The water spout

We're getting our house painted . Holy fuck is that expensive.

Yesterday, they took off all the downspouts on the roof gutters, so they could paint in back of them. Then they left for the day. And then it rained heavily for the next 24 hours.

The rain poured through the holes where the downspouts used to be and dug out 6"-deep holes in the ground before I got out there to try to stop it with all the plastic sheeting I could find.

FML.

RIP Ozzy

Heavy metal star Ozzy Osbourne has died, just weeks after reuniting with his Black Sabbath bandmates and performing a huge farewell concert for fans.

In a statement, his family said: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love."

When Life Gives You...

Back in March I planted a dozen leeks from shoots I bought down at the local garden supply place.

100 days later, they turned out to be plain yellow onions.

So, out of spite, I used them all at once to make one batch of French onion soup. And it sucked.

Badass

I was reading Tom Breihan’s column on Bon Jovi’s Blaze of Glory, and he said this regarding the song:

“Blaze Of Glory” fits into a beautiful rock ‘n’ roll tradition that has sadly disappeared. It’s a song about being a mythic badass. Can you imagine a rocker — any kind of rocker — writing a song about being a badass now? You can’t…They ceded that lyrical territory to rappers…These days, at least as far as I can tell, people in rock bands generally don’t think of themselves as badasses. They don’t even aspire to badassery.”
