I’ve been on a bit of a Jim Jarmusch kick lately, powered by some lucky DVD finds at thrifts (you can find near *anything* at thrift store DVD shelves these days, if you’re willing to dig past the many copies of the “Harry Potter” films and the always-present “Inception”), so when I came across this […]

Mail Call: From the House of Polt
Ehh, I’m not so sure the world needs more Chaos Magic right now, and I’m a Chaos Mage. Kinda already pretty badly unbalanced, if you want my opinion. Currently in the Eyeholes: Heh, this movie always makes me feel better about the swirling maelstrom around me. At least my decapitated friends aren’t biting my butt! […]
Currently in the Eyeholes: The Girl Chewing Gum & True Stories
Just done bein’ in the eyeholes, and now rattlin’ around the squishy bits: Currently in the eyeholes: Another one Joe would prolly dig.. “I really enjoyed forgetting. When I first come to a place, I notice all the little details. I notice the way the sky looks. The color of white paper. The way people […]
Mail Call: Autumn Mail from STM
Currently in the eyeholes: The thing that struck me about this film is that if you like the first few minutes of it, you’re gonna like the rest. Well, that and the curiously Japanese tendency to do full frontal censorship by just drawing Barbie Doll anatomy rather than tastefully positioned debris or something. Just strikes […]
Mail Call: The CTCTR Returns!
Currently in the eyeholes: Funny, as I skim the news today, I recall this quote from Lew Harper in this movie: “The bottom is loaded with nice people – all that rises is cream and bastards…” -Harper
Mail Call: Bat-Kilroy Lurks!
Currently in the Eyeholes. I found another DVD of this film while thrifting with Correspondent Gregory last month, and passed it to him, as I thought he’d really dig it. If he does dig it, then I’d also recommend “Koyaanisqatsi”, “Powaqqatsi”, and “Naqoyqatsi” as films in a similar vein, though this one surprised me by […]
Ghost Tapes 1987: The Torture Bugs
Way back in 1987, when the Salt River still had water in it most of the time. About 10 years ago, that started being so rare that the city ran a temporary road through the bottom of the riverbed to reduce traffic on the overstressed bridge. Well, it’s still there and being used. Do I […]
Mail Call: Canadian Mail and So It Goes…
Well, at least I’ve got a letter from Correspondent Daniel B. to answer. Episode 15 for him! (:
Keepin’ my mind off the election – Let’s play with Cassette Tapes! :D
Mail Call: Two New Letters, and Tape Pals Omega XL Begins
I built the Omega XL Tape Pals box some weeks ago in anticipation of starting a second Tape Pals 3-Way Cassette Letter, and We’ve finally got our Third Agent. Inside the Box! Some new concepts to this particular box; Agent Logs have moved to the J-Card sheet, which left an empty container where the Log […]
