Happy Thursday! We are watching Sky Captain, which is cute for a number of reasons. One is its psuedo-steam-noir WWII + giant robots type style. Exactly the sort of setting I want a story to take place in. The other is of course its pioneering of the acting entirely on green screen. Quite a good effort for the age! Consider how the technology went from this to Avatar in six years. Kinda intense.
Beth is over again, and we have pieces of six songs I think. Seven? LIGHT IT UP, The Lime Song, Bridge to Nowhere, all have words and just need to be polished up. Trapezoid and Mockingbird are instrumentals, variations on D chords, really. Um and then there's a punk rockish song and then another rockish. And there's two more sets of lyrics that don't have any music at all! So that's coming along.
You know what would be horrible? A clown with a clock for a face.
You know what's great? Frank Gorshin as the Riddler. Watch this episode! Death in Slow Motion. It's beyond amazing.
Speaking of superheroes and/or Gywneth Paltrow, Iron Man 2 is action packed. And funny! The plot was more of a straight shot than the first one (whose first act was bogged down in the kidnapping arc) and was full of cool and hip and entertaining episodes. Well cast, too, the new parts (and one of the old). Definitely approve of the Cheadle.
We also hung out with Carolyn one day and played Pokemon Rumble and Speed Racer game! And then we went to Thai food which was sorta amazing. At least mine was.
McArtrey had some screws loose. Literally, since he is equipment. The plate holding the output jack to the side of the guitar kept sliding around, unscrewing the jack until it didn't even connect anymore. So we took him to the guitar doctor who applied some glue and fixed it. And then I said "I don't know if it's me, but it's kinda twangy" and it turned out it wasn't me and he fixed that, too. So now it sounds like a real bass and I'm glad we didn't record anything before I got that adjusted because now I sound a thousand times better.
Rest assured recordings are on the horizon! As Donnie says, any day meow.
