Lassi and Anise

Wow! My friend Sean has a blog now! And he just saw the new version of THX-1138! One of the perks of livin' in the City! Very cool. Looks like it will be a good read! (More pics from Teenagers From Outer Space there, too!)

So I got to hang out with my friend Avery yesterday. I hadn't seen him in a long time! We went to the Chaat House, which is an Indian restaurant near Golfland. (Everyone knows where Golfland is!) It wasn't too bad. Had the obligatory Mango Lassi and after-dinner anise, of course. He's busy with his band these days, Corpus Callosum, (He recently sung of my own mortality at a show! Neat!) and working at the very band-friendly, Barefoot Coffee Roasters. He's a very clever and funny guy. We joked about "psychological superheroes," he mentioned one called, "The Noticer!" With the special power of noticing! ("Hey look everybody, that man's being robbed!" or "Did anyone get the license off that truck??" "Thanks, Noticer!" and so forth) Another one was a guy who's omnipotent, but too polite to meddle in others' affairs. What if that guy is supposed to be robbed? Sort of a superhero that follows a Prime Directive. Hee hee.

Last Sunday my friend Nich came by and we both finally got to see Lost Skeleton of Cadavra! It's a current movie made to look like a cheesy old 50's sci-fi movie in the spirit of Teenagers and Robot Monster. It was funny in parts, with some quotable lines. ("I sleep now!") I actually quite enjoyed the opening credits. It had that semi-animated cut-out thing goin' on. Reminded me of UPA's "The Tell-Tale Heart." (Now available on the Hellboy DVD.) Keen.

I'm starting to get excited about resuming production at De Anza soon! I've been building away these last few weeks, makin' guns and teeth and hair n' stuff. (New pics hopefully up soon at the other blog!) But it'll be fun to get back to seeing all that stuff in action!
