Du-Du-Du Dun! Du-Du-Du DUN! Du-Du-Du-Du Dun!

A couple of months back, I was in a show at the "Thrust Theater" shown above. It was a lot of fun. There were nine of us performing for about 400 to 425 of our closest friends and family members. You can watch it now. Special thanks to James for the recording and to Anthony for digitizing it, to Jason and Joel for putting the show together, to all the people who paid real cash money to come see us.

So The Trees Got Tired And Laid On The Ground

So, my nemesis has returned.

Ice.

Fucking. Ice.

There will be no show at Othello's tonight. There will most likely be no electricity (or running water) at my house tonight. There's a live power line draped across the only street leading to or from my house. My yard is littered with branches and broken trees. It's like a damn arboreal charnel house. The picture above is of a mulberry tree that has stood in that yard for as long as I can remember. Each summer it rained down tasty mulberries for anyone passing by, and now it has toppled over, uprooted under the weight of frozen branches.

I hate you, Ice. I hate you so very fucking much.

Here We Go Again

Some days I think, "surely racism, Hitler and crack aren't funny," and then I think "no, that's just crazy. Of course Hitler is funny, and so is mental illness." Hitler and Crack!

I'm not sure how you say the title of this post, but it means "And keep walking" in Japanese. At least that's what it means according to the liner notes from Cocco's new album "きらきら." If anyone can supply me with a transliteration of the kanji I would be most grateful. Anyway, here's the video from the second day of the Tokyo trip. This video includes the footage from the Tokyo Game Expo, which was a disorienting mélange of flashing lights, people shouting and hot girls in ridiculous costumes. If you get motion sickness from watching this... good. You're supposed to.
