in a very strange kind of way.

I'm not 100% sure how much it's all going to cost - but, what the heck...... it's all going to be worth while, in the long run. At least, I'll get all of the Cd's - from under our bed, up where I can see to play them !! That was B's idea - and a good one it was !!

I must go - time for pills & cake !! I'm not joking.... there is cake !! As always - I thank you for logging in & reading my words.... until next time...

Bye Bye
