I'm having a Monday on a Tuesday

Gave myself a long weekend for my birthday, which was very nice. And now
there is snow in the forecast for tomorrow, also nice. But that means I
don't really feel like doing *anything* today.

So here are the Top
13 Demotivators

I have this one hanging over my desk right now:

my first mix

I was cleaning off my desk yesterday and found this randomly shoved into one of the many hiding places. My mom's friend Robyn gave this to me when I was wee little. No idea how small, but the entire A-side is In Harmony, a Sesame Street record. But the B-Side...that was a treasure trove of classic rock and weird sounds:

-- Rice Krispies commercials from the 1960s and one that had to be from the late 70s - early 80s because of the silly guitar sound on it.

-- some weird electronic voice telling me to sit back and enjoy "leisure sampler 3" and then playing "take me out to the ball game" backwards

-- Two songs by The Who: Magic Bus and Pinball Wizard (though the recording was the 1979 acoustic performance by Pete Townsend).

-- Carly Simon songs: Such a Good Boy, Maryanne (which was on In Harmony 2), De Bat (Fly In Me Face)

-- Melanie Alexander Beetle

-- Donovan Happiness Run and I Love My Shirt

-- "Old Cotton Blossom Number One" which is apparently from Showboat, though I can't find it anywhere online

-- John Hartford (??) Up On The Hill Where They Do The Boogie (this is not the exact recording, the one on my tape is MUCH MUCH faster...he is wailing on the banjo), and Electric Washing Machine

-- Alley Oop which I always associated with Scooby-Doo, but I'm not sure why. I think there must have been an episode with a goofy caveman or something...

-- live songs by Noel Paul Stookey (From Peter, Paul & Mary). He did "I Know an Old Lady", some kind of warm-up song about a desert island and a hilarious comedy bit about a tap-dancing mouse.
