Tree Branches in the Evening (1)

I was very busy for a while. Then I was very tired. This was followed by being kinda sick. Now, tomorrow morning I'm hopping on a plane to spend a few days in southern California on work-related stuff....

Anyway, maybe I'll blog a bit from California. In the meantime...

Hmm...

Shrink Rap

It has become apparent to me that it's about time for the establishment of some sort of officially recognized hierarchy in the world of quacks. Read (and watch!) in wonder and awe as Scientology blames Al-Qaeda terrorism on psychiatry:

Chairman of CCHR Florida [a "Scientology front group"] Dave Figueroa claims that terrorism is inextricably linked to psychiatry. As he puts it: “behind those individual acts of mayhem you find psychiatrists, you find psychologists and their drugs." In bin Laden’s case it was Zawahiri: “that ideology of terror was coming from bin Laden who was influenced by a psychiatrist and that really is the bottom line."

I can't wait for the Tom Cruise docudrama...

Nunchaku!

Words cannot express how utterly envious I am of the guy in this video:


Nothing says "attitude" like nunchaku!

By the River

A little sick and very tired these days. A couple of cell phone pics...




I suppose the argument could be made that standing around in the rain smoking cigarettes and snapping pics on one's cell phone might play some small part in causing one to be "a little sick"...

Newsreading Tip

When you're reading a news story with a headline like 'Atlantis' spotted on ocean floor off Africa, if the story includes a picture of Patrick Duffy (The Man from Atlantis), there's a distinct possibility that the "facts" of the story are not to be trusted.

Ship

Hotel

Walking on Air

It's harder than it looks...

Footprints

"The Beartles"

In Passing...

A couple of genuine rock 'n' roll luminaries died recently...

It's pretty hard to find a video of The Stooges that features Ron Asheton, their original guitar (and later bass) player. Iggy's a bit of a camera hog...



[Asheton's work with Destroy All Monsters also comes with Kyklops' highest recommendation.]

Lux Interior also died recently. Being the lead singer of The Cramps, he was always at the front of the stage.



"I've got 96 tears and 96 eyes" (from "Human Fly"): yeah!

Strawberry Letter 23

Since hearing this song a couple of weeks ago (for the first time in a long time), it's been stuck in my head. I mean, it's a great tune and all, but make it go away! Maybe if I do some funky Ringu-type hex (i.e. get someone else to listen to it), my brain can resume its regular background noise of death metal and stuff...

Did you listen? Did you? You have to listen...

Yuck

As a brief follow-up to some comments I made a couple of weeks ago about inept users of Google, I give you:

I WASH MY MOTHER FUCK

Yeah, caps and all... Whatever, dude...
