Got some writing accomplished last night. Basic outline, some bits of dialogue. It's not coming together in "freeflow" style I usually go for, but building on a planned skeleton seems to be working for me so far. 6 characters is a bit stereotypical so far... protagonist, romantic interest, street contact, police interface, villain and victim. I've got the method, but some aspects of the implementation aren't quite on the beam. It wa skind of hard ot get rolling, but about 15 minutes in, the flow improved.

(Writing to Linda Ronstadt's unreleased Keeping Out Of Mischief album certainly promotes noir. Got to love a good torch song from a voice like hers. Thank you, internet for obscure, but easy to download, lost vinyl!)



I would really like some of these USB Powered Air conditioned clothes in a Hawaiian print.



Bing, Bang Boing - The bounce-a-dilly whatchamagame with the bingaroony sound. (and the rnifty 70's commercials) My neighbor Jason has the smash-up derby ssp racers, and they were a hoot. (via my my littler big sis, [livejournal.com profile] ldy)



Moment of music - mp3

Rotating head, keeps on the right side
Coiled up and tense remains on the lookout
Expects to be shot or get given the bullet.
Rotating head tries to look on the bright side of things.

Rotating head, friends in high places
No need to guess what he's got in that briefcase
A mind like a gin-trap, one swollen ankle.
The rotating head tries to stay on the right side of things,
On the right side of things.

Living on tip-toe,
Waiting for the next step,
The wages of death
What a life for a swivelhead.

Understand, underhand, underarm protection
Each new passer-by a new wave of suspicion.
In less than an hour the plane will be leaving
The lights and the cameras
Then sleep on a prayer and a wing
Rotating.

Living on tip-toe,
Waiting for the next step,
The wages of death
What a life for a swivelhead.

Rotating head look on the bright side
Coiled up and tense remains on the lookout.
A mind like a gin-trap, one swollen ankle.
The rotating head tries to stay on the right side of things,
That's the right side of things.

Yes please if you don't mind. I don't have that one--I've never actually heard this song but for some reason it speaks to me :D

Seriously?? wow. It's been recorded by a lot of folks.

It's from the Broadway show "Greenwillow"... The first time I ever heard it, it was sung by Anthony Perkins (the star of the movie "Psycho")

Listen a bit to that Ronstadt still shuddering, I like torch but gimme Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James.
Ronstadt can take a dive into the Blue Bayou.

Well, yeah, you've got the big three there...tough to beat.


I think Linda did a good job, though... I like her voice.

he's fine at home, but i wouldn't take him out to see them. they're much too loud for his puppy dog ears.

poor little feller! super-hearing has its limitations!

If you want a cohort, I'm happy to tag along on a 7/4 trip! I still don't know which looks best to me.

i'm just glad he doesn't freak out. a lot of animals have to be sedated for fireworks related holidays :(.

yeah, i'm having trouble there too. several years running i went to BCC South Campus and watched what may have been the Pembroke Pines show, but it's kind of a pain to get in and out of and there is not a bathroom in sight from there...

I was thinking that the pompano beach pier (or any pier) might be a good one to view fireworks. Alternately, one of the tall bridges, perhaps?
