a wish for wings that work

admittedly, you loose something of the context when you have not seen the previous 28 minutes, but this is a small snippet of the greatest animated holiday special ever. opus n' bill's 'a wish for wings that work'.

Opus the Penguin has one aspiration in life: to be able to fly. Unfortunately, destiny--or evolution--has cruelly left his species flightless... until his friend Bill the Cat coughs up a wild idea. Can a Christmas miracle get Opus off the ground? This heartwarming and hilarious holiday romp--based on Berkeley Breathed's comic strip BLOOM COUNTY--features a fine cast of comedic actors, including an uncredited cameo by Dustin Hoffman, as a cross-dressing cockroach.

woefully, it only played once, back in 1991 - but with the power of vhs it lives to this day (if i can find a vcr)... oh, and the power of you tube.... to see it all (of course, you'll want to see it all), go here.

'tis the season

here's wishing you all a wonderful holiday season. may the season bring you peace, joy and happiness.

has it really come to this?

i'm a firm believer that:

is just like:

you can only take so many precautions before the pesky bug is under your skin. as such, at approx. 9:30pm today, i jumped in the toxic lake that is myspace.com and created my own page.

what the fuck you may be asking yourself (i'm still in shock my self) - would you do something like that for?


well boys and girls in blogger-ville, it's pretty simple. every band, ever singer, ever musician around has a myspace page - and those pages are frequently updated a helluva lot more often than their own proper websites. as such, if i want to stay abreast (hehehe, i said breast) [sorry, just trying to get in the typical myspacer headspace] of their goings-on and prevent missing one of my favorite singers (see: bad-fan for an example of what i'm talking about), i needed to dive into the cesspool (you see many of these pages are "locked" to outside viewers; meaning you gotta join to see the goods).


check me out: sr_sl


if you happen to be on myspace; hit me up, send me a note - it looks kinda lame that i only have one "friend" there. [my how low i've gotten, begging for friends... i need a beer now]

"satanic everly brothers"

as referenced here: sr...sl/twilight2 and here: sr...sl/twilight1 i love me some greg dulli and the twilight singers.

on wednesday, december 20th's episode of national public radio's world cafe, greg & his latest co-conspiritor mark lanegan (formerlly of screaming trees). it's a very lovely interview with some musical bits throwin in - i highly recommend you check it out.

fyi

i hate topiary's.

especially christmas topiary's.

dilemma

this is truly a hypothetical question as i've not be asked to do anything special (nor is there a great chance of ever being asked), but as i was watching hgtv's "the white house christmas 2006" a thought popped into my head....

lets say you were asked to supply the christmas tree for the white house, or paint the annual white house family christmas card and you were diametrically opposed to the administration in control. would you still give them the tree or paint the card?

what if the president wanted to honor you for something terribly important - would you go, or send your regrets?

lets say you were a composer and the president wanted you to perform your excellent new composition in the blue room. would you do it?

does the office of the presidency transcend any political partisanship?

please stand by

i'm in a bit of a bah humbug/scrooge mindset....

your regularily scheduled sr...sl goodness will be back after a complete and total immersion in my holiday favorites to try and get perky about the whole fucking thing.

on deck:

some bill murrey/carol ane goodness in "scrooged"

snoopy should be able to crack my mood. he always rocks my world.

and if that doesn't work, there's always my all-time-favorite christmas story:

opus is the shit. seriously - the shit.
