David Lynch, All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth

“Every viewer is going to get a different thing. That’s the thing about painting, photography, cinema. There’s an expression: ‘The world is as you are.’ And the thing about a painting is, each person stands in front and looks, and comes back, and there’s a circle. Each person is going to have a different experience even though the work stays exactly the same. It’s kind of magical. It happens. And sometimes people say that is not for me, and they go away. Others, they love it. It’s up to the person.”

Currently reading: Underworld by Don DeLillo

I read Don DeLillo’s White Noise  a few months back, loved it and wanted to read something else by him. This was a nominated finalist for the 1998 Pulitzer Prize, so I figured I’d give it a try. I’ve only finished the first section, but so far, I’m still in awe of how he can put sentences together and weave characters who have nothing to do with one another in and out of the narrative.

On my list to make/consume:

Penicillin
Makes one drink
2 oz. blended scotch (your choice)
3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
3/4 oz. ginger syrup
3/4 oz. honey
Splash of Laphroaig scotch

Beach House - “Lazuli”

New single from the album “Bloom,” out 5/15/2012.

Scud: The Disposable Assassin  by Rob Schrab

Currently reading this graphic novel. It’s about a robot assassin who realizes he’s set to self-destruct after killing his target. So, after mortally wounding the target and taking her to the hospital, he begins a career as a mercenary/assassin to pay for her hospital bills and ensure his own survival.

It’s really well drawn in black-and-white and the story and characters are insane.

I recently listened to the Chris Elliott episode of the WTF with Marc Maron podcast and this spurned my latest online obsession: The Guy Under the Seats sketches on the old Late Night with David Letterman show. The structure of the sketch gets me every time and really captures the absurdity of the show.
