One Note Samba

-
Presenting a performance on ukulele of Jobim's One Note Samba by Canadian James Hill, in honor of my good friend, the Whited Sepulchre, who lately has been singing one note on the subject of stimulating the economy.

Enjoy! (Watch the whole thing -- it's pretty amazing!)



Seriously, I stumbled across this while looking for guitar tabs for One Note Samba. First I encountered a cover by DominatorUke, who is no slouch himself, who pointed me over to James Hill.

I love the internet, don't you?

Doctor,
Here's "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" as performed by the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain.

The main theme is only two notes, which is also admirable.

Missed you at church today. Good discussion.

Me, I'm just sitting back, waiting to see if I can get me some stimulus.

WS -- Sorry I missed Sunday School -- I managed to make a committee meeting after church but that was as close as it got.

The 17 yr. old had a LAN party at the house last night, which meant they were all up until the sun arose. I stayed up long enough to rewatch The Big Lebowski with everyone, then crashed.

PS -- Mountain Dew was the preferred method of stimulus during the fun around here.

You were missed at the church, and (Just so you'll know) you're missed on my site.
I've gotten one comment and one email asking where you've been.

My schtick only works when you're there disagreeing with everything and propmpting others to come to my defense.

Something about M. Night Shyamalan's movie "Unbreakable" comes to mind.

Holiday Movie Cavalcade

-
I didn't do much over the holidays (alas) but I did see movies. More movies than in all of the rest of 2009. It was all mainstream fair, but enjoyable nonetheless. Read on: no spoilers. Sherlock Holmes Holmes and Watson as action heroes. Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law star. Early on, Holmes (Downey) does some bare-knuckle fisticuffs which were sufficiently violent that Spousal Partner decided she'd had enough. By the way, Rachel McAdams (as Holmes' love interest Irene Adler) is freaking gorgeous. Needless to say, this was " based on characters created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, " and not part of the Holmes canon. Purists may turn up their noses but it was rousing good fun. Avatar (3D) I wasn't initially planning to see this (it registered a bit high on the hype-o-meter) but Youngest Son saw it with friends and said he'd see it again with me.  I find that I tend to enjoy movies a lot more if I've previously lowered expectations.What I'd r

A few random thoughts on "Cancel Culture."

-
 A friend of mine recently took exception when I mocked people (mostly conservative) who tossed around the term "Cancel Culture." It seems in the opinions of many some (mostly conservative), it's a freedom of speech issue. Not really. And it's not a First Amendment issue either, when Facebook or Twitter cancels your account for praising white supremacists, or neo-fascists, or other right-wing dickheads. " Cancel Culture ," which, according to Wikipedia, was originally an outgrowth of the "MeToo" movement, (so not so much about speech as calling out behavior - specifically against women) has morphed now into the latest right-wing NewSpeak  term for "I'm being punished for expressing my opinion."  Dig a little deeper though and you'll find the issue is not so much about "free speech," as "consequence-free speech." I mean...if you are going to be an opinionated ass, at least have enough self-respect not to be a w
