if you watch carefully, you can see tom waits' vocal cords turning into solid scar tissue as he forces his voice to sound like that. this is an old recording; I'm sure nowadays he couldn't sing any other way. Like when your momma told you to stop making that fool face or it would get stuck just like that.



man this is a good song.

Last weekend, I saw this movie:



As you can tell from the picture, It was a slow paced, moody piece that really gave the actors room to practice their craft.

I was introduced to the first of these movies after a $1.50 VHS clearance splurge, and this new addition to the 'storyline' really helped tie up all the loose ends. For example: shipping containers can hold many many MANY more 'super zombies' than you would have ever imagined. Its like clowns in a phone booth with those things.

And for those of you interested in getting into the cinematic make-up trade, throw away that make-up kit and get yourself a computer. Any reasonably close shot of our super-powered, kurkri-wielding heroine sported over-done computer smoothing of her face.

Great movie. Great movie.

More guests, more wine, and some incidental pictures.

I usually try to avoid posting the newest horrific political story here, especially because i end up getting embarrassed with my anger and taking them down, but here is an important one.



A blogger read this chart as meaning that 44 of our senators 'hate the Constitution and basic civil rights'. I would say that those senators certainly disqualified themselves from ever holding a government job of any type again, but not because they hate the constitution. They don't hate it, they just think it's unnecessary.

nice to have a flash handy...
