The Baptist Generals, Generally Speaking. And, I Received A Recorded Message

Just some thoughts:

I do not know too much about the Baptist Generals.
I have realized it is TOO LATE to tell you about their show at Good Records in Dallas, Texas yesterday.

However, I listened to them today, and I know they have a quirky, clamoring sound which took a lot of time and thought.
The Baptist Generals are (a quintet?) from the hallowed town of Denton, Texas. I do not know why they are called The Baptist Generals.
Maybe they wanted to be generals?

Next:
Here is a video from The Lumineers. I have heard this song.
But, I did not know the name of the artist until a few days ago.
The song can be a little annoying, but I am posting it anyway.

New topic:
I received a recorded message the other day.
The voice on the other end said I was selected to receive an Emergency Alert System, which was recommended by the National Alzheimer's Association and the National Diabetes Association. Why are they calling me? I thought..
I have neither of those diseases. (I'm 36).
Then I thought ... Oh, they must be calling me so I can START planning.

Have a good day. The End.

Zoe Saldana Enlightens Us All

Hi there:


The other day, Thursday, I was watching The Today Show, and there was an interview with Zoe Saldana, who is in the new movie, Star Trek, Into Darkness.
I only watched the Today Show because I had been looking earlier for information about the past tornadoes.

Zoe Saldana stated, at one point, that she is so happy to be a part of a series "that was started with the idea of promoting peace."
(Not a direct quote).

Huh?
Zoe Saldana is not in this movie because Star Trek's plotline constantly promoted peace. She is in this movie because she is getting paid a ton of money (millions?).

I was trying to like her. But that was definitely a strange moment.

THE END.

Have a peaceful day.

Still listening to Regina Spektor. Although I have mentioned her previously, I want to do it again.

One Business Card Is Just Fine, Thank You

Howdy, I think:

I really don't like getting 2 business cards from someone.

(Unless I, for some reason, have been anxiously wanting their business card for months).
I have a drawer full of business cards.
And, I tend to save them and keep business cards I don't need for years.
If I get two business cards from someone, I just look at the second card with dread.

I want to say, "Really! I just need one!"

Also: Happy Mother's Day...early.

THE END.

The Song I Listen To...

Good afternoon,

This is the song I listen to as I'm trying to avoid looking at the sign for the George W. Bush presidential center.
(Don't take me literally, but I do have this CD and quite enjoy it):

Right Right Now Now is from the Beastie Boys Album, To The 5 Boroughs.
This lyric is very relevant today (The album was released in 2004):

Columbine bowlin',
Childhood stolen
We need a bit more gun controllin'

Moving on:

View this link for the Random Acts of Kindness web site.
Scarily true: you never know when your random act of kindness will impact someone's day.

THE END.

Alice
truly, North Dallas Homegirl.
