Silly....

Adjusting to PALM SPRINGS......
May 30th:
Just moved to PALM SPRINGS with the help of John & Bob...Now this is a state that knows how to live!! Beautiful sunny days and warm balmy evenings. What a place! It was beautiful. I've finally found my home. I love it here.
June 14th:
Really heating up. Got to 100 today. Not a problem. Live in an air-conditioned home, drive an air-conditioned car. What a pleasure to see the sun everyday like this. I'm turning into a sun worshipper.
June 30th:
Had the backyard landscaped with western plants today. Lots of cactus and rocks. What a breeze to maintain. No more mowing lawn for me. Another scorcher today, but I love it here.
July 10th:
The temperature hasn't been below 100 all week. How do people get used to this kind of heat? At least it's kind of windy though. But getting used to the heat is taking longer than I expected.
July 15th:
Fell asleep by the community pool.(Got 3rd degree burns over 60% of my body). Missed 3 days of work. What a dumb thing to do. I learned my lesson though. Got to respect the ol' sun in a climate like this.
July 20th:
I missed Lomita (my cat) sneaking into the car when I left this morning. By the time I got to the hot car at noon, Lomita had died and swollen up to the size of a shopping bag and stank up the upholstery. The car now smells like Kibbles and shits. I learned my lesson though. No more pets in this heat.
July 25th:
The wind sucks. It feels like a giant freaking blow dryer!! And it's hot as Hell. The home air-conditioner is on the fritz and the AC repairman charged $200 just to drive by and tell me he needed to order parts.
July 30th:
Been sleeping outside on the patio for 3 nights now. $225,000 house and I can't even go inside. Why did I ever come here?
Aug. 4th:
It's 115 degrees. Finally got the air-conditioner fixed today. It cost $500 and gets the temperature down to 85. I hate this stupid state.
Aug. 8th:
If another wise ass cracks, "Hot enough for you today?" I'm going to strangle him. Damn heat. By the time I get to work the radiator is boiling over, my clothes are soaking wet, and I smell like baked cat!!
Aug. 9th:
Tried to run some errands after work. Wore shorts, and when I sat on the seats in the car. I thought my ass was on fire. I lost 2 layers of flesh and all the hair on the back of my legs and ass. Now my car smells like burnt hair, fried ass, and baked cat.
Aug. 10th:
The weather report might as well be a damn recording. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. Hot and sunny. It's been too hot to do shit for 2 damn months and the weatherman says it might really warm up next week. Doesn't it ever rain in this damn desert?? Water rationing will be next, so my $1700 worth of cactus will just dry up and blow over. Even the cactus can't live in this damn heat
Aug. 14th:
Welcome to HELL!!! Temperature got to 115 today. Forgot to crack the window and blew the damn windshield out of the car. The installer came to fix it and said, "Hot enough for you today?" My sister had to spend $1500 to bail me out of jail. Freaking Palm Springs. What kind of a sick demented idiot would want to live here??

A Note from The Corrigans.......
On the 1st of April 2008 we sent a speculative email out to hundreds of people advising them that our song “Theres no one as Irish as Barack O’Bama” was on youtube. We were then known as Hardy Drew and the Nancy Boys. When we went the mail we had about 1000 youtube hits since posting 8 weeks earlier.
Theo Spark was the only one who replied and he posted the song saying this will be a massive hit. He continued to plug the song and was more enthusiastic than ourselves. He warned us to re-record it. We did.
Now as we approach three million hits, celebrate a record deal with Universal and Decca, remember our performance at the Inauguration , enjoy our TV APPEARANCES that nclude, Hardball,CBS,ABC,Fox,and the O’reilly factor in the USA, 2 ANDREW Marr show appearances on BBC, BBC News 24,BBC WORLD AND a documentary on ITV as well as ZDF Germany and Late Late show,Podge and Rodge ,The Afternoon show and Ice on RTE we thank Theo.
We also celebrate chart success in Ireland, UK, Canda and Hungary and expect to break into the American Charts in the coming week.
We have completed an album for release in March.
Great to have people believe in you. Thanks Theo.
Our recording room is now called the Theo room.
Thank you for your enormous part in our success.
Regards
The Corrigans
Glad to have been of some help.

Corrigans sign to major label. They will go far.

A couple of modern nursery rhymes......
It's Raining, It's Pouring
Oh sh!t, it's Global Warming.
Mary had a little lamb
It ran into a pylon.
10,000 volts went up its @ss
And turned its wool to nylon.
