As I recover from long days spent dealing with unions and intersections of differing data sets, I find great solace and comfort in Courage, the Cowardly Dog, a very curious and delightful cartoon on good old Cartoon Network that must be seen and heard to be believed.
The animation is beautiful - principal animation against photographic backgrounds that yield a hyperreal haunting beauty. But topping it is the sound design, from the voices to the music which ranges from classical orchestral pieces to original music that is as strange and beautiful as the animation. |

new york elw 1999 It's hard to believe that these recordings were done 3-3.5 years ago. There's nothing like a sunny day spent with friends crammed into cars driving out of the great city to a small airport on long island with power toys, recording equipment, pedals, and a full pack of lucky strikes. (idlewild mk1 and idlewild mk0). Nor is there anything quite like spending a brilliant winter solstice night under the brightest full moon in decades in NYC's Murray Hill neighborhood with a beautiful friend, a minidisc recorder, a full pack of lucky strikes, and an urge to whistle. (tuscany court ih'ladriel). Garbage trucks and energy, followed by a night of drinking and a hyper day of shopping. I miss the East sometimes.

We'll Meet Again And if anything good came out of today, it's that I now own a copy of Johnny Cash's new The Man Comes Around album. And there's one particular standout - We'll Meet Again, a song many will recognize as being the closer for the movie Dr. Strangelove. This song is just killing me right now. We'll meet again,
This is for you, Red. |

Snow and Summary Big lovely flakes are falling outside, and it's really beautiful from up here. It's been an odd week, and we're only two days into it. It would have been my Grandpa's birthday on Monday, and I went out to see my Grandma and ended up spending the night at her house. I slept in a room that my Grandpa finished when my dad had to move back home after my mother died. The cycle was strange. I was also given a wooden plaque of sorts that was made out of my Dad's first wedding invitation. It gives me two good things that I've never had before: a picture of my dad with a mustache, and a picture of my real mom who was very pretty (they were both in their early twenties in the photo. And I've never seen my dad with a mustache. Priceless).
The snow is getting heavier. I doubt this storm will bring any real accumulation, and ski season is still a couple of weeks off yet. But this is already a better start than last year - hopefully the snow really picks up (especially in the mountains) in November. And I've been waiting to see what a snowstorm would look like from up here. |
