Watched Roger Waters’ The Wall: Live In Berlin tonight with Victoria. That was a trip. I haven’t seen it in ages. The last time I did, it was on a VHS tape. Yeah. That long. This time I got to watch it on DVD on a 50″ plasma television and in surround sound. That’s the […]

Eleanor Rigby
I’ve been tinkering with my old 4-track tapes of late, and wound up listening to a recording I’d made with an old friend of The Beatles’ Eleanor Rigby. It made quite an impression on my girlfriend, so I wound up porting it over to the computer and re-mixing it. I was kind of surprised to […]
One Nation, Under Surveillance
With a Presidential election looming, most Progressive thinkers in the United States seem intent to celebrate the imminent demise of the Republican party. Most un-biased polls show Barack Obama leading John McCain. The Republicans expect to lose a lot of seats in Congress. For all intents and purposes, this seems to be the Democrats’ year. […]
If you’ve followed The Watch here to its permanent home on wicasta.com, you’ll not doubt notice that there have been some changes in the way this all looks now. That’s the first thing, and the best. I’ve finally broken down and made this into a sub-domain on my own web site. I figure that’ll give […]
This Old Dawg
I’ve been thinking for awhile about what song I want to record first. Believe it or not, that’s a bit of a problem. I have hundreds of songs, and at least a couple dozen that I want to record right now. Basically, I’ve been going over my songs in my head, trying to figure out […]
A Playboy In The Bathroom
I was just about to head to bed. Something funny occurred to me while I was … ahem … sitting on the throne in the bathroom. I went into the bathroom with a Playboy magazine and the user’s manual for a t.c. electronics M-One effects processor, not knowing which one I was going to look […]
A Table & Four Chairs
I’m cooling out for a minute. Just made the bed and got the dishes out of the dishwasher. I’m going to take out the trash and then box up a couple of things I sold on eBay. Mostly I’m squaring things away so that I can work on recording for the rest of the day. […]
Diabolical Lair Pics
I’ve uploaded some new pics of the diabolical lair, now that I’ve finally gotten things sorted the way I want. If you’re bored and want to check them out, you can find them in the Diabolical Lair section of the Image Gallery. They’re different than the previous pictures that some of you might have seen. […]
Fox News Accountability?
I keep hoping that at some point we will finally reach a tipping point beyond which the millions of Americans who believe that Fox News is a legitimate news organization will finally see them as what they are; the political propaganda wing of the Republican party. While I’m not foolish enough to believe that we’ll […]
I’m not in the best of moods today. I logged-in to my World of Warcraft account this morning only to discover that it had been hacked. All of my armor and gold are gone. They cleaned out my guild’s bank, as well, of all gold and sale-able items. I’ve opened a ticket and hope that […]
