Operation: Stand Up

The operation has begun.  Reconnaissance began tonight and was highly successful.  It appears the initial assault will require about five minutes worth of material, with an emphasis on the filthiest stuff the lab boys can cook up.  Resistance is expected but it should be slight; we will be greeted as liberators.

In other news, it's looking like at least some of the soundtrack for Dr. Zombie-Hands is not going to be available, at least in its original form. Apparently the film is more lost than I thought despite being less than forty years old. I'm still going to do the best I can, though - I may simply have to substitute modern covers or closest equivalents for some tracks.

Next Time, I Guess

I've kegged my latest batch of beer, and in the process tried a little...  I don't know if carbonation will really bring it out somehow, but if not, I don't think there's going to be much effect from the juniper berries.  I didn't notice them at all when I took a little sample, anyway, you certainly can't smell them.  Clearly I did not crush them adequately, next time I'll try actually grinding them up as opposed to just smashing them.  I'm not sure how this batch is really going to work out in general, to be honest, I also managed to lose two liters of it somewhere.  I can take a lesson for next time from the juniper berry thing, but I have no idea where those two liters of beer went.

Life's like that, though, I guess.  You don't always learn from everything, you just try and see if it happens again.  Is it better that it does, and the universe is consistent, or that it doesn't, and it's better the second time?

Those little helicopter seeds are falling so thickly past the streetlight outside I thought it was an early snow at first.

Remember The Dana Carvey Show?  Apparently you can watch it on Youtube now.

It's good when you're housebound, such as, for example, when you've accidentally severely scalded one of your feet and can't really do anything that involves standing or walking.

Dr. Zombie-Hands!

Following the wild success of my earlier work reconstructing the original soundtrack of the (sadly lost) Romanian sci-fi film Cirque De L'Espace, I've decided to try my hand again.  So to speak.

Dr. Zombie-Hands is a pretty great, weird horror film that I'd like to say has an undeserved reputation, but sadly it actually has almost no reputation at all.  Essentially impossible to find on video anymore, even on the grey market, the movie is practically forgotten.  It may not be a classic on the level of Cirque De L'Espace, but it's certainly deserving of a lot more recognition than it's gotten.  Hopefully I can contribute to that a little bit.

More details as the project progresses.

Drinking Along with Withnail

Not really.  The second drink taken in the film (not, as is often erroneously stated, the first) is lighter fluid, so trying to keep up isn't a terribly good idea.

I did just watch Withnail and I, though I didn't start drinking until afterward.  I'd never noticed it before, but Black Books seems a lot like "Withnail & I: The Series".  Dylan Moran even sort of looks like Paul McGann from some angles, doesn't he?  Though I suppose Withnail is more like Bernard Black in personality...  I wonder how coincidental that is, anyway.

Anyway, I have some catching up to do, so...
