The Light of Day

OMG a whole week!

This is an unusually long time for me to go without posting. There is no tangible reason for this, except that it’s like that Byrds song, which was stolen from Pete Seeger, who plagiarized it from the Bible (and now I’m “stealin’ it back”, to steal plagiarize copy borrow a phrase from Bono, who, like me, couldn’t technically “steal back” Helter Skelter, because he’s not technically a Beatle, just like I can’t “steal back” a Bible verse because I’m technically not God): a time to read, a time to post, a time to refrain from posting… stuff… or however it goes.

Yeah, the punchline was less funny than the rest of the paragraph.

Here’s 11 seconds of eye candy to appease the hordes of psychotic fans thrusting their bodies against the outer walls of my cyberatlantis: my first test of the “partial rotoscoping” method I’m developing for my feature:

Yes, it’s creepy. I did it in a few hours. It’s test #1. The ideas are an iceberg, and you’re looking at the first square inch to pop out of the top of the water.

P.S. - I just went to the open mic at Bodhi’s downstairs, and apparently they’re discontinuing it.  So tonight was the big finale.  I wasn’t in the mood to do any any of my own songs (moratorium on the O-word still in effect), not that I usually am.  So figuring I was only gonna do one song, What Do You Want From Life by the Tubes felt like a good one.  Then since I was kind of green-lighted to do a couple more — i.e. Dan, the guy who hosts it, wasn’t walking back up to the, er, “stage” — I followed it with A Day in the Life, and then Comfortably Numb.  (I should YouTube all three of them.)  I’d say if you don’t know who either of those last two are by, get professional help, but I’ve mellowed with age.  Google them or something.  Anyway, it’s a little sad that it’s over, but c’est la life.
