Aging Geeksters Unite!

Oh man, the Thomas Dolby concert was AWESOME. Even if "She Blinded Me with Science" is the only song you know, Snarky highly recommends this! There won't be any body slamming or sweaty zeitgeist communion, but there will be a definite bond of geekitude, nostalgia, and just "ain't it cool" gee-whizzedness.

 

And now Snarky has this song stuck in her head:

 

"One of Our Submarines"

 

One of our submarines is missing tonight

Seems she ran aground on manoeuvres

One of our submarines

A hungry heart

To regulate their breathing

One more night

the Winter Boys are freezing in their spam time

The Baltic moon

Along the northern seaboard

And down below

The Winter Boys are waiting for the storm

Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye

Shallow water - channel and tide

And I can trace my history

Down one generation to my home

In one of our submarines

One of our submarines

The red light flicker, sonar weak

Air valves hissing open

Half her pressure blown away

Flounder in the ocean

See the Winter Boys

Drinking heavy water from a stone

Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye

Shallow water - channel and tide

Bye-bye empire, empire bye-bye

Tired illusion drown in the night

And I can trace my history

Down one generation to my home

In one of our submarines

One of our submarines

One of our submarines

One of our submarines is missing tonight

Seems she ran aground on manoeuveres

One of our submarines

 

Today Snarky's wearing what's left of her Tombstone/Sweet Cove SN combo from last night and the zesty fragrance of Pangea Organics Chilean red clover with geranium & grapefruit lotion (she got a free sample).

Saturday Darkity shed her winter skin and flitting among the flailing hippies at an Earth Day festival. She danced to retro-gypsy marching band music and rode a choo choo train.

 

Sunday she spent most of the day indoors (for shame!) filing away the stacks of paperwork drifting about the apartment. During a supply run she stepped in to the 3-D gallery/museum and saw a book of 3-D pinup girl posters and thought of minilux.

 

The whole time, in the back of her head, she could feel the clicks, whirrs, brass hits, and staccatto drumbeats of a synthesizer punctuating every step.

 

Bree-bop Bee-Whoop!
