Nano, Nano

I'm about to take the plunge and get an iPod Nano. I can get the 500 song version for $200 or the 1,000 song version for $250. I'll get the 500 song version. Hell, I'm not sure I've even heard 1,000 different songs in my life.

My smart (aleck) son, however, said as old as I am, I've probably heard a million. No, I don't remember seeing Beethoven in concert.

I've already downloaded a few songs from iTunes in anticipation. All blues so, far of course:

B.B. King–To Know You is to Love You and The Thrill is Gone.

Little Milton–His last CD, "Think of Me." The entire CD for $10.

Tinsley Ellis–To the Devil for a Dime (live version)–damn good stuff.

Jimbo Mathus–Stateline Women, also damn good stuff.

I'll get some non-blues stuff, too. In the 70s when 8 tracks were the rage (and also the only alternative to radio), Everybody had the following tapes: Guess Who Greatest Hits, CCR Greatest Hits, some Hendrix and some Clapton.

So what would an iPod Nano be without a few classics, like Layla, Hotel California, Green Grass and High Tides, and Freebird.

Ever see an old Esther Williams swimming movie, with the synchronized swimming? Strange thing to be reminded of when I saw this picture.

Yu-Gi-Oh Tournament

Yu-
Originally uploaded by sanscript.

Two weeks ago, on Saturday, October 8, some kids, including Andrew, played in an informal Yu-Gi-Oh tournament at the Hamburg City Park. A week later, the number participating doubled to 16.

They hope to have a tournament every week. I don't know if they give prizes, like a special Yu-Gi-Oh card or something, but it doesn't matter. They enjoy getting together and playing, or trading cards.

The most recent tournament lasted about two hours. It's good to see them getting together like this and enjoying themselves.

So Full of Shit

Madonna is a worldwide pop icon, once notorious for her desire to shock.

But as she nears 50, she has become a puritanical parent who is a disciplinarian with her children, nine-year-old Lola and Rocco, four.

Madonna, married to film director Guy Ritchie, says she has banned television and punishes her daughter's messiness by confiscating her clothes.

"I'm a disciplinarian. Guy's the spoiler," she says in an interview with Harpers & Queen magazine.

"When Daddy gets home, they're going to get chocolate. I'm more practical; I worry about their teeth and make sure they're getting their schoolwork done. I'm very schedlotuled, I make lists."

The woman who made her name as a mass media idol, continues: "My kids don't watch TV. We have televisions but they're not hooked up to anything but movies.

"TV is trash. I was raised without it. We don't have magazines or newspapers in the house either."

Ritchie, who directed Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch, treats the children to pizza and bike rides. "Guy is into doing wild stuff outside, taking them out on bikes," she says.

"He's good cop, I'm bad cop. The kids watch movies every Sunday, so if they're naughty, they get their movie taken away. If they're a little naughty, then no stories before bed."

But 47- year- old Madonna is strictest of all about Lourdes's clothes.

"My daughter has a problem picking things up in her room, so if you leave your clothes on the floor, they're gone when you come home," she explains.

Bad behaviour is repaid by chores. "Lola has to earn all her clothes back by being tidy, making her bed, hanging up her clothes," she says.

As for the family diet: "It's whole grains, eating things by season, staying away from food that's been bioengineered in some way.

"[Our cook] prepares food like sushi or salmon. And vegetables. We don't eat any dairy here."

The singer also reveals how her social life is virtually non-existent. The daily routine means getting up at 7.30am, seeing the children off to school, a morning in the office, lunchtime exercising, then more work in the afternoon. Dinner is at 9.30pm, after Ritchie comes home.

"We eat late, we go to bed late, I get up early," she says. "I don't see a of my girlfriends. When you have a husband, two kids and a job, you don't go out that much." Madonna, who has a new single, Hung Up, out on 14 November, also talks about her love for London.

"I never thought I'd settle," she says. "I quite disliked the place for a while. When I was just starting out, the press was terrible to me. Then I met my husband. I realised that, if I didn't live here, I wouldn't get to see him very much. I feel freer here."
