I have little to blog about, or rather, little to say on a blog that I haven't probably said a few hours ago to all my readers in person. In order to combat this, I stayed home and stewed for a day. Opened and closed the fridge a few scores of times. Killed several mosquitoes. Downloaded another gig and a half of crap. Spent some time and money on the internet. Found out that an old law in Bellingham, Washington, made it illegal for a woman to take more than 3 steps backwards while dancing.
Throughout all of this, I kept a notepad document open on my computer, where I would tab to and record my fleeting thoughts.
It's been ten hours. Lets take a look at what I came up with:
Entry One (verbatim): - people who refer to dollars as "bones"
Entry Two: there is no entry two. That's it.
All I have to work with is "people who refer to dollars as 'Bones'".
Now, obviously, I have no idea what in Gods green teeth I was thinking of when I typed that.
I can't even remember the last time I actually heard somebody use the word bones as a monetary unit.
This doesn't stop me from hating it, though. It infuriates me that somewhere, there might be somebody who uses this - possibly often. Maybe they "drop" these "bones" instead of spending them. Maybe they're buying bigger subwoofers for their Jetta at the auto shop off of Wal Mart. Maybe they're at their nearest Taco Bell wolfing down a Crunchwrap that only cost Three Bones. Maybe I can set them on fire if I hate them hard enough.
That being said, here is a girl named Sierra Hull.
You will never ever be as good as her on the mandolin, because she's like, fucking, goddamn, TWELVE? in this video.
Here she is about a year later, once Allison Krauss and Union Station went "Oh. Hey, come play with us."
And since I know you all can't wait to see what happens when she grows up, the answer is
LOL SHE DID. And LOL She got better and learned to sing and play appalachian guitar too.
Here she is in 2004 showing personality!
Aaaand here she is now, probably around 17ish, with an album out and all of Union Station coming to her parties and rocking out (she would be on the left side of the frame, playing guitar around a minute in)
Here is an extended version of a track from her album. You will click this link and press the triangle and play it loud, and then you might as well lock your instruments away and throw them off the overpass because you will never in a million parsecs surpass this 17 year old Southern Belle. I'm gonna go propose to her right now.
