The song about ruing the blues does exist on the internet! It is called, wait for it, “Rue The Blues” and it’s by Oakley Hall. You can hear it on their Myspace page. I feel silly that I searched for it wrong, but it’s worth it to find the song again and yes, to share it with you.
On Friday I’m doing a Literary Death Match in Dallas. Readers include Will Clarke (Dallas), William Razavi (San Antonio), and Katherine Center (Houston). I’m not sure what I’m going to read yet, but it could involve going for it and raising hell.

I have this video all queued up to watch so I can learn how to make an angel food cake but I am too weirded out that it is called “Let Them Eat Foam” to watch it.
Last night it got down to 17ºF here. I headed under the covers and wrote some nonsense and then had terrible dreams. I don’t know how you cold weather clime dwellers (climers?) get anything done.
A month ago I was driving to my dentist appointment and I heard a song lyric that sounded like “you’ll never rue the blues like I do,” but now that I look it up, the song appears to not exist on the internet. I probably didn’t hear it right but I like the idea of ruing the blues.
Yesterday I made carne seca with my dad’s home-ground chili powder. It takes all day to make the stuff so I was happy it turned out. The chili powder had a good spice and tasted very fresh. Carne seca is a good source of your recommended daily orange fat requirement. I also did a King’s Cake which was good if a little low on filling. It rose properly, which is more than I can say for the other breads I tried this week. I’ve had to throw two loaves out the window for the birds.
Let’s say an officer is investigating a crime, and in the course of talking to a person of interest, he comes across a piece of potential evidence that belongs to that person. The officer could ask to keep that evidence, but he would need a warrant to legally remove it without the person’s approval, right? Related: How long does it take to get a warrant?
On major holidays in Texas, the cops set up no-refusal checkpoints complete with judges who will approve warrants right there to take your blood. I believe they arrested 24 people on New Year’s. Sleepy judges.
Once I figured out how to turn off the word count display in Word 2007 it became much easier to type.
