Fractured fairy tales from a 50-something
I don’t know how many of you are sci-fi fans. If you’re a fan of the defunct TV show Firefly or if you are fond of the movie derived from the show called Serenity, then you are probably familiar with the term “bright & shiny”.
Actually, the title is a bit of a misnomer. Most people who live in Minnesota would interpret that to mean, “OH MY GAWD! Will winter never end?” Or “I want to hack and shred small furry animals and gnaw on their dead, crusty corpses!” Well, maybe that’s not how most Minnesotans get but I sometimes find myself on the ragged edge of sanity about this time of year.
A few years back, I thought I was going to come into a great deal of money (I didn’t). Well, as any sensible middle-aged guy would do, I went out looking at sports cars. The Diva and I went straight to the Lotus/Jaguar dealership.
Last night, the Diva Drew and I met Dr. Brenda Kayzar of the University of Minnesota at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis to hear Teddy Cruz speak. Teddy is a Guatemala-born architect who is busy working at ground zero at the deadly border between the slumbering city of San Diego and the war-mongering hordes in the slums of Tijuana, Mexico.
My friend Dawn was over one Friday night lot too long ago for Sci-fi Night. The Diva Drew made a spectacular dinner, as always, and Dawn brought caramel corn (or carmal corn, as we Midwesterners pronounce it). During dinner, the conversation turned to cats.
The best explanation I can think of is to listen to the Bob Wayne's Weblog theme song. Yes, that's right, I have a theme song (conveniently stolen from "What Do You Want From Life" by The Tubes). Enjoy and don't forget to tell me what you really think!Official Bob Wayne's Blog Theme Song
