Meat, Church, and Vaseline(s)

For all you writers out there with kids, or are kids, or just eat like kids: Mom buys Happy Meal and puts it on a shelf in her office to see how long it will take to decay. It doesn’t. Ever. Decay. “Happy Birthday to My Happy Meal” by Nonna Joann at Babybites.

And via Phil Campbell’s facebook- The Beliefnet blog takes a look at some ugly churches.

Here’s “Rory Ride Me Raw” by the Vaselines, performed live in-studio at KEXP last May.

      My God Wayne Coyne looks about 14 years old! For me, the Lips were at their best when they were splitting the difference between Pavement and Phish, and Transmissions from the Satellite Heart is basically the apotheosis of that sound. Thanks for passing this along.

      I wish I could _feel_ forever and always (instead of “once in a while”) the way Wayne looked in this vid. Pure sweet high. But watching it makes me feel the way he looked.

      Today I subbed (first time!) at a preschool in Berkeley, and looking into those kids’ faces, and hearing them use their emerging language and “watching” their “thought processes”, well, it felt kinda like the way Wayne looked, too. So I guess I’ve tied in the kid idea now. I would be willing to bet that those kids I hung out with today, that not one of them has ever eaten a Happy Meal.

      I’ll refrain from pontificating about the Happy Meal not decomposing, but I have my theories!

      Now I have to go look up “apotheosis” ( ‘hee-hee” -or- “tee-hee” – take your pick ).

      OK.

      So, one of the little girls at the preschool where I subbed yesterday, her name – her _first_ name, is Beckett. Beckett. How adorable, how cute is that?
      OK. Now my thoughts are all tied up with a shoestring.
