The fate of Goody MacGowan.

Took these pictures a while ago, never got to post them, and lord knows I need to show off my sewing and mad slipcovering skills.

Before, the kitchen witch wore a late '90s fashion that clashed with the current color scheme of the kitchen and dining room.




After, she still doesn't really match the color scheme, but it was the only blue I had, and there is blue and yellow involved in the wallpaper. Really.




At last, Goody takes flight for kitchen witchery.

Music that makes me say "OMG!"

Dar Williams and Ani DiFranco remade Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb.

I really do not need to say any more.

Except maybe that I am very, very happy with the remake. Then again, I also like Scissor Sisters' version of the song and I also like Ani DiFranco and Jackie Chan's version of Unforgettable, so I'm, y'know, strange.

Where Harvey Keitel goes to eat.



(Because pictures are not always worth 1,000 words, this was the slogan my heatstroke came up with the other day:
"Do you like your pizza with a little extra acid? Are you looking for something quick to eat after whacking the capo of a brugad? Then come in to the Pizza Cleaners."

Of course all take-out orders are delivered by little girls who are pissed off and have guns on them, but now I'm creating a world where The Professional permeates reality, and until I hear Shape of My Heart playing from anywhere other than my computer, I will know this is an impossibility.)

I *heart* Foamy

I never realized that Ill Will Press, makers of Eye Stigmata, had more content on their site. I just heard Tech-Support on K-Rock, and having been on both side of the phone, I can only laugh at this.

In other news, I had to cut away a load of dead hedging because the horticultural oil I treated the euonymus scale with can only do so much during hatching season. I guess I can treat them again, if there's anything left. Po' hedges.

Having just blown my last $5 on Anthony Daniels, I ceased raking and started writing.

Surprisingly, I managed to remember that Arrested Development was on tonight, and so that is why I am sitting at my desk. In a few minutes, I'll be running down the stairs because I forgot to set up the tape for Coffee & Cigarettes, which starts at 9:35 on Sundance. Tom Waits is in the movie, and that is why I must see it.

The commercials during Arrested Development are weird tonight. I count 5 billion spiders and one "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the chicken."

That last one brings to mind visions far odder than those in the commercial itself, but we're dealing with ad execs that consider "pin-ups" in a firehouse to be other firemen. The Maxwell House commercial where they bastardize Madnesseses Our House? Tragic. Pin-ups are scantily clad women (or I guess men, y'know, whatever)...never forget that. *sniffle*
