Golfwidow Gives Good Lip
Weekend blogging is pretty anemic. Anything I throw up here on Friday that doesn't include T and A doesn't get seen much at all. I'm gonna cut back and stop whining about how much time I don't have to finish my other projects.
But Golfwidow at The Ministry of Silly Walks correctly identified all 10 celebrity lips about 30 seconds after I posted them. Golfwidow is an extremely funny and witty commentator about many things with an apparent lip fixation. You will be entertained if you go there are read. She also does an occasional podcast that just knocks me out! Golfwidow has been a big fan of mine for about a year and has brought other fans to my fold so I'm delighted she won this first Celebrity Body Parts Quiz. She is running an extremely hysterical little project right now that is not a meme because she hasn't had the bad taste to tag anybody. God I hate being tagged. The instructions are:And now the instructions:
If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me. It can be anything you want -- good or bad -- BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.
So here's what I wrote about Golfwidow:
I almost remember that debauched night we had together in Poughkeepsie. You tried to drive over on your "People Mover" but had it confiscated for moving your drunk ass self down I84. You showed up at that little trendy bar near Vassar College with bloody knees and a persistent burp you couldn't explain. I gave you my jeans and had my legs tattooed to look like toreador pants. We downed a few house brews and headed across the campus looking for rich kids to mug. The first was a British couple. You fell in love with the guy and silly walked away with him into the shadows. I later found my jeans under a statue of one of the Vassar Brothers. I had been dumped by the Brit chick because she said she couldn't understand a word I was slurring and she hated the way I didn't dress.
You all have to go over to The Ministry of Silly Walks and read the comments and take part in this madness or just lurk if you must. But check this gal out!
The correct answers to the Celebrity Body parts Quiz, by the way, spell out Let Go My Ego. This week I will do female lips but not necessarily singer songwriters. I mean there are some FINE non-singing lips out there to consider.
I'm recovering from a three gig weekend during which I got offers for two house parties. Damn good weekend. I have to remind myself of my personal philosophy of work at times like this. I always advise people to take every bit of work you can while you can get it and save up. Because these things run in cycles and the low points really suck. In the early eighties I was newly separated and undergoing a five year divorce settlement battle. I worked about four separate jobs. Full time teaching as well as teaching extra classes before and after school and some weekends. I also was a chauffeur, taking people to the NYC airports and to Manhattan. I rode that horse through most of the eighties. I didn't play the guitar for the better part of 15 years. I don't even know what 80's music is. No time to listen to music. No money to buy tapes and CD's. To me Heavy Metal is Led Zep and that's good enough. So I'll take every gig that comes along while they are still coming along. Got a new CD to produce and a fine new ax to pay for. Not to mention the fact that performing has become an important psychic food group for me. Some people need to smoke and drink. Some people need to commit deviate acts. I need to play gigs. Of the three mentioned, mine is safest and most wholesome.
So this is a week of nothing but prepping for my video shoot and teaching some guitar lessons. And that was my weekend. How was yours?
