I recall ADULT. telling me they bought a stadium scale smoke machine. They were testing it at home and neighbors called the fire department. This much is true. In my memory, it formerly belonged to Pink Floyd and was used for the egg scene in ‘Alien’.

I used to shoot video at concerts with a camcorder. [Not so much anymore now that everyone has a phone that can.] This clip of ADULT. At the Magic Stick in 2009 is one of my favorites. youtu.be/J4D-wQflxf0?...

Currently watching ‘The Shining’. Winston is transfixed. (Especially Scatman Crothers giving the tour of the kitchen. Also probably Wendy Carlos’ soundtrack.) When a commercial pops up, my skogkatt turns and stares at me for not getting the HBO ad-free package.

*Not everything needs to be a painting or a sculpture or a movie or an opera. Often when I’m reading a comic book or watching a film, I’d rather see the pencils or storyboards. Drawing is the purest expression from idea to physical manifestation.

Winston was a stray before Beverly rescued him as a kitten. He doesn’t meow, he quacks. This leads me to believe me he was raised by ducks in the wild.

The appeal of death is being gone forever. Nothing. Like before you were born. The idea of an afterlife or being a ghost or reincarnated is absolutely horrifying.
