Radio Ennui: Jackson

Workin' in Jackson this week...hate it. Quirks of the industry make it a drag. Too many pigs at the trough.



I do get to sleep at home...where the big man's been coughing. He's sick and inbetween burst of energy that are expended by pounding on me...he's pitiful, gets surely and hogs his Momma's attention.



I lost a filling...a jagged tooth dines on tongue.



I'm goin to Louisiana.

  1. Hate it when kids are sick, seems you feel everything they do for a while, then by the third cold of the year, its irritating. Remember one year young Zoe got 8 colds over the winter and spring, and be damned I got every one of them also. lol

    Don't know who was the bigger kid her or me

    1. He's not in too bad a shape this time around...just has this horrendous cough. He's been to his doctor. She says it's a virus that's been going around.* Four or five of his buddies from school were out this week.

      Me and Martha have taken turns sleeping with him...taken turns getting out of bed when he shows up in the middle of the night. Neither of us has slept.






      *She also had a sympathetic laugh at our desire to find a Belhaven house...in the suburbs. Friends of ours, she and her family gave up on Jackson not too long ago.

  2. So it's not as awesome as the song makes out? The F-word and I'll have to find a new candidate for when the fire goes out.

    1. Ha!

      Jackson...or the Jackson area I should say is great.* Doing my job in Jackson is a drag. Once a month, sometimes every other month I'll spend a week trying to work around here.

      * Jackson is right on the border of several counties...so when people get fed up they don't really have leave the city...they just move a couple of blocks down the road.

  3. Hope the Boy gets better very soon.
    I adore that version of Miserlou... so wonderfully moody.
    And I love your expression: "jagged tooth dines on tongue" - can almost feel it from here - and have a strangely distorted vision in my mind now of you as an alligator...

    1. I love Gallon Drunk.

      It is Saturday...so that's not so far off. :)

  4. How 'bout them REBELS!?!?!?!

    I was fully expecting a winless year, so I'm incredibly surprised by how well they've been playing (yes, even against Auburn, who is terrible). But I'm still only cautiously optimistic, as I'm having "Orgeron" thoughts. Yeh, Freeze gets them ready to play. And I think he'll be able to recruit decently. But this guy makes some of the weirdest (dumbest?) in-game decisions I believe I've seen since Orgeron.

    I see that Vandy does not warrant an in-game commentary on Flimsy Cups? :) Ah, I don't blame you. [Though we're only up 8-7 right now!]

    1. It might not be a bad idea to start one...of course I didn't think there was much interest in my game posts anymore.

      I think Ole Miss is on the right track...odd decisions aside (and last week was pretty odd)...they seem to be an actual football team this year.

  5. Penalties...penalties...penalties. GEEZ!!! Vandy's playin'em tough. Looks like they're about to pull within three with 4 minutes left!!!

  6. Looking ahead to South Carolina, maybe? That's all I can figure. The offense has looked morbid today. Offensive line, especially. NO reason to be forced to so many field goals by Vandy's defensive front.

  7. 24-17 with a little over 2 1/2 to go.

    1. That was a typical Vanderbilt game....irritatingly typical.

  9. Is there anything else you'd like to tell us about yesterday's games? Anything you'd like to mention?

  10. I guess I can't keep it a secret. (Did I ever tell y'all that I loathe Facebook?) Yep, the Missus took me down in pick'em. I was doomed by the likes of La Tech, South Carolina, and (yikes!) Duke. In short, I was humbled by a score of 9-8.

    I shall take my revenge next week!!!

  11. Never mind all that; Gallon Drink's former drummer Max Décharné is the front man in My Pet Band The Flaming Stars. You need them in your life.

    1. I knew I had at least heard the name.

      Thank you ma'am...and I agree. Excellent clip on your slab.

  12. Some good music from you as usual e.f. - thanks.
    Just watched 'The Conspirators' - film of the trial of the widow Surratt - accused of conspiring to murder Abe Lincoln (along with a whole lot of others). She was murdered by the new state in return.
    I've been mulling over my instant outrage today.
    I am still outraged. Kangaroo court for her - tyranny and a defeat for the new Constitution. If you found a country in corruption and injustice then it certainly doesn't bode well...

    1. Something to keep in mind when, what looks to be a particularly disgusting, bit of Lincoln-porn hits the theaters in a few weeks.

      These three songs kept popping up on the shuffle...until I downloaded the remix to Ignition by R Kelly. Threw the rotation of I guess.
