Another non-Occupy song. I mean I still am listening to other music you know!

Though not an Occupy song per se, I'd like to dedicate this to the misconceptions of the Occupy movement spread by the corporate main stream media.

Note: Violence against misconceptions is okay! Violence against people is not okay!

This acoustic version is better than the original by Men at Work I think. Colin Hay being the lead singer of Men at Work, it isn't actually a cover, but it sounds different enough with a Nick Drake kind of sound, that it is a very different song. Here is the original version:

I am posting yesterday's song (2/19/2011) late. G and I have a greyhound, who have had for merely 3 weeks. At 4:30 in the morning I took him out for a quick pee. Before I realized anything was happening in my half awake state, the dog pulled on the leash and somehow escaped the collar and had is nose up in a skunks face. Greyhounds are fast. Then once again, before I could reach him, he had raced back to the door of the house.

It was a long long day. After washing the skunkified pup, the issue was then the rank smell that lingered in the house. After much cleaning, airing out, candle burning mulled spices, lysol spraying, laughing, crying, and drinking, the house was in an acceptable condition once again.

Unfortunately this means we are probably going to have to evict our neighboring skunk (who lives under our shed, next to where the dog relieves himself). Pity. I rather like skunks.

Oh what a day, now about that restful weekend…
