Curiousness in the Shower

Ponderings, ,

As I was in the shower this morning and washing my hair, I wondered if other people do the same thing I do? I know what you’re thinking, but I’m talking about cleaning order here.

Before I get in the shower, I turn on the water and let it heat up. I get in the shower and I get wet all over. I then shampoo/condition my hair. Then I rinse my hair. I then soap up the rest of my body, and then rinse the soap off. I shut the water off, and then I squeegee the excess water from myself with my hands. After that, I towel off.

What about you?

And for those of you with hair on your head, or for those of you who don’t now but did: Do you wash your hair with shampoo/conditioner first, then rinse, then soap up the rest of your body? Or do you do it all at once?

And how exactly do we learn our bathing techniques?

Until next time...

This Corrosion

Ponderings, ,

A friend and former blogger, madhouse6, commented on Twitter the other day about the lyrics of a The Sisters of Mercy song. That in turn reminded me of a cover I had heard of another The Sisters of Mercy song. Because that’s how my brain works.

Here is “This Corrosion” as covered by the talented Diane Birch:

If you don’t remember (or haven’t heard), here is the original song as done by The Sisters of Mercy in 1987:

I always loved the original, but I absolutely love what Diane Birch did with this song. So much so that I actually have a difficult time putting it into words. Weird, no?

You can find “This Corrosion” on Diane’s second album called “The Velveteen Age“. It is a covers album, and contains several other excellent covers like “Kiss Them For Me”:

And here’s the original “Kiss Them For Me” by Siouxsie and the Banshees:

Diane’s first album “Bible Belt” also has many great songs on it.

“Choo Choo”:

Pimping out some Peeps.

Two of my best buddies have started blogging. Well, one has started, the other has restarted. But both are essentially new to the blogging world.

Go check out Mike at Farm This!, and Dwayne at ARBearGuy’s Titillating Tidbits.

And tell ’em Large Marge sent ya!

Well, maybe not Large Marge, but me. I couldn’t resist the Pee Wee Herman reference.

Until next time...
