Displaying 0 To 0 Of 0 Comments Weekend Music Thread – Your Personal Soundtrack Heh–I kinda lied. I also play a lot of Tito Puente when I vacuum. » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 19, 2011 @ 2:43 pm Seriously, I’ve never heard bad blues. I can listen anytime and never get tired of it. I heart it too, KQ!! » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 19, 2011 @ 2:39 pm I play opera when I clean the house, and sing this in the shower–favorite aria from my favorite opera: » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 19, 2011 @ 2:36 pm Driving around, I usually listen to Blues:
» Posted By Chernynkaya On November 19, 2011 @ 2:24 pm AdLib, that Donald Fagin song does have a dark feel about it. » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 19, 2011 @ 2:16 pm Love that song, KT. » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 19, 2011 @ 2:02 pm 😆 😆 Song from my first acid trip. » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 19, 2011 @ 1:59 pm This is a little embarrassing, because I’m not really crazy about “Bread.” But what makes it very special is that both my first husband AND my second husband dedicated the song to “us” 27 years apart! Both husbands thought it should be Our Song. » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 19, 2011 @ 1:36 pm Occupy Los Angeles Protest 11/17/11 LAPD has closed practically the entire Downtown area in preparation to remove Occupy LA–freeway off ramps are closed as well as most streets. They have allowed only selected journalists into the area. 27 buses are arriving from Dodger Stadium, where they will process the arrests. I have really mixed feelings about this. On one hand, the City has been very accommodating and offered them space elsewhere. On the other hand, it’s not a homeless camp, it’s a protest. On the third hand, this may force the group to formulate4 next steps. Here’s a livestream: » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 29, 2011 @ 11:27 pm Patsy, that is such a powerful video! It’s heartbreaking and also makes me want us so badly to keep on fighting! Thanks for posting that. You really know how to find ’em! » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 18, 2011 @ 10:18 am I’m telling ya, the stupid media only focuses on the young people as a way to label and marginalize the movement. But whenever I go to OWS-LA I see many people over the age of 40. Many. But you won’t see them interviewed. » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 17, 2011 @ 8:24 pm My other hip is titanium. Looks like this one needs some replacing too now. 🙁 » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 17, 2011 @ 5:35 pm Oh, Em–I’m blushing. And I feel pretty old and out of shape about now. My arthritic hip is aching! » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 17, 2011 @ 5:29 pm HEH! Not quite, KT. It means “busybody.” » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 17, 2011 @ 5:27 pm Thanks so much Em! I have no excuse not to go: the train, not working, no little kids, not ill, good weather, $5 fare. Trust me–I am no hero and if it were an inconvenience I might not have. Also, I’m a yenta. » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 17, 2011 @ 3:09 pm Gosh, AdLib, you are right about the timing of the march making greater participation prohibitive. See how bubbled we can get? No little kids and I don’t have a job, so all those issues didn’t occur to me. Thanks for the reality check!! While LAPD had been great so far, they don’t really have a good reputation. If the protests were against Eli Broad or any other big developer–or against beach access in Malibu– just watch how fast Villaraigosa would turn feral–as your terrific post on the other part of the Planet so wonderfully points out! Our city isn’t bought and paid for by the banks so much, but the developers, well, they’re another story. But I wanted to make the point that when Mayors are smart, and let the protesters be, they get less news coverage and could become forgotten. It really points out how the powers that be never ever learn. That’s to our big advantage! » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 17, 2011 @ 3:05 pm 😆 😆 Uh, now that you mention it, it’s beyond intimidating. It’s terrifying! » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 17, 2011 @ 2:28 pm I hear you, Khirad. I get emails all the time for protests in Occupy Long Beach, but it seems to me to take away from the impact of the larger Downtown LA protests. A bunch of smaller protests of 100 or less people feels ineffective. » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 17, 2011 @ 2:19 pm E’cat, I am still surprised by our MetroRail system, small as it is. It really covers about a hundred miles or more, but you know how spread out LA is so it’s never enough. But I love it. We plan on taking the train to Pasadena this weekend, just to explore the stops. From Long Beach to Pasadena is about 45 miles–for $5 round-trip and as many transfers as you want. » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 17, 2011 @ 2:17 pm Sally, you know what? You made me look! And I do see what looks like me in the front there, but I was further back, so it can’t be me. Let me tell you, even on a sunny day, I am almost too out of shape for these marches. It wasn’t even the march so much as the long UPHILL walk from the train station. Thanks for your support!! » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 17, 2011 @ 2:12 pm Good point Khirad–about the Mayors AND the drumming. But Villraigosa is untrustworthy. OWS_LA is always worried about eviction. As far as more problems to deal with here in LA, I think it’s more of a question of more distractions–after all, right now the LA Auto Show is happening just blocks from the march, and let’s get our priorities straight! There are tens of thousands at the LA Convention Center to see shiny new objects. And Demi and Ashton are divorcing! » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 17, 2011 @ 2:03 pm Ratigan is such a self-righteous fraud. » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 17, 2011 @ 1:29 pm OWS Episode V: The U.S. Empire Strikes Back AdLib, that really made me laugh! » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 23, 2011 @ 7:06 pm » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 23, 2011 @ 6:40 pm KT, I found it on YT. I was thinking about 1968 Convention and sure enough, there were several videos. And yes, I watched that excellent “Berkeley in the Sixties”–HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 20, 2011 @ 12:46 pm Bito, I know one always loses an argument by invoking Hitler, but he really did adore his German Shepard. » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 20, 2011 @ 12:15 pm AB– that did the trick–I teared up. It’s a prayer. For me, it is also a more personal prayer, for my son as well as his entire generation. I’ve had my moment. His time doesn’t look as promising. » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 20, 2011 @ 10:38 am Kes–he really DOES! 😆 » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 20, 2011 @ 10:36 am Bito– I swear I thought of that when I found these pictures, because Xeni from BoingBoing said she thought they would make Pike a meme for casual brutality. But I thought, Too late. The meme is going to be “PIKED!” » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 20, 2011 @ 10:34 am KQ he looked totally bored. And they said the police felt endangered. Yeah, he looks terrified. » Posted By Chernynkaya On November 20, 2011 @ 10:32 amComments Posted By Chernynkaya

The operation was so easy last time, I don’t really mind doing it again. Walked out of the hospital without a cane two days later. (It’s a new procedure only this one doc does. Also great hospital PT.)
