Wandering
Ok, doing the searching-old-entries-and-hitting-links thing, a sure sign that I should not be at the computer. Did see that Nerdbait.com was updated fairly recently, after getting to The Nerdbait Forum by way of the brought-back-April-1st-and-I-missed-it Warren Ellis Forum.
Oh, and a link there to some Buffy Wrap Party photos. There is Amber Benson-y goodness, which the world needs more of.
Mind you, that last link took me to Ghosts of Albion:
London, 1838. As Demons swarm across the land, William and Tamara Swift must fight to find the wound in the Heart of London - using magic, intelligence, and the help of some long-dead friends.Written by Amber Benson (Tara Maclay in Buffy) and Christopher Golden, Ghosts of Albion features a stellar cast, including Jasmine Hyde and Rory Kinnear, plus cult legends like Anthony Daniels, Leslie Phillips and Emma Samms.
Ghosts of Albion is our first fully animated webcast. It was animated by Cosgrove Hall - the people who brought you classics like Dangermouse.
If you recognize the name Anthony Daniels and you fondly remember Dangermouse. . . well, I just described myself, so I guess I can't insult you too badly. But still.
Anyone watched any of the episodes? Don't think I'm in the right frame of mind for the thing right now.
Update: Saw a brief article in Girlfriends (the issue with some Buffy cast members [including Amber Benson] on the cover and Heather in an ad on the inside) noting that Hothead Paisan is back as a comic strip, but cannot find anything about this online. Odd, that.
Also, today's Boondocks made me laugh like a hyena.
That is all.

You know, the only Branford album I've heard that really moved me was Trio Jeepy, with Tain and the great swing bassist Milt Hinton. I remember him saying he didn't get why critics liked it so much, because it was just a jam session, but what the hell does he know? I especially liked the hip way he kept turning away from the mike, a la 60s Rollins.
The thing that's cool about Branford is that he can imitate anybody from Ornette to Jan Garbarek and make it sound like an organic improvisation, rather than a bunch of licks (like Wynton, with all due respect). The thing that's not cool about either of them is their personalities.
Anyways, tomorrow I ask Dr. Schnall if my suspicions are correct that I have cupital tunnel syndrome, in addition to still being somewhat debilitated from finally finally finally finally having my crooked shoulder fixed by Dr. Itamura eight years after getting plowed down by that goddamn Korean taxi. I do hope to do the music thing again someday.
Goodnight everybody.
