I'll go on; I can't go on; I'll go on

Sometimes, lying on my back in the backyard, I get the well-known sensation of distant and cold emptiness above me and it fills me with dread. It's too big, too icy, too unheimlich.

Other times, the endless streams of stars above, rotating and burning and hurtling through nothing, extending out past any imaginable distance, beginning nowhere and ending nowhere.. Other times, that huge uncaring unknowable cavern is the most comforting thing I can imagine. Because it means I don't matter, and that's great news.

Alf to host television special


By Associated Press


Wednesday, June 30, 2004 - NEW YORK (AP) -- Ed McMahon has found the unlikeliest of talk-show hosts to replace Johnny Carson: Alf, the alien from the planet Melmac.

McMahon will be announcing "Heeeere's Alf!" on a half-hour special that will air July 7 on TV Land, the cable channel said.

"Alf's Hit Talk Show" will rely on the tried and true format of a late-night talk show with monologue, banter and guests - with one significant alteration: an alien from a popular `80s TV sitcom as host.

Alf will be joined by guests Dennis Franz of "NYPD Blue" and comedian Drew Carey, with special appearances by Joan Rivers and Henry Winkler.

As for TV Land's faith in him to join the ranks of David Letterman, Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien, Alf said in a recent statement: "They have demonstrated superb taste by giving me my own show and it's humbling that they recognize my unequaled genius."

Whether the show is, in fact, a "hit" will depend on the reception of the half-hour special, which could be developed into a series, TV Land said.

Following "Alf's Hit Talk Show," TV Land will run a four-episode marathon of classic "Alf" shows. The comedy about a furry alien wiseguy who lives with an Earth family after crashing into their garage ran from 1986-90.

My day at work can be expressed by this cartoon. That’s all I’m going to say about that.

The almost two hour drive home in heavy traffic was much eased by the music of John Coltrane. Thanks for “A Love Supreme”, John. All four parts.

It was good to see redmaenad tonight after her asskicking lesson, and even better to see that she put something in her LJ after a million years of not doing so. She’s a good people.

Tomorrow I go see the psych doc, and I get to explain to him that I need less sweat and uncalled-for napping in my life. I think he’ll agree.

How the hell does a 7 foot 7 inch ex NBA star get thrown from a car in an accident? Kinetic energy is mysterious.

Each paragraph of this short LJ post consists of two sentences. I wonder why that is?
