Random Thoughts
What I’m listening to:
Guilty: 30 Years of Randy Newman. Mostly I’m playing Louisiana 1927 over and over.
What I'm reading:
Take Big Bites: Adventures Around the World and Across the Table, by Linda Ellerbee. Food, travel, and a feisty Texan. What's not to love?
Annoying tune that’s stuck in my head:
Nothing right now, but according to the latest issue of Mental Floss, such tunes are called “earworms.” The most popular ones are – no big surprise – It’s a Small World After All and the theme to Gilligan’s Island. Hate the term “earworm” though: it reminds me of my childhood nightmare fuel, the earwig episode of Rod Serling’s Night Gallery.
In other news...
Louisiana native Britney Spears has not given anything to hurricane relief, but she is buying herself a new wedding ring. The diamond on the old one was too “pokey-outy.” Sheesh.
Some diversions from all the sad stuff….
1. I’ve complained plenty of times about For Better or For Worse, but I’m loving the alternate universe that’s developing on April’s Real Blog. Once you get past the annoying text-message lingo, the comments demonstrate more imagination than the comic strip has shown in years. Big brute Howard is an actor in light opera, Elly is almost psychotically judgmental, and April was nearly poisoned by Mary Worth.
2. Since fingerpaints are just too messy to use at the office…
3. A nifty comparison of skyscrapers around the world.
4. …and a look at some of the “World’s Largest” roadside attractions. San Antonio has more than its share -- the World's Largest Cowboy Boots, Wooden Nickel, Pig and Shovel.

Have you hard Marcia Ball's version of Louisiana 1927? It'll tear you up even more.
