an unwelcome devil/ last segment of "Dave Harris Must Die"

Cool pic. "Autumn Leaves" isn't that obscure, however. Ever heard Eva Cassidy's version? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSXYu-3r1S8 *sigh* Her interpretations and arrangements were just so brilliant. I sang this one myself a few years ago in a voice class, with the pianist (brilliant gal) using this, and zero rehearsal: http://www.alibris.com/booksearch?qwork=9582132&m… Even a halfway decent Eva rendition ALWAYS brings the house down. Every time. Guaranteed. Can't really think of how to make that song sound sinister, though... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQIS_Bhpd7U Nah, that wasn't it.

Epic Beard Man

I saw this on YouTube before you even posted anything about it, Pete. All I could think of was Richard Pryor (I think it was on "Wanted: Dead or Alive") saying, "Don't f*** with old men. 'Cuz old men don't bulls*** when they be fightin'.") :) Yeah, Cornrow got exactly what he deserved. Can't remember if it was Daniels or my friend Alexis this past week, asking why I don't just use public transportation in the San Francisco area, since parking is practically impossible. This incident is a good example of why I'll never ride buses up here. There have been several others as well. Of course, all I can find are in Oakland, specifically the Fruitvale station. Still I'm staying off buses in the Bay Area. Screw it. Here's another story with a twist. Vietnam Tom hasn't been the only one to fight back in Oakland. http://www.ktvu.com/news/18758711/detail.html http://articles.sfgate.com/2009-02-21/bay-area/17… Apparently, it's not a good idea to f*** with young guys from the East Coast, either. :)

Puffers' Paradise

I think writers are required to smoke either a cigar or a pipe, aren't they? :) Back in the 80s, I persuaded a boyfriend to switch from cigars to a pipe. Pipe tobacco smells yummy, more like incense. Looked kinda funny on a 30-year-old housepainter, but he enjoyed being perceived as artsy and idiosyncratic (read "odd"), so the pretentious appearance of the thing appealed to his ego. You're lucky Rocio lets you stay in the house with that thing. She could always build you a little shed out back with desk in it, and present it to you for your birthday. After all, writers are supposed to like a lot of privacy, right? It's you she'd be thinking of here, of course. :)

Puffers' Paradise

I tend to smoke when I drink, too. Otherwise, it's maybe a cig every week or two. Yeah, of course California's own special brand of liberal fascism is way on the OTHER end of the scale, with local smoking bans in outside areas like public parks, and inside areas such as one's own apartment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_smoking_bans… It's excessive and nutty. I'm not a fan of indoor cigarette smoke and am in favor of restaurant bans in general, although a completely separate smoking section would be fine with me. An outdoor smoking section would be fine, except for the same issue of smoke wafting in from being too near the building. In public parks and other outdoor areas, I don't have a problem with it. Butt litter is a separate issue, and should be covered under littering statutes. Also, CIGARS are a different issue altogether, AFAIC. Jeezus, they're awful. They deserve their own special category of awfulness, despite being trendy amongst supposedly heterosexual males who like to shove a big ole phallic symbol in their mouths and lip it for a while. Seems to be the balding man's equivalent of a little boy eating a bug to impress upon his friends what a badass he is. Just gross.

The Color and the Fast Notes

Okay, Alize. Thanks for clearing that up. And a terrific coloratura soprano you are, BTW! For the peanut gallery, I think this vid of you from a couple years ago provides a nice illustration of what we're talking about. http://www.youtube.com/user/oprafandadt#p/u/7/dAK… Love your dress in this one! http://www.youtube.com/user/oprafandadt#p/u/5/j-a… Really cute performance, too. :) We'll keep an eye out for you at the Met.

Creepy Old Wannabe Outlaw/Cartoonist Goes To a Rave

Big LOL at the title. I think you owe Cuddle some money, Jay. ;) "Elephant Flipping (PCP & E): Yikearoo. I thought we got rid of PCP in the 80s. "And Kitty Flipping (Ketamine & E)." Never heard of it. Most interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketamine No salvia usage or poppers, huh? Long-term effectors only, I guess. Really educational regarding the different types of music. I had no idea. However... "Songs programmed at 120 BPM create a trance-like effect because that’s the rate of your average heartbeat, and that subliminally recreates the sound unborn babies hear inside the womb." Well, average heart rate is usually said to be 60, so I guess they're counting the S1 sound (lub) and the S2 sound (dub) separately. Regarding the seizures caused by bright lights, yeah, epileptics should DEFINITELY avoid a rave. Had an epileptic friend a few years ago who couldn't even watch that Hunter Thompson movie set in Vegas with me because she could feel the lights starting to set her off. Actually GOING there is totally out of the question for her. "Maybe some jailbait chick just kicked him in the balls for rubbing her ass with a glowstick..." Is THAT what they're calling that, nowadays? ;) Looking up Gabba, I found a new favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7S1OWLB57A Beardyman's channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/beardyman?blend=1&ob=…
