Say Hi To The Bad Guy

The trailer for my beloved Jack Stehlin's new theatrical production Titus Redux, also starring Brenda Strong (Desperate Housewives) at the Kirk Douglas Theater in Los Angeles... right now!



Somebody go see it and tell me how it is!

Is Feeling The Burn

Most days I grab a cup of coffee at the Starbucks drive-thru on my way to work. And that's really about it. I don't drink any more during the day or night, and I don't drink coffee hardly at all on my days off. I don't drink soda (unless offered) so I like to think I am not overdoing it in the caffeine consumption, but I honestly don't know what has prompted these two vicious attacks on my guts these last two days.

Yesterday I had a cup of iced coffee, unsweetened, with non-fat milk, and an orange before I went into work. About a half hour later my stomach tied up into cramps but only lasted about ten minutes before I chalked it up to the acid from the oranges. Today I decided to forgo the orange and get the same grande cup of iced coffee. Pretty much what I get every day during the summer months.

Almost an hour later I had the same exact attack, but stronger.... so much stronger. Like a gas attack times twenty to the tenth power and then cubed, or something like that. I was alone back in the warehouse so nobody knew what was going on, but I was doubled over yelling and crying and finally managed to get to the phone and call Joe, who had my car today because he was heading over to Portsmouth at one o'clock to meet with friends for the fantasy football draft. I only live about 4 1/2 miles from my store so by the time Joe got there to get me the spasms had mostly stopped but it was still difficult to walk and it felt as if I had been punched hard in the gut, so I came home.

Now having chewed two of Joe's Gas Gone tablets and three Tylenols I am at least in a sitting position without screaming. So what is it? Am I having a bad reaction to coffee all of a sudden? I like to think that I'm not drinking... that much to have something like that devour me from the inside. I hate missing work though. I hate leaving the crew missing one soldier on a busy Sunday afternoon, but honestly, as tender as I still am I don't know what good I could have done. And going to the doctor would probably result in a lot of quacky Doc-N-The-Box advise since my general practitioner doesn't work the Sabbath (like most I assume). But Joe just called from Portsmouth to check up on me (I insisted he go because I really am feeling better than I did before) and I don't feel like there's any kind of emergency, but usually it's an emergency that would keep me from working in the first place, because I always need the money. Just, it was so weird. That pain was, as the kids say, off the hook. But I'm better now. At least, for the moment. No more coffee for me for awhile. We shall wait and see.

I hope my boss isn't expecting a doctor's note. Ironically I may wind up going out to Norfolk General anyway because my friend Mike's elderly father is in the hospital and, well, it doesn't look good. Joe had a flash that maybe I was feeling "sympathy pains" for Mike's father because of his failing liver and kidneys at that very moment, and boy, not that I typically believe in those sort of things but wow that would be a serious trip.

Speaking of trips, the "PM" part of the Tylenol PM is finally kicking in and I better go lay down before I find some heavy machinery to operate.

I Am Curious Giallo

So they have gone and made a game out of the movie The Human Centipede. If anybody wants to know why I was a half an hour late picking up Joe from work last night, click the link.

I am, however, more excited about the upcoming Criterion DVD of House, the 1977 Nobuhiko Obayashi freak-out that never saw an official American release, yet as years as a bootleg and late-night television viewings has probably influenced everyone from Sam Raimi to Takashi Miike with its own inexplicable hodgepodge of horror, German expressionist thriller, Italian crime drama and good ol' American Tex Avery-style animated lunacy. Inspired from a story idea by Nobuhiko's young daughter, it involves a group of perpetually cheerful teenage girls with names like Gorgeous (the pretty one), Melody (the piano player) and Fantasy (the dreamer) who come to visit Gorgeous' aunt and so many strange things begin to happen it sets all future standards in Japanese cinematic high-weirdness.

House will be released on DVD and Blu-Ray in October. I was thinking about ordering it through work but I'm more and more tempted to place it here, because you get a pretty swell T-shirt as a bonus.

Maybe He IS Crazy

This new Ceelo song seems to be making the rounds tonight on all of my friends' Facebook pages, so I thought I'd spread the virus along the Bloggerverse, or whomever is left I suppose. Apparently an official video will be made for this, but I admit I kind of hope that they stick with this version instead.

She Shines!

Gots me a new modem after getting kicked offline during the thunderstorm the other night, so on with boring you all to tears. And exhausting myself with work and it's strange new trend in us giving away money that we apparently don't have.

In the last few weeks we have made less money in sales, but our backback ratio has been through the flippin' roof, with people dropping off enormous box-loads, sometimes trash bags, filled with CDs and DVDs to sell back, all for money. And all desperate and anxious and testy about it too. Some days I process about 500 pieces, and not only to I have to ring them all up but I have to type them all out to the police department the next morning, and we don't have the man-power to bag and tag them as they come in, nor a place to put them, considering that this is what we have been averaging a day. Either the economy is killing them out there, or people really are dumping their stuff onto hard drives and getting rid of the physical element. It's wearing a lot of us down, not just the process but the sight of people coming through the door no longer with small bags of DVDs to sell, but whole families lugging tubs and crates on rollers, standing in line behind each other, and me not being able to pee for hours.

Are all of you getting rod of your DVD collections as well? And your CDs too? I mean this has been going on for awhile, but never to this extreme, like it's been in the last few weeks. And it was all people like this one girl today who was crying for every cent she could get on her DVDs because she needed money to buy her asthma inhaler at the pharmacy today.

Are we getting this desperate, people? And furthermore, will I have bladder problems when I'm older processing it all?

Chokehold

So hot at work, even with the air conditioner on, I tear off my shirt and toss it straight into the washer as soon as I walk through my door at the end of the day. And what a long, nutty week it's going to be, now that we have finally come up with a plan to get the WEA catalog back into the store again: Instead of all CDs $9.99, the new signs will say "ALL CDS AS LOW AS $9.99" or something like that, which means we can finally start selling the new Tom Petty and Trey Songz and Deftones and Michael Buble and Straight No Chaser and Avenged Sevenfold and bloody hell whatever the kids are listening to these days. This requires me to come into work at 7am and start re-pricing everything, and I know people are gonna raise a stink over this. But then again they complained that we didn't have anything new in the store anymore, so at least we'll have that again, roit? The other two price points will be $12.99 and $14.99 so it's not like they have to pay the old $18.99 for everything anymore. Just that WEA sells their stuff for $11 per unit so we can't sell it retail for $9.99 -- WE ARE NOT WALMART. We don't have loss-leaders. But at least people shouldn't complain about our used prices being so high anymore either.

Gotta force myself to go to bed. Damn I just wish my head didn't hurt so much.

Is It Live Or Memorex?

BWAH! I used to work with this girl at Music Man back in the 80's.



I am currently endeavoring to catalog all of the movies I own, which will undoubtedly cripple me over time. Right now I am cataloging alphabetically, so I am currently in the A-H zone. Predicting total breakdown by the R's and S's, although the B's have been pretty harrowing I must admit.

Dirty Pretty Things

Don't think my rickety ride will make it. Anybody wanna drive my happy ass seven hours to Asheville?

And a customer at work just got me interested in The Octopus Project -- and I am particularly fond of this video, as it reminds me of when I lived near the air force base and would see these kinds of people milling about at the air shows.

Phelps "Catfish" Collins, 1944-2010

The older and less flamboyant brother of Bootsy still knew how to hit it and quit it. Go out and buy America Eats Its Young and blast the hell outta that muthasucka. Or check him out here in Paris 1971 with the J.B.'s as the Godfather gives him some stage. RIP Catfish.

Between Orchids Lilies Blind Eyes And Cricket

For the last several weeks (months?) I have had this incredible nostalgic urge to go back to Hilton Head Island again before the summer is finished. To be able to ride a bike through Harbourtown and see how much has changed since I was last there in the early 1980s. But the more I think about it the more I realize that I don't miss Hilton Head so much as I miss Hilton Head in the early 80's, and sadly I don't think I can ever go back to that place where I could hang out at the water park and play Donkey Kong while "Somebody's Baby" by Jackson Browne plays over the piped-in radio and then slide down the flume without my boobies falling out of my bathing suit because they were still mere D cups back then (okay, they only fell out a few times).

I suppose I'm more nostalgic for a place and time rather than just a place. Although I suppose the great thing about the present is that there is always a chance to go there and conjure up new memories to be nostalgic about in the future. Gad, now depressing.

All The Fun In The World

Alright I'll lay off the video clips, I promise, but this was kind of a big deal for me about eight years ago when I was trying to get a hold of this music video by the early 80's New Orleans local band The Backbeats, which featured Paul Sanchez and drummer Fred LeBlanc, who would later go on to form Cowboy Mouth, and Vance DeGeneres (Ellen's brother). But most notably this video was directed by a young film school student named Steve Soderbergh.



An online friend of mine had gone to college with Larry Blake, who is Soderbergh's long-time sound editor, and gave me his contact information in order to see if this video was or will ever be available to the public. Larry is extremely nice and personable and we exchanged many lovely conversations, and he told me that they had only just ran across this old video in their library, but I guess they never got around to releasing it. Keep in mind that this was before the era of youtube, and now here it is, finally online. Can I get a "Mmmmmmm VANCE!"? Hubba hubba!

Things We Lost In The Flood

I just finished watching The Phenix City Story which starred Richard Kiley, whom Joe and I were trying hard to remember what we had seen him in before. After checking the IMDB I discovered that not only was he in Pickup On South Street, one of my favorite Samuel Fuller films, but I first came to know him as the pilot from the film adaptation of The Little Prince. Turns out Riley's quite the warbler, having won the Tony for originating the role in Man Of La Mancha on the Broadway stage.



Mother of God, how I cried and cried during this scene with Riley and the little boy. It's funny though, because I saw this movie in the theater with my 5th grade class and my best friend Andrea bawled and wailed during the scene where Gene Wilder was sitting in the wheat field, which I thought was one of the funniest scenes in the whole movie, so I'm cackling and she's howling, and that's all I can think about whenever I watch this picture. Except when I cry during the death of the prince. Yeah, I'm a sucker.

Monsters Ball

I was singing this song all day at work today, much to the confusion of my fellow associates:

Sports bra, sports bra
Lifts and separates
Sports bra, sports bra
Baby don't jiggle around
Wear it all over towwwwn...



Although I think the thing about this skit that still makes me laugh the hardest after all these years is whenever Kid Jersey would say "Thank you!" at the end of every song. I mean, laughing until I wheeze from being this close to death. WHY DOES THAT MAKE ME LAUGH SO HARD? THANK YOU! BWAA! SEE? Say "thank you" to me in a megaphone and I'll follow you home forever.

Rhythm Method

My favorite actor Jack Stehlin, who pays a reoccurring role as Capt. Roy Till on the Showtime series Weeds, will be on the TNT program Dark Blue tonight at 9:00pm EST. Damn, I hope I set my Tivo right. Joe already has a show recording at nine, and I think when two shows record at once it sort of makes the screen on both shows a bit glitchy. Eek. Oh well, we shall see.

Bimbo Jet

Thanks ever so much Anita for making a screen cap for me from the music video to David Bowie's "Fashion", which gave me a lota laffs back in thuh day. S. and I used to both have these tubes of lipstick that resembled those giant pill capsules and we used to make each other giggle by slowly pulling them out of our purses at the same time and going, "Ahhhhhhh..... BEEP BEEP!" Now I don't even carry a purse anymore and I keep my lip gloss in my pants pocket. LOLThe80's.

Time to plug my friend Mary's new tumblr page, Cell Band Pics, where my wretched, embarrassingly bad Motorola shots of Black Joe Lewis and the New York Dolls have finally found a loving home. She's looking for more submissions, so please feel free to send her any cruddy band shots you have on your cell, the more hilariously bad the better. It's an unappreciated art form and its time has finally come.

And speaking of tumblr, this gave me a good solid chuckle for a half an hour: CATCHArt! Artwork inspired by the random reCATCHA phrases we all have to enter to sign in or post on certain websites like Facebook, etc. Thanks again to Anita!

Push Your Pedal To My Metal

Saw this band at the Nsect Club in Hampton, VA back in 1993. My friend Rachel and I were up in the balcony overlooking the stage, doing a little synchronized dance that we seemed to have made up together while this song was playing, including blowing kisses during the "MWAH!" parts. I was wearing a dog collar around my neck that belonged to my golden retriever that died the year before. Wow, I listened to this band a lot back in the early 90's. Now it keeps popping up unbidden onto my iPod shuffle. And all I can think about is that silly dance.
