Moment of Lyric - Nelson Sings Nilsson

In 1969, Harry Nilsson and Randy Newman joined forces to record"Nilsson Sings Newman," a gorgeous, minimalist collection of Newman songs sung by Nilsson (obviously).

In 2001, as his band, Harvey Danger, broke up, Sean Nelson became deeply enamored of "Nilsson Sings Newman," and considered that "nelson sings Nilsson" would be a funny title for a record.

Bro woke me up last night, right as I'd hunkered in for sleep. I wished him a happy birthday, and he tried to get me to buy pizza or chinese for his whole crew at the hotel he's staying. I declined, and suggested some other options. He's back with Shannon, and thinks that she is probably pregnant. A bad idea, as neither he nor she is able to raise a child in their current mental, physical and financial situation. He turned 34 yesterday, and is still living moment to moment, catching a hotel room here or sleeping in his truck there.

He adds a bitter flavor to the bulk sweetness in my life right now. It figures he'd wake me up on a night that I was trying to get some extra snoozles.

Went with some work crew to outback for feed - it was yummy, as usual... pasta and a bloomin' onion. Work was discussed only minimally, which is nice.

Heard from Vicki last night - getting together with her and some of the old gang a week from tomorrow for a little supper. Apparently, most have gone on to other non-profits: Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, American Lung Association, Kids in Distress, and Boys & Girls Clubs. Nice to see good folks working to help make the world a better place.

Cool spooky pictures, I have this thing for illustrations both in B&W and color.
NC Wyeth is one of my favorite artists.

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

As is Howard Pyle

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Wyeth does some great pulpy stuff!! I didn't know his name before looking him up, but I've seen a few of the more fantastic things here and there.

http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/wyeth_nc.html

apparently Wyeth studied under pyle!

http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/pyle_howard.html

A copy of Pyle's walking the plank used to hang up in the old Boynton Beach City Library's "rec room" where D&D was played... many fond memories of a game room with a chalkboard and loooong tables.

No snacks allowed, though.

[graypumpkin.livejournal.com]

Yeah Wyeth studied under Pyle then several guys studied under Wyeth, including his son Andrew, who became famous in more "respected" art circles for his realist stuff, which was quite good, but I always preferred his Dad's and Pyle's adventure art.

“Walk the Plank” is a good print to have up in a room where yer playing DnD. Was this pre-PM?

I sometimes use a whiteboard in my games for sketching out stuff to help people visualize, but it's a handheld it would be cool to have a big old chalkboard or white board for games.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Pretty close but it was pre-PM (I met her in early 1984) That was about 2 years pre-PM, or when I was in 8th grade, give or take. I got a job at the same library about 3-4 years later. (The whole place got renovated, and by then, I was gaming at James Dawsey's or with my other High School buddies.

A wall-sized chalkboard was a lot of fun.. we were pretty monty haul back then... hd a running tally of kills per player (by hit dice) to see who was doing the bulk of the work.
