This morning I dreamt of orchestrating the fireworks to Mark Mothersbaugh’s Ping Island Lightning Strike Rescue, and it’s the best idea my subconscious has ever had.

As for my consciousness and the rest of me, we’re off to Penticton for the weekend. Until Monday, I will leave you with this message I got on OKCupid:
Hi ! I am called Elena, me with 26 years. I have seen your structure,
and it loved me, therefore I have decided to write to you the letter.
I would be pleased, if you have written to me the answer to my letter,
and we might study each other better. I should request you, please
write to me the letter on mine email : elenochka000@yandex.ru . I
shall be pleased to see your letter, and I shall answer all your
questions. I shall tell at once, I shall try to lead with you a lot of
time and you with me do not become bored. Bye my new friend
Elena !!!!!!!!
You should compose a reply in Russian using Babelfish (babelfish.altavista.com). Maybe her structure will love you too.
Is that the song from Life Aquatic that starts as plinky Casio sounds (as they emerge from the ocean) and builds to a full orchestra as they make their way across the island? That’s an awesome song. If so, that’s an awesome song.
There’s a really nice feature on the Criterion Life Aquatic 2CD set, where Mothersbaugh explains how he’s been expanding Anderson’s musical horizons with every film.
And yeah … the wonderful Russian spam on OKC. I simply report it all. Haven’t got any in quite awhile. I guess they’re trying to start up again.
Elena is obviously a keeper Mister Macbin. Seize the moment, head to Russia and marry this girl! Oh, you’re going to Penticton for the family thing. Hmmm, then nevermind.
