Ukiah Rocks (heh)

So, I was actually searching for Flash Video artists in the Ukiah area, but I've gotten off track, both in  downloading and listening to the Doobie Brothers' song, and in being distracted by this website:


I really can't fathom the 'mayberryness' of this place.  They not only look, sound and act like some kind of weird bumpkin sect, but their *dreams* of the future seek more of the same.

It really is freaky talking to them.  Utter disconnection for the most part.  I'm fascinated by their desires, but in the way that someone is fascinated with 'reality tv'.

The best part is the utter obliviousness that most of them have had to the disconnect.  When they wax poetic about the rural life and ask me to chime in the chorus and I offer a minored, diminished, or outright dissonant note, and they take it as if I'd agreed wholeheartedly.

This is by far the weirdest space I've been in yet.

From 'The Captain & Me' by the Doobie Brothers

Ukiah (Yokayo)

People rushin' everywhere
If they'd only slow down once they might find something there
Green trees and timber lands, people workin' with their hands
For sure a different way to live
Gonna keep my cabin at hand, retreat and live off the land
All around Ukiah, whoa

The mountain streams that rush on by
Show the fish are jumpin' and reflect the open sky
Fresh clean smell of the pines, symbol of unchanging times
All around this sacred land
Strangely, though, I've found my way, right here I'm gonna stay
In this land Ukiah, whoa

Fresh clean smell of the pines, symbol of unchanging times
All around this sacred land
Strangely, though I've found my way, right here I'm gonna stay
In this land Ukiah, whoa

Ooh, Ukiah
Ooh, Ukiah
Ooh, Ukiah
Ooh, Ukiah
Ooh, Ukiah

Gee, I wish I'd Kissed *Either* of *THESE* Girls

Yeah.  Twix.

The original (1995, Jill Sobule):

Jenny came over and told me about Brad

He's such a hairy behemoth she said

And dumb as a box of hammers

But he's such a handsome guy

And I opened up and I told her about Larry

And yesterday how he asked me to marry

I'm not giving him an answer yet

I think I can do better


CHORUS:

So we laughed, compared notes

We had a drink, we had a smoke

She took off her overcoat

I kissed a girl

I kissed a girl


So she called home to say she'd be late

He said, he worried but now he'd feel safe

I'm glad you're with your girlfriend,

Tell her "Hi" for me

then I looked at you, you had guilt in your eyes

But it only lasted a little while

And then I felt your hand above my knee


CHORUS:

And we laughed at the world

They can have their diamonds

And we'll have our pearls

I kissed a girl

I kissed a girl


I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet

She was just like kissing me

I kissed a girl, won't change the world

But I'm so glad

I kissed a girl


And we laughed at the world

They can have their diamonds

And we'll have our pearls

I kissed a girl (for the first time)

I kissed a girl (and I may do it again)

I kissed a girl

I kissed a girl


I kissed a girl, her lips were sweet

She was just like kissing me (but better)

I kissed a girl


I kissed a girl, won't change the world

But I'm so glad

I kissed a girl (for the first time)

I kissed a girl (won't be the last time)

I kissed a girl

I kissed a girl



The new (2008, Katy Perry):


(V1)

This was never the way I planned

Not my intention

I got so brave, drink in hand

Lost my discretion


It's not what

I'm used to

Just wanna try u on

I'm curious for you

Caught my attention


(CHORUS)

I kissed a girl and I liked it

The taste of her cherry chapstick

I kissed a girl just to try it

I hope my boyfriend don't mind it

It felt so wrong

It felt so right

Don't mean I'm in love tonight

I kissed a girl and I liked it

I liked it


(V2)

No I don't even know your name

It doesn't matter

You're my experimental game

Just human nature


It's not what

Good girls do

Not how they should behave

My head gets

So confused

Hard to obey


(CHORUS)

I kissed a girl and I liked it

The taste of her cherry chapstick

I kissed a girl just to try it

I hope my boyfriend don't mind it

It felt so wrong

It felt so right

Don't mean I'm in love tonight

I kissed a girl and I liked it

I liked it


(BRIDGE)

Us girls we are so magical

Soft skin, red lips, so kissable

Hard to resist so touchable

Too good to deny it

Ain't no big deal, it's innocent


(CHORUS)

I kissed a girl and I liked it

The taste of her cherry chapstick

I kissed a girl just to try it

I hope my boyfriend don't mind it

It felt so wrong

It felt so right

Don't mean I'm in love tonight

I kissed a girl and I liked it

I liked it

The computer told me this on the login to root:


"Good health" is merely the slowest rate at which one can die.

So Yeah, I bought it ...

Gee, for a buck ninety-nine, who wouldn't?

The Fast & The Furious iPhone edition.

I saw the 'other guys' version, and I was curious.  And then, I wanted the 'other cars'.

Now I can play out all those fantasies from being a bus, taxi, and truck driver (maybe even including the part where I drove a truck with 'dangerous chemicals').

On my *phone*.

Will wonders never cease?

Let's hope not.  I'm still expecting a Dynabook.

I want my Dynabook, and I want it *NOW* (or I'll scream!).

Yes, the man that they made fun of for *years* (because he was a top-notch scientist, which always makes the others jealous--and he had a terribly funny sense of humor).


He pointed out before I got to college that he'd 'proven' that memory was stored in the brain as a molecule.  He just hadn't gotten down to the molecular level (he theorized it was stored as RNA because when he ground up the brains of worms and fed them to other worms they 'learned' from their dinner).

I've noted recently that (if one has large enough sets of memories to work with, such as layouts for various networks) one can actually sense this load/unload function (and it makes one terribly sleepy to have to re-do this level of swap-out too many times in a day).

So that's two 'discredited' theories revisited with success this year (the other being the re-crediting of Pons and Fleischmann with the discovery of 'cold fusion', since it's real).

One can only hope for Fred Hoyle to be vindicated.  This 'bang' crap is an illusion.  The universe is a continuous-creation system.


And of course, there's always Michelson-Morley:
