Vincent Price Weekend Extravaganza!

Dang gone

Look who left the cake in the rain

I don't think he can take it
cuz it took so long to fake it
and he'll blame anyone but himself for anything every day of his fucking life.

All Veterans

Armistice Day is commemorated every year on 11 November to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France at 5:45 am, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War I, which took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918. But, according to Thomas R. Gowenlock, an intelligence officer with the US First Division, shelling from both sides continued for the rest of the day, only ending at nightfall.^[1][2] The armistice initially expired after a period of 36 days. A formal peace agreement was only reached when the Treaty of Versailles was signed the following year

Ceasefire.
I received a snotty reply on Twitter from an Australian on Veterans Day.
It was from something I tweeted in early December 2017.
Walter Tremayne-- "But if you don't have wars you don't get veterans."
Dare to dream, Walter, dare to dream.

Meanwhile, Trump is a weak asshole trying to dismantle the allegiance we have with Europe.

first snow

We are having the first snow of the year in these here parts.
It's nice to know nature doesn't give a fig about the ominous crap going on with the dictator president and complicit republican party in my country.  Currently, the guilty are trying to find a way to stop the investigation on themselves and relinquishing passes on Jim Acosta, one of our prestigious journalists.  The level of danger keeps mounting.  I find myself babysitting Twitter a little more once again.  I managed to shut it down for the night, but I kept going back to my phone, but not to social media.  A poem kept running through my head so I had to document it.  Here's the poem I'm working on:

American Agrimony

Leaves
I don't know you or agrimony
Do I fit the profile?
Extract, essence
Surprised by my cinquefoil roots
So, so many roses
Somewhere on the sad clown spectrum
Yet not occult
Someday roaming for barren strawberries
Laughing over the hill

Halfway home we're there

First do no harm
Halfway there we're home.

A case of the Midterms

It is just that we should be grateful,
not only to those with whose views
we may agree, but also to those who
have expressed more superficial
views; for these also contributed
something, by developing before us
the power of thought

-Aristotle

Curated Oasis

So happenstance (algorithm) brought me here and apparently other people too.  The music and the comment section must be curated in my blog to offer an oasis from the negativity on the net from this time in Two thousand eighteen.

Until next year

Goooodnicht!

Happy Halloween!!!!

For mad scientists who keep brains in jars, here’s a tip: why not add a slice of lemon to each jar, for freshness?

Just needs a slice of lemon

Thing I found

Spotted this in an old Introduction to AV for Technical Assistants my coworker unearthed from the library collection.

I was way into Magic Lanterns back in aught-nine, I posted about it here.

Divine

things in me head again

This is from Kristin Hersh's new album Possible Dust Clouds.  I don't think this is even my favorite song on album, but it's stuck in my head.  Only I'm singing "no shade in shadow" like the Psychedelic Furs front man lounge singer style.  Yeah, I'm already riffing on it, it's that good!  Enjoy!



Maybe this is my favorite song.

Burn! Burn! Burn!

via GIPHY

This is from the RiffTrax version of City of the Dead, aka Horror Hotel.  You all really need to see it, it's my favorite to date.

Christopher Lee as a Professor of Mumbo-ology.
"It's Hammer Horror time!"

Other favorites:
"Kick ass Dina Shore mixed road tape"
"Sailed the ocean blue"
"Not everyone respects my degree in mumbo-ology"

Things in my head this morning

I sang this over and over on my way to work, trying to do my best Kate Bush

I wondered if Tina Turner and Jon Bon Jovi had the same hair.

Pretty much!

I keep thinking "from the rooter to the tooter!" 
I currently have all the indigestion symptoms, seriously, from the rooter to the tooter.

My hair right now

Is Bonnie Franklin going on Schneider

Scheider is disgusting!  I don't even remember anything about One Day at a Time except the fact that Schneider disgusted me.  Oh, how I long for those days when only Schneider was disgusting.  One day at a Tiii-hIIIiime!
