cornerofmadnessI decided to buy the professor price tickets to the Bourbon City Steampunk in Louisville KY in May. It's the same weekend as graduation. I also put in to do 2 lectures (one I have done since it was my sabbatical and one I shall have to pull forth from my ass) Wish me luck
Today I did find a phone number for recollection clothing and I shall be calling about my dress I've never seen (probably friday as it's the next time I have time) I didn't call United Health Care today because my phone was being a dick.
I did call this collection company knowing it almost couldn't possibly be for me. I haven't been in that kind of mess in years but Penny Williams (the other pain in my ass) who had my telephone number in the early 00s STILL gives it out to avoid collection agencies. This time it was for some man I never heard of.
Today was 20 degrees colder than anticipated.
it's music monday 30 weeks of music. This week's prompt is 13 has a really good music video. Share your faves too.
And let's break this into two groups, the one with weird and/or complicated videos and then the group of pretty boys
This one was probably my all time favorite video of my college years (and hey a pretty boy too)
easily one of the weirdest of the highly popular videos
This one was just bizarre (and fun)
Another wild one
I couldn't do 80s without Michael and I've used thriller a couple of times now. This one is not really weird and not really pretty boy but somewhere in between
And now for the pretty boys. For the most part not a lot of effort went into these videos. many were just concert footage. The appeal was just how hot these dudes were. Also they were pretty. Prettier than me that was for sure.
I'm still in love with Jon Bon Jovi all these years later (and yes he IS the face model for my character Howell)
Poison was just as pretty
A bit less pretty (to me)
I can't listen to this one without putting myself back in my college's cafeteria doing the composition placement test. They put this video on and said analyze it. I was very angry I was NOT put in the advance comp class. I know I nailed it (and it turned out I did. I scored very highly but since I wasn't an English major the English department refused me entry to the class. I was told the next year after I did make it a third major about this)
Even the Christian rock groups did the pretty androgynous things
