Dolls Gone Wild!

Marionette dolls reenact scenes from classic slasher movies in a trailer for Fujiya and Miyagi's upcoming January album Ventriloquizzing. Pretty hilarious.

Trash Compactor

My friend has started a new tumblr dedicated to wacky Star Wars references called Trash Compactor. I say new because her other one is pretty awesome as well and is called Badass Classical, a collection of really awful awesome classical music album covers.

Anyway, she's invited me to post on it too.  These are my contributions so far.

If The Button Is There, The Monkey Will Push It

If you're like me and like to push people's buttons [playfully kind of like a wicked little elf], then you will love these suggestions.  Prepare yourself for a snort fest then go forth and poke the bear.

Is it weird that I've already done a lot of these?  Reference: 2, 7, 8, 12, 14, 17, 18, 21, 24, 30.  I wish I had thought up 32.

1. Leave the copy machine set to reduce 200%, extra dark, 17 inch paper, 99 copies.
2. In the memo field of all your checks, write "for sexual favors."
3. Specify that your drive-through order is "TO-GO."
4. If you have a glass eye, tap on it occasionally with your pen while talking to others.
5. Stomp on little plastic ketchup packets.
6. Insist on keeping your car windshield wipers running in all weather conditions "to keep them tuned up."
7. Reply to everything someone says with "that's what you think."
8. Practice making fax and modem noises.
9. Highlight irrelevant information in scientific papers and "cc" them to your boss.
10. Make beeping noises when a large person backs up.
11. Finish all your sentences with the words "in accordance with prophesy."
12. Signal that a conversation is over by clamping your hands over your ears and grimacing.
13. Disassemble your pen and "accidentally" flip the ink cartridge across the room.
14. Holler random numbers while someone is counting.
15. Adjust the tint on your TV so that all the people are green, and insist to others that you "like it that way."
16. Staple pages in the middle of the page.
17. Publicly investigate just how slowly you can make a croaking noise.
18. Honk and wave to strangers.
19. Decline to be seated at a restaurant, and simply eat their complimentary mints at the cash register.
20. TYPE IN UPPERCASE.
21. type only in lowercase.
22. dont use any punctuation either
23. Buy a large quantity of orange traffic cones and reroute whole streets.
24. Repeat the following conversation a dozen times.
    "DO YOU HEAR THAT?"
    "What?"
    "Never mind, it's gone now."
25. As much as possible, skip rather than walk.
26. Try playing the William Tell Overture by tapping on the bottom of your chin. When nearly done, announce "No, wait, I messed it up," and repeat.
27. Ask people what gender they are.
28. While making presentations, occasionally bob your head like a parakeet.
29. Sit in your front yard pointing a hair dryer at passing cars to see if they slow down.
30. Sing along at the opera.
31. Go to a poetry recital and ask why each poem doesn't rhyme.
32. Ask your co-workers mysterious questions and then scribble their answers in a notebook. Mutter something about "psychological profiles."

Take me underground
Take me all the way
And bring me to the fire
Throw me in the flames

Show me love
You've got your hands on the buttons now
Show enough
You've got your hand on the button now

Dissection

A Very Short video, Dissection inspired by a Very Short Story.


Dissection from James Webb on Vimeo.

The dissection didn't go as planned
Mary displayed the symptoms
But we could find no evidence of the devil inside her.


In other news, I get my test results today.  I wonder if they've found the devil within me after all.

Reno Dakota Gets His Revenge

Hello darlings!  I made it back from my wild woman camping expedition last night and promptly passed out.  It was a lot of fun and I will post some pictures and regale you with stories when things settle down a bit, but promise not to do in the boring Welcome To The Browns Screening Party Where We Will Snore You With The Family's Entire Summer Vacation Slide By Agonizing Slide kind of way.

In other news, this trifle makes coming back to work the grind so much more worthwhile.  This morning I woke up to this de-light-ful little diddy.  By way of explanation, The Magnetic Fields are one of my favorite bands and Stephin Merritt is the ultimate cuddly/prickly grumpy bear.  If you didn't know there's a fantastic documentary made about him/Mag Fields and which is currently being screened around the country [and I think globe too] called Strange Powers, so named after this amazing/adorable/heartbreaking song.  It's screening in a town about 3 hours from mine early next month, and yes I fully intend upon missing sleep and spending whatever I have to in order to get there and see it.

For those super fans of 69 Love Songs, you will well remember this one.

 Reno Dakota there's not an iota of kindness in you
You know you enthrall me and yet you don't call me
It's making me blue, Pantone 292
Reno Dakota I'm reaching my quota of tears for the year
Alas and alack you just don't call me back You have just disappeared
It makes me drink beer
I know you're a recluse, You know that's no excuse. Reno, that's just a ruse
Do not play fast and loose with my heart
Reno Dakota I'm no Nino Rota I don't know the score
Have I annoyed you or is there a boy who Well he's just a whore
I've had him before
It makes me drink more

Turns out, there's an actual Reno Dakota, someone upon which Stephin Merritt had a giganta crush and who, even after repeated persistent attempts [including sending the above song and crediting the poor man in all 3 discs of 69 Love Songs], remained an unrequited love of sorts.  In this clip from the documentary, we not only get to meet the real Reno Dakota, he sings a song/response in return. 

CUTEBUSTER!!!

Dear Stephin Merritt, please stop I can't bear it, Don't call anymore, 

My answering machine will continue to screen though it's tired and sore

But you're not gonna score

Dear Stephin Merritt 

You've dangled your carrot in the form of a song

That eponymous diddy is biting and witty

Your message is strong, but you've got me all wrong

From up in my tower, I watch with a powerful lust 

For brown gold and rust, Boys of color are just what I must

So dear Stephin Merrit

Just dump out that claret, try sleeping at night 

I'm wishing you well but that snowball in hell has the same sorry plight

And though try as we might, you're both hopelessly white.

And not to fret lovey doves, if you miss the screening, the DVD is due out some time next year.  Stay in the loop here.
