Haven't been by for a while, just thought I'd drop in and say hello. I've been pretty busy.

BBP - 19-9-2013 at 18:50

Hello Poly!
DED and I hit the town to find birthday presents for my sister. Went to the design store where they had so much wicked stuff it was hard to choose,but eventually I let the special spaghetti fork (that you can spin like an old-fashioned hand drill) be and bought a wallet with ye olde Dutch 10 guilder note print.

BBP - 21-9-2013 at 21:11

Yesterday was my sister's birthday, today we had groceries... Been feeling sore and tired today. I need a hug.

And a foot warmer.

BBP - 26-9-2013 at 18:53

It's always been my intention to introduce as many people as I can to my favourite groups: Primus, DAAU, and of course to FZ. Seeing that I accidentally turned somebody into a Kate Bush fn, that's a bit depressing.

While I'm busy translating that I'm cursing my French class from high school. I didn't learn a single proverb or idiom from that. With the subject matter being as sensitive as it is, it's full of proverbs and idioms.

Added: I'm getting more into it and finding it more and more hilarious. But it does trouble me that after 6 years of French class, basically what I've learnt is 100 Different Ways To Ask For Directions To The Nearest Beach.

I'm at 35% of translating the little book. It is a tad bizarre already, and I haven't even reached the part about "travelling to the blue land" yet. Not sure whether I'm looking forward to that or fearing it intensely.

BBP - 9-10-2013 at 18:46

It's oh so quiet... shhh... shhh... it's oh so still... shh...shh..

Calvin - 11-10-2013 at 15:09

Here you go, I'll post so it's not so lonely. I got to see my granddaughter yesterday!

BBP - 12-10-2013 at 16:26

Thanks Cal, Lovely!:bald:

Not much happening here... Still battling and losing the eternal fight against freezing feet, nothing seems to help them.

Caputh - 12-10-2013 at 22:02

Got wet picking up walnuts. Amazingly, my eldest doggedly helped me. Though his criterion for a good walnut took at least five minutes deliberation.

Thermal socks?

BBP - 13-10-2013 at 11:55

Don't help. Nothing helps, no hot bath, no heating pits...

Calvin - 13-10-2013 at 17:34

Hmm, I had an aunt that had the same problem. The doctor told her it was a circulation problem, but I can't remember what they did for it.

BBP - 13-10-2013 at 21:24

There's a distinct problem about me and doctors. Besides the one I visited for the insurance when I broke my ankle, the last time I went to a GP was when I was 19 and had a bad throat infection, before that was when I was 12 and had bronchitis.

Phoned my best friend for his birthday. He's going to go to France to live in a Buddhist commune for a few weeks.

Where is it located?

punknaynowned - 14-10-2013 at 10:46

here's something random I found.
Bedrock, home of the Flintstone's is a place, in Arizona: http://www.messynessychic.com/2012/11/29/the-flintstones-are...

The whole messynessy blog is really cool with lots of unexpected things

BBP - 14-10-2013 at 22:30

Creepy, those Flintstone characters don't translate to 3D. It's really puzzling it's still open, how could they ever make it profitable?

Aqua: don't know where he's going. I'll ask him when I can catch hold of him again next week.

BBP - 16-10-2013 at 09:30

This weekend I'll be in Arnhem, guide dogging.

BBP - 22-10-2013 at 16:35

Here's one I took in Arnhem...

BBP - 23-10-2013 at 13:43

Shall I shut this place down then?

punknaynowned - 24-10-2013 at 15:34

joke?

BBP - 24-10-2013 at 18:00

There are too many days when I'm the only visitor... Too many posts of which I think "Hm, I thought that was going to provoke some replies"... I realize a lot of you are busy but if nobody but me posts here, what's the point of this forum?

BBP - 26-10-2013 at 09:20

You see what I mean?

punknaynowned - 26-10-2013 at 09:29

Bonny, you do what you need to do.
I would be sad to see the goose go.
It is at very least a way for me to keep in touch with you and Geoff/polydigm, both of which I would like to.
There is also a bunch of stuff I've put up here that I'd like to not lose to the cracks of the internet.
And it will take some time for me to go through it and copy it all. I have been busy all week and will not be able to do anything like that this weekend either.
So, if you are planning to shut this place down I would like a little time to scedhule for me to do that.
<3 u

BBP - 26-10-2013 at 12:03

Just tossing up some coins... Things have gotten so quiet without Poly.
I was thinking of putting my translation project up here, you know, that weird French booklet I've been working on? I'm almost done.

[Edited on 28-10-13 by BBP]

aquagoat - 28-10-2013 at 08:33

yeah, i think you should put it here, i'd like to read it.

Caputh - 2-11-2013 at 16:06

I think it would be sad if you closed it down. I don't post that often, I know, but I like to read other's posts here.

[Edited on 2-11-2013 by Caputh]

BBP - 2-11-2013 at 16:15

That's nice, Caputh... Things get quiet online now and then: not just here, also at Zappa.com and DeviantArt and other places I frequent. Anyway, hope you'll enjoy the book I translated.

[Edited on 2-11-2013 by Caputh]

hi Alex, it's nice to see you too. This is whatI've been doing the last couple years. It shows my weak method that I've followed for years. This time with a new huge topic of eurorenaissance, it documents online my first passes in this material and will chart first impressions and struff I think is neat and bits of newslinks as they come up too. I'm not looking for comments. I am more and more interested in just writing stuff down and shelving it as a reference-curiosity for future readers/searchers.

I also read aloud and record the readings of big modern english fictions. I did Infinite Jest of Wallace and now Against the Day of Pynchon. It's good practice for when I get stentorian enuf to get paid doing simpler stuff. I can dream.

Bonny already knows this I think

BBP - 3-11-2013 at 21:44

Of your reading fiction aloud? No, but it's a great idea. You know I managed to get several visually handicapped friends, I've often toyed with the idea of recording myself but... you know...

Been thinking of starting a blog about my books. That way I can catalog my curioes before they go missing.

BBP - 4-11-2013 at 13:36

Furious storms out here. Yesterday a tornado hit Wijk bij Duurstede.

I love books too and have quite a large library, though as some might have noticed I tend to concentrate more on history books than fiction. Somehow, I can only read the latter on holiday, when I'm really relaxed. Here's a personal question to both you and Punky - do you try and keep your books pristine? If you do, I think it's highly commendable. I myself take them everywhere and most of them look that way. A while ago, a pupil of mine borrowed a book and gave me back a new copy. When I asked her why, she said she was so enamoured by the crushed fly on page 128 she asked if she could keep my copy.
Nice to hear you're reading books out loud, Punky. Where are the recordings?

BBP - 5-11-2013 at 18:25

I keep them pristine and neat: in fact I was furious that, when I lent my sister my neat, barely folded (yet well-travelled and fully read) paperback copy of Crime and Punishment, I got it back all creased and water damaged. She took it with her when she went camping near Whitby. Still there's, besides my art books, only one item in my collection that'd be worth the velvet glove care: a first edition of my favourite book Karakter by Bordewijk, dates from 1938.

Caputh - 5-11-2013 at 20:30

Ah- art books are an exception with me too; I inherited a lot of them from my wife's grandfather. I also think twice about taking a nice hardback into the bath to read. But paperbacks go everywhere.
I also (probably criminally in many people's view) used to treat my records in a similar fashion.

[Edited on 5-11-2013 by Caputh]

BBP - 7-11-2013 at 15:17

Take your records with you in the bath?

I never take baths anymore, haven't really done that since my cast went off. It's too dull and I'm too clumsy to read anything without getting it soaked.

As soon as the Z-forum is down, this place'll be full. And I'll be going to ZPZ tomorrow, will have something when I come back.

I've never actually taken my records into the bath, but they look that way - (Jaypfunk would have me shot at dawn if he saw them).
Ah, you haven't seen my bathroom! The guy who bought the house off turned our bathroom into a mixture of an Italian restaurant and a sauna:shocked: It's utterly tasteless, but surprisingly comfortable. This means that all the males in our house love taking baths. My wife can't stand the decor or the jacuzzi and I'm always making plans to reduce the size of the bathroom to create a small library. Unfortunately, finances have held us back thus far. So, 'till then, I'm free to take my books into the bath.

I'm very curious now.

What decor could be so horrible it'd stop you from taking a bath in a jacuzzi?

Caputh - 8-11-2013 at 22:41

Well...
The previous owner (not us, honestly, not us!), introduced a kind of moulding-cum-terracotta tiling-cum faux stone motif into the bathroom. Unless you're very good at tiling, this is almost impossible to remove personally. My wife's solution is to shower in the bathroom upstairs. My solution is to read weighty tomes in the horribly terracoted, but pleasingly jacuzzied bathroom downstairs.

BBP - 9-11-2013 at 09:51

Interesting. I'd close me eyes meself.

In today's Expy of Boringness, I'm knitting stockings. I've never knitted socks before. Unlike what is usual with socks, these are knitted from the bottom up, making it very easy for yours truly to make a pair of socks that fit her oversized feet. But I'm running into a problem: I'm using a US pattern and they instruct that you have to keep knitting in a certain pattern before you increase, up to the point at the base of the calf muscle. But where is the base of the calf muscle? At the bottom? At the top? In the middle? At the heel or a little higher?

Today I'll be dragging a guitar and an amp to my sister's, just before going to ZPZ. So I might take a bath tomorrow after all, to get rid of sore muscles.

BBP - 11-11-2013 at 15:12

Since my stocking is starting to get so big it fits my father, I'll have to uravel it. Beh.

BBP - 12-11-2013 at 11:21

Busy recovering from the concert... Most of the sores have eased now but my back is still protesting.

KAPTKIRK - 12-11-2013 at 11:36

Was it the last ZpZ tour that you had to leave early to catch a train back home Bonny? I know how you're back must feel, my back is always giving me fits after a concert too. It gets worse if it's a long ride to and from. Good soak in a hot tub will help that.

BBP - 12-11-2013 at 11:42

That was Hengelo 2010, because Hengelo is truly in the middle of nowhere.
The thing was, if I'd known I'd miss my train and would have to wait an hour for the next train, I'd have hung around at ZPZ longer, talk to Unica 'n all.

KAPTKIRK - 12-11-2013 at 12:12

How is Paul anyway? You were going to mention him in the three part review but I must have missed it.

BBP - 12-11-2013 at 17:10

Paul is fine, he told me he recorded the entire show (he had a great view from the balcony). I wasn't too sure if he recognized me, it's been three years since I last saw him.

KAPTKIRK - 12-11-2013 at 22:44

That's great about Paul. He always did take cool pictures and ended up in some too. You can see him on one of Dweezil's FOH releases in the crowd,front stage left. He's so tall and always has that baseball cap on, it's easy to spot him.

BBP - 13-11-2013 at 00:47

Went to the GLOW festival, was a bit of a let-down. Passed the bench-mark: I made over 10,000 photos with my camera since I first got it.

I wonder if I've taken close to 10,000 pix ever!

BBP - 13-11-2013 at 17:17

There's a thing about digital cameras, when you don't have to be careful with your film, you just shoot forever!

KAPTKIRK - 13-11-2013 at 20:35

Us old analog folks still can't get over the fact that it's not wasting film at all. I've gotta get me one of them thar digital camera thingy's! Looks like a lot of fun too! :cool:

BBP - 14-11-2013 at 14:12

Even with film I tended to get trigger-happy, although I had APS back then (almond-shaped film that's harder to get hold of) and I couldn't turn the flash off. Was a nice camera, but after I had a leaking battery, it'd been opened and it didn't make a single good shot. Was especially nasty when I'd manouvered myself onto a balcony I wasn't supposed to be, and took a picture of the view: it's a horrible gritty picture. At Brussels 2006 ZPZ concert I shot too many pics and didn't get any when I was within handshake-position of DZ. In the mosh pit.

BBP - 15-11-2013 at 10:03

Police came to the door, there's been an attempted break-in at our back neighbors yesterday.

KAPTKIRK - 15-11-2013 at 12:33

Did you hear anything that night? By "attempt" it sounds like someone was chased off, what happened Bonny? Any of you property missing or damaged. Was it day or nighttime when it happened??? Is there much crime in your area?

I wrapped up 3 - 20 min. discussions on Egypt with my Egyptian friends and a collective-eclectic crew of 4 tonight at our DMA studio. One of my guests, Nancy Zayed, drove over two hours from the south SF bay area. She was the spark to a good informative show. I had changed the format from one straight hour into 3- 20 min segments with public service ads in between breaks. It should be more interesting this way and you can take a break in between each subject. I like it, it works for most of our people's time and I have open dates through Dec., so that's a very good thing.
I'm trying to get a friend Sarah Moussa an Egyptian activist to host a show for women in the Mideast or just Egypt. Haven't heard back yet, but I hope she can do it.
I started this whole thing at the beginning of Arab Spring, I hope there's a resolution in my life time. Where Egypt goes, goes the middle east. imho. They don't want to loose that respect/power.

Me back's killin' me or I'd be asleep right now. Ouch, I can't stand for long periods anymore. I saw you on Unica's you-tube channel. I have always tried to sit in front of Sheila. She' soo talented and a very nice lady too. Like you Bonny!

BBP - 15-11-2013 at 19:58

What exactly happened, we're not sure, but they did smash in a window and tried the doors on either side of the house. Was a bit of a shocker, I did put my notebook out of sight for sure. Like, totally.

KAPTKIRK - 15-11-2013 at 20:44

I wonder if it was just random or if they cased the place beforehand. Do your neighbors have anything of value that people would know about? I'm glad they didn't get your notebook, like, fer sure, totally out of sight's the best way to go, totally, ya know?

Hey Kirk! that a hour long radio show you do? A discussion on Egypt with Egyptians? That's really awesome! Like Super Wow! Really impressed. People need to know and the best way to get a sense is thru personal stories from folks directly affected. Hope more and more tune in!

To reply abt books from last week - where does the time go? - I have a lot of books. As I get older I try to get hardbound ones as much as possible, and I take better care of them as time goes on, too. I Don't have a bathtub.
I don't write in or underline books anymore like I did sometimes, 25 yrs ago. One thing that seems to happen tho is that on a second read - like with the audio projects - is that binding splits on big books unless it is woven into something more substantial like buckhram or leather. So, even hardbound first editions get split because they are usually made with layered paper. Also with paperbacks of course, the glue often comes undone with focused study. Books I speed through stay intact, ironically.

Caputh I'll send a pm with a link for the audio collections. And good luck on your presentation tomorrow!

KAPTKIRK - 16-11-2013 at 02:20

Thanks Punk, it's a talk show on local channel 15 TV. I thought it would be better to get the story from all sides in Egypt from Egyptians and not just what the American Media wants you to see and hear. I've made some friends and a place to stay if I can save enough to go visit the pyramids and these little talk show are being passed around in Egypt. That's pretty cool to me.

punknaynowned - 16-11-2013 at 08:52

are you kidding? That is extraordinary, which is way better than cool! We need all the friends we can get! :bouncing:

I quite agree, we need friends from all over the world. One way to do that is to get the news out from the peoples about just what's what in any country and not rely on just the west and American media propaganda machines. At least I can give them a voice to pass around when they shut down twitter and any alternative media sites so no one can organize as fast. They know at the grassroots level the people of the USA do care and would like to help, not interfere, with they're politics or policies. It will all work out. The Brotherhood knew how to manipulate and scare the ignorant masses into believing they were Egypt's answer. The Brotherhood have a different agenda and those people won't be fooled again. No religion in politics. All Egyptians at heart want to unite and prosper. 1% want Shia' laws and religious leaders. 99% don't!

BBP - 16-11-2013 at 13:09

Fantastic lot you are!
I just made an extra account for a new member, hope he can roll in...

Caputh - 16-11-2013 at 19:35

I was only joking about the ardours of going in on saturday to persuade primary school kids to come to our school (on the Z forum) - I don't really mind doing it - in any case they were lovely kids; one (Pakistani) kid was particularly keen and very bright.
Spent the day wandering around Sansouci (a big palace with gardens in Potsdam) with the wife and my youngest. They're thinking about charging entry for this soon - what a pity...

Will listen to the audio from P. as soon as I can.

BBP - 21-11-2013 at 16:53

I'm thinking of including some FZ books in Zappadan this year. Re-reading Necessity Is... at the moment. It's pretty interesting. Should put it next to Butcher's book.

BBP - 25-11-2013 at 11:06

Sis came down to visit us this weekend.
She left at 6AM this morning. I'd have gotten up, but at a few minutes to 2AM I heard a loud BANG and saw a flash. Thinking it could be a gunshot, I looked out the window to see if there was something to see, but no. Was listening for sounds of footsteps or a car for the next fifteen minutes. Had nearly dozed off, when there was another BANG at 2:20, from a different direction.

Probably some assholes with fireworks.

BBP - 25-11-2013 at 23:40

It's been two weeks and I'm still working on that sock.

After that I'll have to make another one.

BBP - 27-11-2013 at 12:37

It qualifies as stocking and reaches over the knee, yes. Red fishnet. Since they're rather wide I have to tie them down, so that means extra work braiding a cord and pulling it through the edge.

KAPTKIRK - 30-11-2013 at 23:44

I can smell them from over here! Well maybe it's just my imagination running away with me a little!
They sound delicious!

I posted a couple of links on the "Breaking News...this just in..." thread.

This one is my favorite of the 30/min "In The Studio" format show. I'm doing hour shows now. These are only one of the many projects I'm doing at the DMA studio.

Zappadan starts tomorrow... will hit the town today, hope I can find something for Dad. Looking forward to Zappadan, there's been quite a few times this month when I really wanted to listen to some Zappa but decided against it over Zappadan.

Today & tomorrow, the temps. are supposed to go down by 25-30 degrees. It's cover the plant and wrap the pipes time out here. It will be well below freezing tonight and should struggle to reach 50 degrees by midday tomorrow. That's real cold for here!

Poor Aqua!
There's been a noticeable temperature drop here as well, plus fog. Made the shopping trip today very unpleasant.

Checked the TV Tropes entry for Awesome Music
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/AwesomeMusic/Music
and looked under the Other... header... Dweezil Zappa is there. Who added him, you reckon?

does it start with a B?

BBP - 5-12-2013 at 18:17

No I didn't. Was suspecting Trendmonger or something. Kinda sad though: the only entry for FZ in the Awesome Music wiki is Over-Nite Sensation, and I wouldn't rank that one in my top 10 albums.

There's a vicious thunderstorm out here now. Hope the garden tree holds out.

What a great man he became in country that hated, then came to embraced him. RIP Mr. Mandela.

Very sad, but his health troubles are over now. Bought a newspaper, said he left behind his wife, four children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and 7 billion friends.

Last night I went to bed with two knees in good condition. This morning I woke up with a nasty bleeding gash in my right knee.

My nightlife is so exciting I'd better not be conscious while it happens.

Funny you should mention it aqua, I was thinking she sleep-rode her bike delivering papers in the wee hours!

I've been making a stew in the Croc-Pot today that turned out rather well, if I don't say so meself. All free veggies from around here and I added some pork & spices to it and fantastico! I have a lot of good stew for under $5 bucks!
I wish you all a very merry Zappadan! Here's to all on The Goose!

Yesterday was the Tapas workshop. We also were scheduled to have a chocolate tasting thing, but the organizers cancelled that in a jerk move by e-mail last Wednesday evening. Since the organizer, a lovely near blind young lady singer, was having health issues (she needed surgery on Friday) there was no time or opportunity to organize anything to replace it.
Anyway we had lots of fun and I'm exhausted!
