The Zen Squirrel Theories

    Hey, everyone. I've been thinking about the squirrel I told you about yesterday. I'm an avid student of animal behavior and I think I've come up with a few more possibilities for his odd behavior.
1. My car is gray, like him. He thinks the car is the biggest, shiniest, scariest squirrel in the world.
2. He's staring at his reflection, being a supremely egotistical squirrel.
3. It's a zen thing and he is trying to achieve inner peace.
4. A friend of his was struck by a similar vehicle and he is in mourning.
5. He is trying to determine if my car is edible.
6. He is hoping to write 'wash me' on the vehicle in squirrel language.
7. He placed an acorn in the tail pipe, like Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop and is currently gloating over disabling the vehicle. (Eddie used a banana)
8. He was sitting to the east of the car so as to block the extremely cold west wind.
9. He has heard the engine running and thinks that there are captured squirrels under the hood, doomed to a lifetime of servitude. He is justifiably concerned and is even now planning a sophisticated prison break.
10. He was having a macho stare down with his own reflection and was too stupid to know it.
11. He was trying to make the car disappear by mind control. If he succeeds he will open a magic show in Vegas, wearing a sequined squirrel suit. He is currently recruiting a beautiful squirrel assistant who must look good in Spandex.

It's So Easy

     Hey, everyone, out there in etherland. I've been playing some new songs this morning on my keyboard. You may remember a Buddy Holly tune called It's So Easy . I hadn't matched the title to the song before today so I was delighted when I saw that it was the one that goes like this: "It's so easy to fall in love, it's so easy to fall in love." It rocks pretty good. A later version of it, after amps and guitars had improved, really rocked. It seems like Joan Jett may have done a version. Anyway, I was playing this song and I thought about a fun thing I like to do. Sometimes I'll start to play a song and tell Carley, or the grandkids, whoever may be there, a silly story about it.      For instance, I would say that once upon a time Buddy Holly came to me and said, "CE, I need a hit, my man. The kids need shoes. I want to go on American bandstand, you know what I'm saying?"     "Yeah, Buddy, I hear you. But the thing is, I think ...

Movie Review: Limitless

    Hey, everyone. I ventured off the mountain today, down into the haunts of men. I'll tell you about a movie I saw, then later I'll tell you about some other stuff. The movie is Unlimited . This is a story that you would have to call science fiction, but in the not so distant future you may call it reality.      Bradley Cooper plays Edward Morra. If you looked up loser in the dictionary you would see this guy's picture. He has freeloaded off his girlfriend for years. He claims to be a writer but can't seem to put words on paper. His woman leaves him; he is a scroungy, dirty dude with no future, no drive and no money. He is about to be evicted from his scummy apartment.     Then he bumps into an old friend. The friend wants him to try a new drug which comes in the form of a small, clear pill. What Edward doesn't know is that the pill is pretty awesome. The drug is designed to unlock the true potential of the human brain. We only use a...

Dr. Simon's Exoskeleton (Shadowgun)

    Hey, everyone. Nice to be back with you after a tough, hectic week. We have had some snow, sleet, fog, drizzle, torrential rain and flooding this week.      I'd like to talk, yet again, about Shadowgun , the shooter game for I-Padster. I was much further along than what I thought when I posted about some of the battles yet to be faced for those of you who had just killed the Driller. The fact is that I am on the last level. This level has Dr. Simon, the resident evil nutcase, inhabiting a monstrous, powerful robot. His brain resides in a bubble on top, much like a cherry on a hot fudge Sunday. (Yes, I am still on my eating binge) It is a tremendous fight because you not only have to kill this huge semi-person, but there are a bunch of mutant guards, flying drones etc. to deal with at the same time. I had played the darn level about thirty times and decided to check out someone else's battle. So I went to You-Tube and typed in, Dr. Simon Exoskelet...
