Wikpedia, researching The Office (UK); Big George (born in the year of the kaiser and RIP) sings theme "handbags and gladrags", which i had on a GOOD early '70s Rod Stuart album (yes, he WAS good when Richard Nixon was president!) other fact, The Office (UK) takes place in Slough, Berkshire; incestry.com has Ma's mother's all four grandparents coming from Harwell, UK; mapquest - 47 or so miles away....Justin Case oi wanted t' 'ave tai on me uk TOUR, or go down the pub then and use the loo; like Ernest Borgnine as ROO in The Summer of the 17th Doll on atlanta tv in my SC trailer in '79 or so: "'e thainks e's th' crayown jules!" (crown jewels) wikpedia sez: Ernest Borgnine played , a 1959 Oz movie, released 16 december 61, when my dad was stationed at camp lejeune, NC and combing his hair before he takes out the garbage (I DONT!) this Oz-British film had sir john mills, angela lansbury and McHale, pre-Navy, speaking in a VERY broad Aussie accent...Hello World was a NEW album and i still remember this VERY obscure borgnine movie but.....my parents are cuzzins! (incestry.com!)"..... Ricky Gervais facts; I knew it! my second ex-wife had a Gervais-ne-Jarvis grandparents and Ricky (the office) dad was a franco-ontarian (London - Garth Hudson and Dad's grandmother was from Mt. Brydges) with a wee bit of Iroquois Canadian soldier met english mum during the ballroom blitz...his hometown is a suburb of reading, berkshire (MY maternal grandmum's roots!) and THE OFFICE set in Slough...age; born same year as JOHN BOUCHER! and he really WAS a singer, then became a comedian (like me!): Seona Dancing, the band on London 1982-1984.. funny haircut music and were they ever Top of the pops? another funny haircut band.....the Beatles!!!!!!....hahahahahahah....(see, singer-cum-comedian, lissen to too much Blowfish in the New Wave on VARULVEN!!!"I'm a STAR!!!!!!!

Saturday Feb. 14, 2015 since Chicken Little (Boston Globe) cried "the sky is falling" and those mofos are shuttin' down the MTA (glad they fired that skela!) blew off sci-fi festival (oy! i'm losing money!) to check out my Laughing Academy p.o. box (MRS. Curt (Pastiche) usedta work at that p.o.!) in JP. Trodding past Green Street Condos, where Nirvana opened for Chester Slicks, who saw Gizmos in Columbus, Ohio Halloween, looked into Papercuts JP "a new independent bookstore in boston", 5 Green Street ("like" papercuts jp on facebook!) talking with the young lady behind the counter, "this reminds me of Loren Ipsum" in inman square and "that's their old sign out front"" like Georgie Girl, "window-shoppin' but never stoppin' to buy' I DID eyeball the music books (Mudhoney's story? hey it's been 20 years, makes 'em halfway to Gizmo legend-dom BUT they aint jackshit vs. 50 years of Shadows of Knight as my facebook friend Jimmy Sohns BOMBARDS me with gig info and more power to him for STILL playin'!) also WRCA 1330 AM was SPLENDID from 9 pm on; 9 pm: country oldies ( Don Gibson i believe);10 pm-olde radio shows from 1950 and 1949;11 pm- peter sheinfeldt rockin' them ole 78s;midnight is a comedy show with a facebook page, gotta google it, lotsa baby boomer nostalgia and 0100, though deceased, Danny Stiles spinnin' 40s 78s! that's it for this week, no MTA tomorow, will Gee Julie drive me to sci-fi festival? stay tooned, as usual, i dont aim on dyin' YET but One Kind Favour: see that my grave is kept cleaner than GG allin's!"..... AND at Papercuts JP, the Viv/Slits bio, London '77, as Henry Miller said in REDS "there was a whole lot of fucking going on" and she reads like a "best of" London '77 UK punk! thought you werent 'sposed to kiss and tell or write "I DID the Band" The Electric Comedy Hour midnight every friday WRCA 1330 AM; imagine the Car Talk guys praising Jimmy Durante! somehow the No Name restaurant is mentioned as a sponsor; Ken Highland LIKES this, it's like olde-tyme radio in the '40s! I AM my mother, back on the Blodgett farm, dressing like her, like Norman Bates (hahahahahahaha!) "lissenin' to BBC radio 4; war and peace-episode 7! really good acting and it's Giz-storic;diggin' it! "Napoleon plans to invade Moscow"....i....feel like i was born a couple hundred years ago....L.

snow day-watch an Underground Video (in J.P.!) video on Antonin
Artaud in French; he was declared insane, was it suicide or
murder? and he even favours photos of current Captain PJ OR his pere
(RIP) Larry "the Taz" LeBlanc! long-lost cuzzins? "incestry.com"
DOES say where the LeBlancs were from in France before they early settled
Nova Scotia. another splendid JP video (the Goodwill on centre street)
was the 2001 BBC season of The Office! SO much better than the
Amerika First remake! (ok, my great-grandmother Highland was 3/4 Loyalist
and 1/4 nor'n irish, so Britannia First! is Ken Kaiser keeping
up with how much i switch sides?) British humour (Gee Julie: "this
is wierd") BUT Ricky Gervais funnier'n hell, "oi used
to bay in a band" and he's a good/funny singer-songwriter! ("wai
opinned for a Scottish band named Texas"). Gee Julie had
to put on English subtitles, culdn't quoit understained the di'lect!
AND in a dance club scene, it says "Tom Jones "love Bomb"
as they play a 12 inch vinyl! AND "Spandau Ballet; "True"
or whatever is that soft-rock classic....either way, hope to watch it
agin, Goodwill and Boomerangs in JP has GREAT stuff! (AND read book
one of my 1970 Godfather edition as the snow fell; I wanna be
the Gizfather; Don with the big cajones!"....
Boston Sci-Fi Festival at Somerville Theater, double-feature: Dr. Who and
the Daleks/Daleks' Invasion Earth: 2150 AD!!!!!!!! so i see why Who-berts
are so fanatical (not that I have addiction/fanaticalism problems, BUT...)....the
1965 pilot is camp/Mod, what can I say? the Doctor's mod teen has a Dusty Springfield-cum-Pet
Clark bouffant and her boyfriend dresses like the Animals-cum-1990s Mickey
Bliss at the Kirkland (and unlike George Harrison on meeting George Martin,
I DO like that tie!). the corridor of the Dalek's castle looks like Star Trek
meets the Avengers and the people in the forest with platinum Spock hairdos
and blue eye shadow (and that's All the Young Dudes!);as Solomon Gruberger woulda
said in O. Rextasy: "take that Ziggy Stardust!" (actually they look
more Jobriath but dudes, we're talkin' 1965!!!!) Gee Julie working, missed this,
but most important of the 1966 Dalek invasion earth; the teen gurl had lost
the bouffant and had a Mod flip hairdo, a year later! yep, sci-fi camp, LOVIN'
this festival, sister festival in Columbus Ohio, home of Ohio State! (yes, Ken
Highland LIKES Dr. Who AND college football and even Steely Dan tribute bands
if'n i saw them)
"Hopelessly Obscure Sci-Fi Festival at Somerville Theater fare tonight
