So little time to sit down and write (no excuses).

Will get it together one of these days.

Perhaps the recent acquisition of BBEdit 10 will light a fire under my butt.

Watch this space.

As a friend of mine pointed out: I’m built for dark taverns and Guinness, not sunshine and spritzers. (Note: alcohol was not involved)

Clearly, my application of sunscreen was too late.

Day five: the peeling begins…

Of the piles of podcasts I subscribe to, it’s these ones that make me the most giddy while updating:

* Harry Shearer’s Le Show

* The Subgenius Hour of Slack

* WNYC’s Radiolab

* Will Franken’s Things We Did Before Reality

* James Lileks’s The Diner

Nothing like reading an article in the Globe and Mail that features the word “fucking”.

Toronto Sun readers would get their panties in a bunch.

One of many wonderful lines from the great George Carlin. I’m still debating having actual bumper stickers made.

Throughout the film, Anger recalls his works, his travels and relationships, most notably with Dr. Alfred Kinsey, who was his first-ever customer, purchasing a copy of his first film, Fireworks for the Kinsey Institute.

Naturally, a documentary on Kenneth Anger wouldn’t be complete without mention of Aleister Crowley. In addition to speaking about Crowley’s influence, the DVD bonus features include footage of Anger visiting Crowley’s one-time Italian villa, where, nearly 50 years ago, he’d scrubbed off the whitewash paint thrown over several of the magus’s murals by soldiers under Mussolini’s orders.

With this documentary, and the two separate volumes of restored films made earlier this year for the first time on DVD, it’s safe to say that 2007 is the year of digital Anger. Let’s hope restored versions of Hollywood Babylon (I and II) see their day on DVD, too.
