remembering days of yore

yamamanamaSometimes I like to wait for an update but sometimes that doesn't happen but you can trust me on this: Baby flying squirrels are very cute.
We have a phoebe. He's also cute.
He's a fledgeling. His nest was destroyed.
The new people are Ashley and I can't remember anyone else. The first raccoons were moved to the outdoor enclosure and someone filled a kiddy pool with sand and buried some things in there in order to keep them entertained while teaching them how to forage. Emily attributes guinea pig as cuisine to a lack of food. We got a deer foal. Deer females hide their foals in tall grass and then go off and forage. Since they don't smell like anything, the only way a predator will find a foal is to trip over one.
I found out there's a movie called Psycho Wedding Crasher and I really don't care what it's about because it isn't about Norman Bates showing up and killing everyone at, say, I don't know, Chucky and the Bride of Chucky's wedding.
Michael says that Psycho II had an interesting premise but a not-so-good execution, in which Norman Bates is cured but eventually snaps back due to harassment.
He said there should be a Saw movie where Jigsaw goes through his normal day but forgets to turn the LegSmasher-5000 off and the climax of the movie would be a surprise party that goes horribly wrong.
He said that Jigsaw is smart enough to set up traps but depends on everyone acting in a certain way so I suggested Jigsaw vs. McGyver (I escaped using this wad of chewing gum and a magnet I got on a cruise ship) or Jigsaw vs. Batman. Adam West Batman. With his Bat Trap Disarming Spray.
One of these days, I’ll compile my thoughts on every song played regularly on WAAF between 1996 and 2003. You’re probably thinking “that’s the same thing as WAAF circa 2019” and no. For one, there’s more hair metal played today. And there are a bunch of bands that time forgot, like Boy Hits Car or Outhouse or Cellophane or Feeder.
Alas, it would mean I’d have to suffer through at least 10 Creed songs. And by that, I mean like 14 because Weathered had six singles although I don’t remember them and maybe it’s because I stopped listening to WAAF more or less when Don’t Stop Dancing came out and when I did, I usually changed the station or put on a CD whenever Creed or Limp Bizkit or Kid Rock came on. I listened to the entirety of Human Clay once, long ago. The singles were the worst part. I wouldn’t say they’re the worst songs i’ve ever heard because I’ve listened to four different things called The NPC Song. The rest wasn’t completely terrible but I could barely remember it even a week after I heard it. Faceless Man was okay, maybe. I don't know. One was okay if you ignore the lyrics, so, of course that was the song that was shelved and forgotten. I haven't actually listened to it since it was shelved. I think I taped it but I lost the tape.
They played Nookie and Blurry and Higher and How You Remind Me today (!?). And that Theory of a Deadman song from 2017 has some serious staying power. I don't understand. I think I'd rather eat a guinea pig. I don't object to that because I think they're cute, although I do. I just believe that guinea pig is unfit for human consumption.
You want to know what burnt my ass back in 2000, back when they still played music on the Hill Man Morning Show? When they played Creed or Limp Bizkit or one of the weaker Godsmack songs and that was your one song for the half hour?
burning question: why would I listen to Creed when I can listen to wistful piano pop, wistful guitar pop, Arc Iris, Jaggery, choral works by Einojuhani Rautavaara and Karol Szymanowski, songs about murdering people you crush on but aren’t romantically available, and songs about failed relationships and people who rush in to failed relationships?
