Kung Fu Fun

So yesterday, Juice called me up: “You gotta come by and help me set up my record player.” Eventually I did. When I got there, he had some Bruce Lee DVD running. Seeing as how I was the one who purchased him a bunch Bruce Lee DVDs for Christmas, I was pleased to know he was enjoying them.

Okay, so the guy got a record player for Christmas and it was the same model as mine so he needed help setting it up. It wasn’t very complicated and he figured it out while I was on my way. But Juice didn’t have any records to play so I brought him some of my duplicates. Here’s a list of what I brought him:

• David Bowie - Pinups
• David Bowie - Lodger
• David Bowie - Let’s Dance

Juice didn’t want to keep those. I don’t blame him. They’re not that listenable. But there were some he wanted but felt guilty taking. Apparently, they’re too good for him. True, but it’s the holiday season and I was feeling generous, besides, they’re duplicates.

• David Bowie - Aladdin Sane (yes, more Bowie)
• Genesis - Spot the Pigeons (not a duplicate but it actually belongs to Juice so…)
• Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath (picture disc, really cool)
• Black Sabbath - Master of Reality
• Who - Who’s Next
• Genesis - Selling England by the Pound (not a duplicate, but he’d appreciate more than me)
• David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust

At first he said couldn’t accept Ziggy, but how can you have a home without a copy of Ziggy Stardust. Its essential. Its up there with heating and indoor plumbing. The fact that Juice lived in that house for a year and a half with only mp3s of Ziggy was baffling to me.

For the virgin play of the record player, Ziggy of course. The Bruce Lee movie was still running. I think it was The Big Boss but what do I know, right? Turns out the song Ziggy Stardust makes for great kung fu fighting music. But this movie was friggin’ hilarious. At one point, Bruce Lee is being attacked by a pack of large dogs. Its hard to describe but basically the cuts were so quickly done that it looked like the dogs were jumping over Bruce Lee. Oh yeah, and whenever anybody got stabbed in this movie, the stabber would be shown preparing to stab then the camera would cut to the stabbee lying on the ground with a knife in him.

Oh yeah, I was supposed to go to the Raptors game last night, but at the last minute, the friend I was going with bailed on me (typical) so I turned around and went home. I can’t go to a sporting event alone. It would feel too weird. Who would listen to my snarky comments? It’s like going to a restaurant alone. Its one thing to have a bite at McDonalds or something like that alone, but an actual real food please wait to be seated restaurant, nope can’t do that.
