Geo-rgia.  Geoooorgiiaaaaa...
We saw the movie about Ray Charles today.  Really, really good.  That Georgia song... tear... makes me want to cry.  I kind of didn't want to know that Ray Charles was a heroin addict though, I kind of just wanted to think he was a saint. 
Let me tell you about my job last night.  So I was a Graduate Party Assistant again- this time for two bands that were playing at the coffehaus.  The opening band had a "special guest" named Red Lightning.  Red Lightning is a 75 year old man with no teeth.  He was wearing long black pants studded with fake jewels and a large kimono-like black shirt, also studded with star-patterned fake jewels and accessorized with a large jewel studded belt.  To top it off, he was wearing some seriously cool sunglasses.  Before the show, he walked around outside where I was, with a little tape player, playing "Run Around Sue" and singing along.  He also performed with this radio, putting it up to the mic and singing along.  Every once in a while, he tried to strike up a conversation with me.  Examples-
"So... I just bought all those Twilight Zone episodes on.. what do you call that new thing? DVD?  I figure, they're gonna be sold out soon and I want to get while the gettin's good"
"Hey, sweetheart, are you havin' fun?  Good, good, now I'm happy"
"Hey! I just got a good idea.  For my valentines this year, I'm goin to send out cards to all my girlfriends that say 'Wild Thing, You Move Me' "
Hmm...
Anyone dressing up and going to a Halloween party?  What are you dressing up as?
