- Cover of Synecdoche New York
The brooding, ailing hero of “Synecdoche, New York,” written and directed by Charlie Kaufman, admires the pretty legs of his fetching psychotherapist (Hope Davis), which nevertheless extend to at least one foot that is blistered and bruised. Even THIS he has to put up with! It’s a nice touch in an otherwise spurious film–Spurious because it is excessively dark, wholeheartedly pessimistic. Check out more »
Mongol – A Sergei Bodrov Film.
Cover via Amazon
Sergei Bodrov of Russia has a penchant for making pictures concerning distinctly important, as well as interesting, matters. His “Prisoner of the Mountains” (1996), for example, deals with friendship and survival in the war between Russia and Chechnya. “Mongol” (with English subtitles) deals with Genghis Khan’s ascent to power in the thirteenth century, i.e. an arduous climb. Khan’s name is Temudgin; the words “Genghis Khan” mean “universal ruler.” Check out more »
Astrology Predicts Addiction – Harvest Moon
Image via Wikipedia
Can Astrology predict if your gonna be addicted to drugs and and alcohol? Maybe… I had a rather interesting experience on my birthday.
Check It:
I was hanging out on the phone last night with a dear friend under the Harvest Moon. We were talking about life, addiction, astrology, relationships, spirituality, ya know, all that fun stuff
I didn’t know it was the harvest moon
So I decided to take a look at it and see what it was all about. While surfing around I came across this daily astrology blog. (I subscribed) I found her post for my birthday quite interesting.
Allow Me to Quote:
Meanwhile, the “Tender, Compassionate” Pisces Moon is tending to the last of her “prayer requests.” We may want to do likewise (Pisces rules our “link to the Divine”). Later, the Pisces Moon will be restocking the “oceanic bar” with a fresh, 30-day supply of liquor, which she fears may not be enough to last out the whole month now with “Always Thirsty” Jupiter back into Pisces “inebriated waters, “alongside that very “Erratic Drinker” Uranus. Jupiter conjoined Uranus in “drinking hole” Pisces can give a rich “fondness for alcohol” since Pisces rules liquor. Jupiter is also not known “for moderation,” especially when conjoined with Impulsive Uranus who also has difficulty “tempering his impulses.” If we normally have “problems holding our liquor” we may be well-advised to “leave it alone,” for awhile, particularly while this “potent aspect” is in operation.

OK… You cat’s that know me understands that I don’t hold my liquor very well. Uh…Let me rephrase that:
I can’t hold my liquor at all.
So you can see that I was quite amazed by that post. Now let’s see here.. Maybe I should check out today’s post… Uh… …… …….
Well…Uh…. I’ll do it later… You dig?
Until then I think I’ll take her tip:
“Leave it Alone”… today.

Today is September 22. It’s my birthday. I have been blogging daily for about a month on this site after letting it go to limbo for awhile.
What Happened?
Well I had an awakening. I thought I’d just see what would happen if I posted everyday without fail. (I hope)
What Happened?
- Double the subscriber’s
- Double the Traffic
- More Ad clicks (about 3)
- Triple the Twitter Followers
- Some new online friends?
Since it’s my birthday I thought I’d just do a quick post and then treat myself to a Big Mac and a recent release.. Uh…Maybe…
In the meantime be so kind and check out some of these old posts that I re-worked recently. And feel free to check out any of my sponsors

Musician Job Interview Questions
- Image by ….Tim via Flickr
Looking for a job? Well, us musicians may have another approach at dealing with interview questions than normal humans. Sometimes a Hipster has to be prepared ya know?
It’s pretty tough out there. I was unemployed for quite awhile. It was during this time that that I threw these blogs together. I thought I’d just sit around and write wacky stuff and get paid.
Not gonna happen
I’d make more working at McDonald’s
So are you prepared when you go to an interview?
I had no idea what kind of questions they would ask. After doing some research I found these favorites that can be difficult to answer. I will attempt to give it a shot.
Interview Q/A for Musicians
Tell me about yourself.
Well, I’m a spacey guy and I like Pink Floyd
Why should I hire you?
Because I’ll get along famously with all your other employees. The only problem we may have is which radio station to listen to on the assembly line.
What is your long-range objective?
To make your job easier! You would not have to interview anybody else. And if ya hire me then I can get that new guitar I been checking out.
How has your education prepared you for your career?
My public education was limited, so I supplemented it by studying other subjects on the side. How else would I know so much about the Beatles?
Are you a team player?
Absolutely! When I play in my band I do my best to make sure we are all playing in the same key.
Have you ever had a conflict with a boss?
Yeah.. A few times. But he usually persuaded me to come along to his way of seeing things – He would show me company policy statements. Then I would put him on the guest list for our next show.
What is something you would change about your life?
I would have not been so into the old school 60′s acid rock and been more into hair metal. Like all my musical colleagues growing up.
If your not a musician you could try a different approach for a job interview.
