Amusing things

The incongruously swingy and cheerful cover by Artie Shaw and his orchestra of the traditional spiritual "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen," that I heard yesterday. (Sorry folks, I could not find audio online except for a brief sample on Amazon.com .)

Commander Ivanova "having sex" with the Lumati ambassador, human style, to conclude their negotiations. I had forgotten.....

Shirt sleeve weather in mid-November.

Chiwetel Ejiofor's faaaaaaaaaaaabulous rendition of , well, pretty much everything he performs in "Kinky Boots."  I'm gonna have to rent the  thing because it keeps popping up on IFC and I keep missing the first ten minutes of the blasted movie. (Oh, and how the HECK does one pronounce this actor's name? He's done some good work, including a little martial arts flick called "Red Belt," that I quite liked.)

I really do need to finish my bike bags,* blog the instructions with lots of retro sketches on actual graph paper (because I'm too old school Luddite cool for CAD)  and pics of bits strewn all over my sewing table, get photos of me looking old, slow, fat and unfashionably helmeted on my bike and Double Dog Dare the Riding Pretty Chick to post 'em.  She has yet to demonstrate understanding of what DIY actually is.  (*Shelved until I'm done with JAF's stuff.) I think it has to do with actually busting out tools. Or duct tape, maybe.

So had I, until I got about halfway through that episode on the DVD. Brilliant stuff, though I also enjoyed the bit with Londo and Vir chirping a Centari opera in another episode.
