I guess my good thing at the moment is, I'm staying home tonight with a hangover. Not a severe one, but when you don't imbibe often, you have no tolerance. I only had two beers with the plate of nachos I split with a friend at Sam's, got home really late, worked on a project on this forum for a while, finally fell asleep. I just had "morning" coffee a couple of hours ago. At least I haven't eaten yet today, which is good since I want to look my best for a party next weekend.

Anyway, so I'll be here, logged in to play, but not continuously at my desk because I'm doing a little work on my kitchen reorganization now that I'm almost human again.

Don't feel sorry for me. I'm posting a "good thing".

The rooster and the clock
-Natalie Dessay


An amusing song by Claude Nougaro. The rooster is in love with the clock. The hens are jealous, and time itself is jealous. The love relationship between the cock & the clock is affecting the rooster's performance.

Lyrics translated:

On a farm in Poitou A rooster loved a clock
There is no accounting for taste...
Besides, this rooster had good taste
Because the clock was very beautiful
And its ticking so soft so soft
That time thought above all
On spending its time with it

On a farm in Poitou A rooster loved a clock From dawn to dusk
And even at night like an owl
Love making him a cock-walker
A neck full of cock-a-doodle-doo
The rooster dreamed of his clock From Poitou

On a farm in Poitou A rooster loved a clock
They were having secret discussions among the angry hens
"What is this rooster, this cocktail, this strange bird, this old cuckoo
Who despises us and who never gives us a little tap in the wing?"

On a farm in Poitou A rooster loved a clock clock
Ah, ladies, you're talking about a Jules!
There he is, singing on his knees: "Oh my clock, I adore you
Ah! let me court you, You are my hen in the golden hours My love"

On a farm in Poitou A rooster loved a clock
It's time to put an end To this ridiculous fable,
To this crest with testicles that sings the dawn at midnight
"He advances or I retreat" our clockmaker said to himself
That trotted on its dial with the tips of its stiletto heels
Listening to his Don Juan dinning his seguedilla to him
To imagine his death no need to be a fortune teller
The clock strikes meal time, it's Coq au vin
On a farm in Poitou
A rooster loved a clock

There's a place called Kate O'Connor's Irish Pub that opened up maybe 15 years ago or so. Food was pretty much what you would expect from an Irish Pub, or at least what we American's assume would be served in one. Not really sure if it was what you would get in a pub in Ireland, but it all made sense to me.

They changed ownership a few months ago. Same name, but this doesn't strike me as Irish Pub fare:

The forum wants me to leave when it slows down so much I can't even post a "like".

Anyway I need to clean up the kitchen before I settle down with a mint tea and a podcast or two or five.

Sorry to leave so soon after Jimi came back, but hope to see everybody tomorrow.

Thanks for playing.

XO

Tonight, Tigglee surprised me by actually laying in arm and his back paws on my left hand. He stayed there between 5 to 10 minutes, it was great! Yup, this is the good thing for the day.

When I had my own kitties back in the day, I noticed, when the weather cools, they're lovey dovey. When the weather heats up again, they're like "you're just my slave, get lost, I'm going outside".
