Martinis at eight

So! the Inauguration's done.
What a week for history!
This means so much for everyone
(at least, they said so on TV)
So seek ye not terror attacks
There's no need yet to cower and scrounge
Just have a drink, sit back, relax
We're going to listen to some lounge.

8:00
1. Combustible Edison - 20th Century (3:17)

Yes, it's been a boring week at work; but, Monday I didn't have to go in and Tuesday was slow because everyone was Doing Something Else. I've been doing cross-stitch and they've been coming along nicely. I'll post some pics later.

18. Tipsy - Liquordelic (4:01)

All this lounge music, it's funny. Your grandparents (or parents) used to listen to this stuff and it was pretty swinging stuff. They also smoked and drank and ate red meat and beat the shit out of the Nazis and the Communists and outlived the depression and gave us McCarthyism and screwed up Africa and laid the groundwork for all the problems we're having these days. It's great. I accuse my parents.....
