When was the last time you had especially good or bad luck?

Bangs is a Sudanese rapper. This song is dedicated to all the ladies out there who like to go to the movies.* It features the line “Let me pay the money so we can get in.” My friend Smith showed it to me.

*Especially you, girl.

I feel like you should watch these videos.

Not sure what these dudes are trying to get this poor mule to do, but something tells me it doesn’t like water. Or naked dudes.

I got this wonderful book for Christmas from my dear mother. It is Volume 2 of the Mendocino Papers. It is written by Bruce Anderson and Mark Scaramella, the two best writers dealing with the goings-on of Mendocino County for sure. You may have read these news features previously as they ran in the Anderson Valley Advertiser.

Truthfully, the ones that I recognized were the ones I am happiest to own in book form. The series of articles regarding the tradition of arson fires in Ft. Bragg definitely needs to be optioned for an amazing screenplay. The characters are unforgettable. The Coen Brothers would have a field day with it. The story is a combination of ‘Blood Simple’ ruthlessness and ‘Raising Arizona’ dunderheadedness.

‘The Great Ft. Bragg Witch Hunt’ is also very enlightening…in a dark ages sort of a way. It is about some women that ran a daycare facility until they were accused of ritual satanic abuse and run the hell out of town. [Read more →]

I’ve been on a documentary kick lately, thanks to Netflix. Over the weekend I watched Girl 27. It’s about Patricia Douglas, who was a dancer at MGM in the 30’s. She was raped at an MGM stag party by a high power executive who was never even charged for this crime. The documentary gives you a different look at MGM. Usually when I watch anything about those days, actors reminisce happily about their lives on the MGM set. This documentary shows you what it may have been like if you were a chorus girl in one of the many musicals produced in that era.

What happens in Vegas?

I can’t ever, ever, recall having car sickness and/or the stomach flu until this past weekend.  We were an hour into our trip when I made my friend pull off immediately into a shopping center because staying in the car would have been horrible.  Luckily, LA also goes on for pretty much ever, so our stop included a Target, where I could try to find some medcine to make the next 5 hours go by without further incidences.  Unluckily, none of us had ever really had car sickness/stomach flu so we spent some time in the pharmacy aisle to figure out which sort of pill would make it bearable.  All I could remember while looking at the meds was the Pepto-Bismol song, which covered most of my problems.  However, Pepto is pretty big on being in liquid form, which isn’t great for the car.  There was a new product called Pepto-Bismol InstaCool on the shelf though.  Chewable tablets in a bottle that promised to have the same effect as the liquid, and at that I was sold.
