I can only endure short spurts of Primus. Les Claypool is a great bassist, but Primus can drive me completely insane.

Warren Zevon- Poor Poor Pitiful Me
Pink Floyd- One Of These Days
ELO- Eldorado
David Bowie- Drive In Saturday
Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention- Who Needs the Peace Corps?
Graham Nash- Chicago
Neil Young- After the Gold Rush (live)
Jackson Browne- The Load Out/Stay
The Mountain Goats- International Small Arms Traffic…

I liked that too. It was so strange, that there were restaurants open 24 hours a day, with televisions set on that channel, so they could always watch what Truman was up to. Even though his life was mundane, they were transfixed. And there was the man in the bathtub with his TV hoisted up, and the cops at the police…

I watched The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Roger Ebert described it as the first true horror film. I was completely absorbed into the film, and couldn't take my eyes off of the screen. I always love silent film acting, but these actors were phenomenal. And the sets were off the chain; a mix between Dr. Seuss and Tim…

My blood clot is never going away and it looks like I probably formed a new one in my right ass. Fuck this shit.

This is a long one, but a good one. A moth walks into a podiatrist's office, and he says "doc, I've got a lot of problems. My daughter was in this horrible accident, and I don't know if she'll ever walk again. And my son? I just don't like him. He does nothing with his life, and there's nothing about him I can in any…

Man, I am so sorry. That's horrible. I'd upvote you, but there's so much sadness in what you wrote.

Really? I thought she was very powerful in the third season when she found out that she was in the Joy Book and was coming to terms with what an evil man her father really was. I did love Ginnifer Goodwin and Jeanne Tripplehorn too, though. All of them were great. So was the temporary fourth sister-wife. I just didn't…

Ugh, that sounds horrible. Are you better now, from all of the injuries? I was on insanely high dosages of morphine from 2003-2010, and even higher dosages of fentanyl from 2005-2010 for RSD from a botched heart surgery. When I finally got off of them, the withdrawals were miserable, but like you, I had no…

She and Laura Dern seem like they were born to play roles in David Lynch productions. (Watts as well.) I love those ladies so much.

Don't forget Isabella Rossellini! (Or are they not on speaking terms since they broke up back in the 1990s?)

She does! She's really beautiful in this completely strange way, too. I think it's the eyes.

The Straight Story…

She was fantastic on Big Love. Even when the show went off the rails, she was still good. I thought that she and Chloe Sevigny were the MVPs of that cast.

I never knew that. I always loved the movie on its own merit, but that just gives it another layer of awesomeness.

It's a Buddy Holly song that has been covered by everyone from the Stones to the Dead.

My junkie uncle stole morphine from my purse once and blamed it on the cat. (Seriously.) As much as I can like Nick, that beating was deserved for that scene alone.

That would have given me a reason to tune into the Emmys for once, for sure.

I thought that the former prostitute that Broomfield let sort of "take over" was such an interesting woman. She had all of the connections to people on the street, so I don't think he would have had a lot of that footage if it hadn't been for her. And yes, the racism! I found it especially telling when that attorney…

Well, they do kind of white-wash the ending of Hamlet with The Lion King. Simba lives and takes over with Nala by his side, while Hamlet dies and Ophelia dies, likely by her own hand.
