I swear this is the last post tonight...

I was perusing my books in search of a book to read, and saw The Onion Field by Joseph Wambaugh, which I bought about 20 years ago and never got past the first 20 pages or so, but so many of my favorite authors credit Wambaugh with their careers, so I felt I should give it another chance.

And I found a very odd bookmark.



from the music choices, I think this was probably written when I was about 16 or 17. Apparently it was very important that I have at least 4 100 minute tapes, hahahaha.

Also, something is currently thumping across my roof, making the cats insane. I have a feeling it's a raccoon. Sounds heavier than a cat.

Actually, I think I was looking for something bluesy for a tape, and was trying to figure out which one I wanted.

I think this is the Dominoes I am referring to:

And The Swallows:

They were both on this fabulous CD by Rhino:

http://www.amazon.com/Risque-Rhythm-Nasty-Various-Artists/dp/B0000032HL

which is an entire album of euphemistic R & B songs from the 50s. I highly recommend it.

And IIRC, the new Eric Clapton would be Unplugged, I presume.

So I would guess this note at some time in 1992, putting me at 17 or 18 years old.

Ah. my bad. I just saw the note and thought you meant "new" Clapton as in new you just heard, w/"blues" in the title and by something w/"dominoes". Thus my thinky.

but good to know about that other stuff, now. =)

More seriously, I hope the thing on the roof was looking for someone else and has gone away by now.

I think it was a raccoon. I went outside to smoke 10 minutes ago and the cute little black alley cat came over to say hello and get some skritches and then all of a sudden her hackles raised and she growled and got into stalker stance and skulked off toward something she was staring at in the alley. More than likely it was a raccoon, as she's really the only current alley cat. She came back about 3 minutes later and sat with me again and I gave her some treats.
