Musical Mothers Day
Just a short entry today as I’m going over to my parents house for Mothers Day and another fun-filled day of fun and excitement (I actually mean that. When the Miller Clan get together it’s loud, riotous and a lot of laughter!)
RAGE (the best music video show on the entire planet) played some cool stuff last night – Mercury Rev, Bright Eyes, Kings Of Leon, Sonic Youth and more. It’s only shows on Friday and Saturday nights but the cool thing is that it plays all night and into the morning. It’s also good for the indie bands that probably have a hard time nowadays (like when’s that ever changed?). Every Saturday night they have guest programmers – local artists and international. Last nights show was programmed by the Black Keys and I liked it a lot! I wonder if I can hook up something so that Ken Stringfellow can program RAGE when he’s here – that’s if he’s not already done it before? Worth thinking about I guess?
I got a bit emotional before. I went into the library to look for something and found a box of love letters from Amy instead – so I sat down and read a few, reminisced, smiled and shed a tear. Not a great idea if you want to keep functioning continuously. Needless to say I had to take a 10 minute “me time” break to get back to normal again. Mmmmmm, no doubt we’ll talk about Ames at the lunch today? It might not be as much fun as I previously thought?
On the subject of Ames…..I think I’m a little annoyed that her mom or sister haven’t called me “on the sly” as it were. I mean I want to pick their brains as to how it is over there and what’s been happening. All I’m getting is Amy’s side of things and that’s not that helpful since she’s very good at covering up her illness on the telephone. I’m not sure on how the rest of the family are thinking now that Amy’s back with them. Mmmmmm, might see if I can’t chase them up early next week?
Ohh, and in case anyone is wondering…..As far as I know Amy doesn’t read this blog at all – though she is aware of it and happy that I’m finally doing one! I can’t say I’m actually worried about it if she does read it though because the Amy I know and love would be fine with what I’ve said here. She might be a little annoyed by one or two things but she also knows where I’m coming from and won’t hold anything against me……Well, only when she’s ill she will. When she’s well she’s cool about things. Besides, she knows I tell it as I see it and I don’t tend to keep things locked and bottled up inside for very long – if at all. She also knows that I love her very much.
So to both of my mums/moms (neither of which actually reads this), HAPPY MOTHERS DAY !!!
