When You Wake Up Feeling Old

September 10, 2008

JUST ABOUT THERE: The house is just about done, so I'm holding off on showing "finished product" pictures just yet. I can show you this much, though: "Here's how I picked the final color." Photo by Arlie Carstens, Echo Park, Calif.- - - -A GREAT LISTEN: "Ed Gavagan: Drowning On Sullivan Street"(From Jess, who knows a good thing when he hears it.)- - - - THE KIND OF STUFF THAT MAKES MY DAY ON SO MANY LEVELS: Field Notes in London. Wow. Wind in the sails.- - - -GET RIGHT WITH BARACK: Wilco backs Obama, and man, we're right there with 'em. I mean, musically-speaking, who the fuck's coming out for McCain? Fuckin' Toby Keith and Trace Atkins and shit? Go figure. Give me a break. Give the country a break.We've got a chance to get America back on the right track. Let's not fuck this one up this time around.- - - -SEEN, WITH OUR OWN EYES: Saw this one over at ever-impressive Grain Edit and was floored with the simplicity, color and just overall greatness. Don't know what it's for, and don't care.- - - -RECOMMENDED, FOR A LAUGH, ETC: Heckler by Jamie Kennedy. Basically, Jamie Kennedy goes after the phenomena of "Heckling" at a comedy club, and that spins off into critics, and their harsh words. He sits down with them one on one, for some of the most uncomfortable interactions I've seen in a long, long time. Sure, the average critic is some geek with a chip on his shoulder, hiding behind a blog surname, but to see them one-on-one with the actual person they slammed so harshly, well, it's pretty fascinating. And weird. Then again, Jamie Kennedy ain't really known for his contribution to the silver screen or anything, and, well, the world keeps on spinning. Recommended.- - - -RETRO DESK, NEW LIFE: "Bear" from Orange Coat web design down there in South Carolina is using old tankers in his office, and man, that is just great. Just the lift we needed. Thanks, man. Nice looking space, too.
