Tonight, more Ambersons work.

Tomorrow, no work on shows, but off to a gallery opening of drawings by Ivy Dachman, my stepmother, in Pound Ridge, NY.

Sunday, watch a runthru of Babylon Babylon to figure out the lights, and more work on Everything Must Go in the evening.

Monday and Tuesday are nominally "off," but there's work I have to do on the lights for Babylon Babylon, and it looks like I need to see a dentist about pulling these last two wisdom teeth, one of which is giving me some problems - and figuring out if it will actually be cheaper for me to drive up to Maine and have the dentist I see up there do it rather than go someplace local (which seems to be the case, but I don't know if I can take off for two days at this point and deal with Babylon Babylon work).

So while I variously use what I have on hand to deal with the tooth pain (advil, vicodin, etodolac, single-malt scotch), a Friday Random Ten, from the 25,630 on the iPod:

1. "Your Generation" - Generation X - D.I.Y.: Anarchy in the UK - UK Punk I (1976-77)
2. "Editions of You" - Roxy Music - For Your Pleasure
3. "When Under Ether" - PJ Harvey - White Chalk
4. "It Ain't Me Babe" - Johnny Cash & June Carter - Man in Black 1963-69
5. "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again" - Bob Dylan - Blonde on Blonde
6. "Mirror Freak" - Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel - The Human Menagerie
7. "Copy" - Plastics - Welcome Plastics
8. "Enthusiastic" - David Thomas - More Places Forever
9. "Lone Soul Road" - Sainte Anthony's Fyre - Sainte Anthony's Fyre
10. "Feel the Pain" - One of Hours - Diggin' For Gold - Vol. 10: A Collection of Demented 60's R&B/Punk & Mesmerizing 60's Pop

That was a great Randomosity to get me pepped up and less-miserable (I have to try and remember that "Editions of You" can always make me happy-peppy whenever I need it)!

And here's the Friday Cat Photos -- Hooker resenting me bugging him this morning while he's trying to take a nap on one of Berit's clothes shelves:

Moni resenting Berit trying to hold her still this morning for a nice picture for the blog:

And the two of them, beyond resentment, having a nice nap together last night:

Finally, two pieces of video humor. First, a silent piece of Flash animation imagining a phone conversation between a couple of pop stars:

( P Diddy Calls Bjork About a Duet )

And this was apparently all over the net a few days ago, but it wasn't anywhere I saw it immediately, so maybe you missed it, too - a side of the Muppets I'd never seen before:

( Beaker Sings Something Different )

(more info on this can be found HERE, if you need it)

Favorite quote from elsewhere today -- Warren Ellis and Ben Templesmith have an idea while chatting on Twitter (as reported on Ellis' site):

templesmith: I want Ray Winstone & Ian McShane in an hour long tv show where all they do is sit in a room & discuss how to kill ppl with cockney accents

warrenellis: we must write that show. Call your agents. It could be called THOSE BASTARDS.

templesmith: SOLD sir.

Back to work . . .
