  • Wake Up Call

    They have been working on the streets, digging them up. The Don’t Park signs were up all weekend but people still parked and the street is still full of cars this AM. Instead of having the cars towed, the street workers are using this HUGE bulldozer-mounted jackhammer, hammering it on the steel plates that were…

  • Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody Old School Computer Remix at Youtube

    The link doesn’t want to say what this is but it’s “Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody Old School Computer Remix” with an HP ScanJet 3C supplying the vocals. No effects or sampling. Awesome. Seriously, I’m dumbfound. The end is perfection.

  • The Invention of Hugo Cabret

    Filed under Silly Things. The perfect music for a book store stride? White Stripes’ Cannon. Pop in the ear buds and walk. Then the song ends but it’s all right because you’re now in the back of store looking for the book with at least a modicum of text that your artistic kid might possibly…

  • Boy Scouts Bring to Mind “Cabaret”

    I thought this kind of bizarre, Boy Scouts (well, an affiliate) being trained to confront terrorists, run down illegal immigrants and raid marijuana fields, using kids as young as 13 and 1/2. A competition is described where “looking at 9/11 and what a Middle Eastern terrorist would be like” and authenticity being their goal, a…

  • My 11 year old’s version of a science experiment

    There is glass full of green goo on H.o.p.’s desk. He calls it “an experiment”. A bendie straw is stuck in it. And I think to myself that the next time he brings me a glass of chocolate milk as a nice surprise, I might want to think twice before drinking it. (P.S. I allowed…

  • Alice’s Restaurant

    Watched “Alice’s Restaurant” the other night. I was too young to see the movie when it came out and then my general disaffection with hippydom (which mutated into vapid discodom) combined with having heard the film wasn’t very good, meant its falling off my radar. I’ve also read some reviews of the movie and a…
