Another Random Demotivator

Weak stream?

I'm not a basketball fan, but Steve Nash is pretty funny.

"Weeds"

I'm officially ready for a new season. I'm sort of a Nancy Botwin groupie, even though I've never seen the first 3 seasons.



Weeds is an American comedy-drama television series created by Jenji Kohan, produced by Lionsgate Television for the Showtime network.

The show revolves around a newly widowed housewife (Mary-Louise Parker) from an affluent California suburb who becomes her neighborhood's marijuana dealer to make ends meet. The title is a play on words, referring to both the slang term for marijuana and widow's weeds. It also plays on the tendency of American suburbs to grow quickly and pervasively, with the dwellings and their residents being almost as indistinguishable as weeds. This is mirrored in the show's theme song "Little Boxes" and opening credits, and is a recurring theme of the show. The theme song changes in the second season with a different version every week.

Weeds currently comprises five seasons that began airing in August 2005. It was the highest rated series for Showtime in its first year; its fourth-season premiere attracted 1.3 million viewers to Showtime, the channel's highest-ever viewership.

The "Happy little brook" guy

Bob Norman Ross (October 29, 1942 – July 4, 1995) was an American painter and television host. With his calm, patient nature, Ross came to prominence as the creator and host of The Joy of Painting, a long-running television program on public broadcast stations in the United States. Ross died of lymphoma at the age of 52.


I've never claimed that this is investment art. When we first started out, all the art colleges and universities across the country would sort of badmouth what we were doing. It's funny that a lot of them now are sending us letters saying, 'We may not totally agree with the way you paint, but we appreciate what you're doing, because you're sending literally thousands of people into art colleges.'

Jay Randall: Working Musician -or- Don't Quit Your Day Job

I'll take this opportunity to post documentary evidence that I am an actual, though occaisional, performing musician.

This was an opening at an Art Gallery owned by my friends. Check it out here:

I didn't get very high billing, I guess I need to be more specific in my contract rider in the future.

Lost Dogs and Mixed Blessings

My stupid little weiner dog ran off on Thursday, taking our beloved little beagle mix with her. He came back, she didn't.

She's become an escape artist, tunneling to freedom like Steve McQueen in "The Great Escape". I am not particularly interested in mounting a full-scale search, as the last time this happened it cost me $160 to spring them from the pokey. Besides, she needs dog psychiatry as she has "abandonment issues" and irrationally high self-esteem. She punishes us when we leave her alone by tearing up our prized possesions and pissing on the laundry.

Vaya, Tessie.
