Who knew that NASA had an artist in residence? Who knew it was Laurie Anderson? I’ve long been a big fan of her work. Like my Tom Waits fixation, it’s just another thing that makes my wife either look at me funny or endears me to her. Depends on the day…
The Austrian Yodel Rap tape I have that my friend Lali gave me… yes, THAT one is worth the funny look…
Recently, I’ve introduced Jack to the joy of Jet Moto. It’s a Playstation game I’ve been playing for years. Goes back to when I lived in Cambridge with Dan (who has fallen off the face of the Earth and I’d love to get back in touch with…). We’d always play it and/or Twisted Metal as a way of unwinding. Even though I have the PS2 now and far sexier games, I still really enjoy the simplicity of Jet Moto the very first (I don’t even like JM2 nor do I own JM3). Though, I think we’re going to get Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild just to try something new and different.
Anyway, after playing tonight, Jack grabbed one of his plastic knight-on-a-horse toys and was running around the room singing the theme music from the game.
When I told him that it was time to head up to bed he said, “I can’t. I’m still playing Horse Moto.”
I don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in ages…
