huey lewis and the news

i did some karaoke tonight, 3 songs. the first was 'heart of rock and roll' by huey lewis and the news. i recall when i was young how many cities were mentioned in it, but i am still not sure what 'liberty town' is. seemed appropriate on some level to do a song by this band when huey was in the movie 'duets', about karaoke. the other two songs i did were 'tainted love' by soft cell, and 'hallelujah' by rufus wainwright. i am familiar with how leonard cohen wrote it, and the rufus version was part of the first 'shrek' movie, on the soundtrack. this was a new karaoke venue for me, needing to replace the now-closed wild tymes. sparse crowd at first, but i was told it was due to the weather. it started out raining but by the time i left the bar i saw all of the snow that had fallen. when the roads get bad i tell myself it is best to stay off the interstates and stick with roads with traffic lights. i am going slower and it is easier to stop when i need to.
   there was another appointment, before midday. but i am still not sure how it is going to help get me back to work. i am still waiting to hear the results of two interviews last week. i got another appointment scheduled for two weeks from now, i had to ask if it was the earliest one available. some mention of needing a day off each week to get caught up on paperwork. there was a small job fair happening onsite, but the companies present didn't have jobs in my field. after the appointment i got a box of cereal at a family dollar store, knowing i would likely run out before my typical weekly grocery shopping day this weekend. and i took a walk around the neighborhood after that. it yielded some coins, 1 dime and 6 pennies. those went into my change bank of course. i also picked up a Canadian penny, but i will likely just find a donation jar somewhere to put it in such as at a taco bell.
