PLEASE DON'T ASK...

...what happened to the week. Two days of ice, sick wife, catching up at work, daffy Nana, and...and...I'm sure there's something else I've forgotten for which I will be justly berated.

Anyway, it's Phil's birthday. Beast and I will drum-duet with our chopsticks tonight in tribute.

HOME AMID THE MESS

One bad thing about getting the power back on after it's been out for long enough is that every bit of junk that was lying around when the power went out is still there, but the alarm on the sump pump down in the crawl space at least stops howling like one of the Nazgûl once the power's back, and since the pile of scoodge-encrusted dishes in the sink are now merrily being cleaned in the dishwasher we will score this as a win for having electricity.

Oh, but has it ever thrown off Noodle and Beast's schedule. They've been down at Mémère and Pépère's having a barrel of laughs on their second straight unscheduled day off...and that means no FREAKIN' way were there going to be naps, but they WILL zonk out in The Awesomemobile (wife's car, if you haven't gathered) on the way home, making for one tremendous challenge to get them from sleeping in the car to sleeping in their beds. I'm hoping the restarted oil burner can heat the house in time, otherwise we've got a Phil Collins song on our hands:

ODDS OF A FULL-ON GENESIS REUNION: 23.5 PERCENT

It may be the first piece in the history of Rolling Stone magazine that wasn't a snide slap at the guys. Mike Rutherford:

The thought was [that] maybe, since the Lamb is about a young Puerto Rican kid and Peter is an old English man, it would be harder to portray him.
Well, yes, there is that.

(pleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpuhLEEEZE do a tour with Pete and Steve...)

/fanboy

UPDATE: Pete says maybe one day it'll happen.

HE SAID HELLO GOODBYE

What? NO!
More than 100 million album sales into his career and roughly two thirds of the way through our interview, Phil Collins casually serves notice of his retirement. Having joined a reformed Genesis for a world tour last year, he says he’s through with the touring and there’s no album planned. He’ll write, but only because he doesn’t know how to stop writing.
I am most thoroughly bummed, but Phil's been known to change his mind before, yes?
