Marlboro Man 2009

I'm terrible. I just couldn't help myself. I saw story over at Boing Boing, saw the pictures, and then read the article and the Photoshop Demon started whispering in my ear. Two more on the flipside.

Shakespeare, Pulp Fiction Style

Inspired by this incredibly funny bit of writing I flipped the script and give to you, without further ado, a scene from Hamlet as done ala Tarantino:

GRAVEYARD SCENE. Enter HAMLET and HORATIO

HAMLET: This skull is motherfuckin Yorrick's. I knew this motherfucker. [picks up skull] First guy to crack a joke, and a good one. And now? Look at this shit. He's a fucking skull. It makes me want to throw up. Right here man he had lips and cheeks and shit. Where are you're motherfucking jokes now, man? Your righteous rhymes? The ones that had all the brothers in stitches. See, he's a skull now man. He can't tell any jokes. He's just a motherfucking skull. Damn shame. Tell me Horatio, one thing...

HORATIO: Anything man. What is it?

HAMLET: Do you think that Greek guy, the old one, Alexander. You think he's just a motherfuckin' skull in the earth now?

HORATIO: Damn straight he is.

HAMLET: You think he smells like shit? [puts down skull]

HORATIO: Damn fucking straight.

HAMLET: We all turn to shit, eh? I can't even imagine trying to find all the rotted pieces of that Alexander dude now. Bits of him must be fucking everywhere. You couldn't even put enough of him together to hole up your ass after a meal at Taco Bell.

HORATIO: You trippin' man. You Are Trippin'.

About Me

So that's me there in that picture. Or me in anime/manga form. I'll probably change that picture from time to time. What else? Well, I call New York City home. My passions include, but are by no means limited to music, politics, capoeira, and good single malt scotch. I suppose if you need to know more than that just mosey on over to the about page more info.

A Quick Observation

Ah, death metal and ballet - two great tastes that go together. Well, if by together you use a crowbar and some sort of lube.

A Short Aside

One of my favorite pleasures is spending quiet Sunday mornings with a cup of coffee and the NY Times. Highlights from this Sunday include a piece about 1970's New York and it's reflection on the ABC show 'Life on Mars' , an appreciation for the TED lecture series, a profile of one of contemporary China's best selling writers, and the role of internet social networks and protests on the Arab street.

Oh and some more bullshit from Tom Friedman...

Listening

Burst Lazarus Bird

How I missed this magnificent disc last year escapes me. Out in a barren waste where Swedish death metal meets Pink Floydian textures and Tool's hypnotic repetitiveness. A stunning work of stark metal beauty.

The Love We Share Without Knowing

Christopher Barzak's fragile novel about love and loss set in contemporary Japan. Light like a wind chime, heavy enough to break your heart.
