Day 3389 - Pantry Cabinet - 08.31.20

This morning the final piece to our kitchen redo arrived.  We got this awesome pantry cabinet and we already have it filled with stuff.  It looks great when the doors close, because now everything is hidden away instead of on an old shelf things we had from Ikea.  The kitchen is now complete.  This is something I saw today.
 

Day 3388 - Four Witches Are Up - 08.30.20

Yesterday we bought some more picture frames so that we could hang our other witch drawings by Casey Robin.  Because I couldn't find frames to match the original two that we had, I had to buy four so all of these would match.  Actually I bought five because I have another witch to hang at a location TBD.  I figured I'd get the frame now so that it matched and worry about the exact placement later.  So this morning I was able to hang all four witches.  I also spent much of the day swapping out other pictures with Halloween type pictures around the house.  We are getting into the Halloween season.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3385 - Northern Command Variety Ensemble "Something Of Everything" - 08.27.20

I picked this record up a couple weekends ago.  It is a record from Israel and it appears to be this sort of youth group.  I digitized one of the songs and put it on a music mix that I shared with folks at work.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3381 - "George Romero's Land Of The Dead" DVD - 08.23.20

Day 3371 - The Boston Strangle DVD - 08.13.20

A few weeks ago a friend at work sent out a message that she was getting rid of a bunch of DVD's that she has upgraded to Blu-ray and digital versions.  She asked if anyone wanted them.  Me and seven other people quickly responded that we were interested.  Today she dropped off the box of movies and the very first one I popped in this evening was "The Boston Strangler" which played at the New Beverly last year (June 2019), but I missed it.  I love that I now have a DVD of it.  This is something I saw today.
 

Day 3370 - "The Wretched" Blu-ray - 08.12.20

I watched this movie last week and then ordered the Blu-Ray.  It came today.  I really enjoyed it and wanted to own the Blu-ray so I could listen to the commentary track.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3369 - 101 Strings "Million Seller Hits" LP - 08.11.20

This is another record I picked up this past weekend.  This evening when I was listening to it the track "Tomorrow For Sure" stood out for it's cool drum beat.  I thought for sure this must have been sampled by someone, but I couldn't find a reference to it on WohSampled.com.  So after work I digitized the song as an exercise to play around with creating a loop in Garage Band.  I had never really done that properly before and it game be a reason to play around with a bunch of other stuff in Garage Band I have never gotten around to.  Essentially I created my own remix of that track, which I think it pretty cool.  I got a lotta bang for my ten cents out of this record if for no other reason that it gave me a reason to learn more about Garage Band.  This is something I saw today.
 

Day 3368 - Al Hirt "Horn A-Plenty" - 08.10.20

This is one of the Al Hirt records I picked up this past weekend.  This is something I saw today.
 

Day 3367 - Reading "The Dead Zone" - 08.09.20

 Today has been a nice relaxing day.  Yesterday afternoon I went for a walk and I stopped by a thrift store.  It had a sign out in front that said record albums ¢10.  I ended up being there for well over an hour going through their boxes and I ended up buying 119 records.  Some those were 78s and 45s, but mostly it was albums.  I bought some religious records from mostly artists I had never heard of, but for ¢10 it was worth the gamble, and then I got all sorts of other things from pop, to rap, to jazz and easy listening.  I spent the rest of yesterday going through most of those records sampling the songs and when I found one I really liked I would digitize it.  I did that until about 1:30 in the morning.  So when I woke up early this morning I had about an hour and twenty minutes of tracks to put into a mix.  So after breakfast that is what I did.  24 hours earlier I had no idea that I would have this mountain of new music and an interesting new mix of music to share with people.  Once that was done I watch "I Was A Teenage Zombie" and took a nap. I got up around 3PM and listened to a bunch of the Al Hirt records I picked up and read The Dead Zone.  What a great day.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3366 - Eggplant Parmesan - 08.08.20

 This morning I got up early and finished up putting artwork on the Christmas mix tracks.  And then I had breakfast and made a a dish of Eggplant Parmesan which should do me for a few days of meals.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3365 - Brenda Lee "10 Golden Years" LP - 08.07.20

 I started this morning off with a little Brenda Lee.  This is a greatest hits sort fo compilation of her early hits.  When my kids were young I played this record a lot.  This morning when I was playing the record my son walked in and said "I haven't heard that in a while."  It was a good morning of tunes.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3364 - Hank Locklin "Original Country And Western Stars" - 08.06.20

 Today I pulled out a couple country records.  I went digging in the shelf for L'il Abner and near the musicals I also have my country records.  So I pulled this Hank Locklin record out with some Brenda Lee.  I listened to the "L'il Abner" and the Hank Locklin this evening. I'm saving the Brenda Lee for tomorrow.  This record contains a lot of early recordings by Hank Locklin.  From my reading I gather that these were recordings that were originally released on 78 and then repackaged here.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3363 - Twin Peaks Soundtrack LP - 08.05.20

 Today I listened to the Twin Peaks soundtrack.  It truly is one of my favorites of all time.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3362 - Fish Head - 08.04.20

 This afternoon we watched Godzilla Vs. Hedorah.  This film has some pretty trippy imagery.  This dancing person with a fish mask is just one example.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3361 - Shatner On "The Outer Limits" - 08.03.20

Today at lunch my wife and I watched some Outer Limits.   We finished watching the episode "Soldier" (we watched the first half yesterday at lunch) which has a striking resemblance to "The Terminator" and then the next episode had William Shatner.  It was also excellent.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3360 - Star Wars Chewbacca X Barbie Doll - 08.02.20

This is my wife's birthday present.  Her birthday isn't for a few more week's so she can't open it yet, though she obviously knows what it is.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3359 - David Lynch "The Big Dream" - 08.01.20

This evening I threw on some David Lynch while I read some of "The Dead Zone."  It was a good combination.  About three songs in my wife asked who is this?  I told her it was David Lynch and she said "I thought so, but I didn't want to say that."  He does have a distinctive voice  This is something I saw today.
