My Baby

This is Whitey, my baby. He's got funky teeth and he's wonderful.

Oh, come on now. Really?

I am a fan of the work of Phil Spector. I own a box set of his sixties recordings. I even like what he did with "Let It Be". I love his extravagance. But I read Be My Baby by Ronnie "Ronette" Spector and the mother is crazy. Not a little crazy, but a lot crazy. Phil Spector was a crazy mother in the sixties and he's even crazier now. And he DID THAT SHIT. You know he did it. Mistrial? Really? Just look at the hair and the answer lies within that big mess 'o crazy.

Ghibli Heaven

I do not consider myself to be an anime freak (how many conventions must one attend before they get that crown?). However, I am a worshiper of Studio Ghibli and master Hayao Miyazaki. Tonight theatres across the nation are screening the 1979 Miyazaki film Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro as part of the Anime Bento film festival. Yep, a 1979 anime playing at an AMC Theatre near you! Although it's cheaper to actually buy this DVD, I'll happily drop $10 a ticket if it means events such as these continue.

My new favorite movie

My new favorite movie is Sakuran. It is directed by the lovely and incredible Mika Ninagawa, my favorite contemporary photographer. It stars the lovely and talented singer, model and actress Anna Tsuchiya. I want to live inside of this gorgeous movie.

A brand new day, a blog of envy and love

Hello friends! I have been very envious of my friends' blogs lately and keep checking them to see if my friends do interesting things. They do indeed sometimes do interesting things. Though I rarely do anything of interest, my envy of their cute blogs has driven me to create my own. I will occasionally post things of interest, but mainly I will post boring ramblings while I am at work.
