Nothing much to say:
Hanging out with friends, eating too much, not reading anything but photography books and old comics. Trying to make a CD-mix of science-fiction realted songs (prime examples: "Space Oddity" by David Bowie, "Major Tom by Peter Schilling, "Why Me?" by Planet P Project, and "Rocket Man" by Elton John) -- I could really use some more suggestions.
I'm taking tomorrow off to go make some photographs. Our assignment this week is "multiple exposures", but I find it more technical than artistic and, thus, less fun. But more time-consuming.
The Silverton area might provide some good shots, though: the town itself is interesting, and rumor has it that the Oregon Garden has free admission this month (which isn't surprising since there probably isn't much to see). My ultimate destination is Silver Creek Falls; I'm going to get some practice with my wide-angle lens.
On this day at foldedspace.org
2005 — Moonshowers When I turned down Gribble Road this morning — the final leg of my drive to work — I was struck by an oddness about the scene before me.
2004 — Red Right Ankle Kris and I watch Life as a House, and I like it in spite of myself. I am swamped with computer work. I'm getting thinner and I've lost my belt, so my pants keep falling down. I *love* the song Red Right Ankle by The Decemberists.
2002 — Eila's 32nd Birthday We sat around a table, drinking our cosmopolitans and our Mexican coffees, and we played UNO while pumping dollar bills into the jukebox.
Star Treking by the Firm
Doctorin' the Tardis by "the Timelords" (actually KLF)
Yoda by Weird Al (to the tune of Lola)
Pure Energy by Information Society (has samples of Leonard Nimoy)
For Science by They Might Be Giants
The Guitar (the lion sleeps tonight) also by TMBG (well, it's got a spaceship in it!)
Modern Love by David Bowie
Radio Ga-Ga by Queen is sort of SF-ish
Anything from the Flash Gordon or Highlander soundtracks, both by Queen
The Cantina Band song from the Star Wars soundtrack
Europa and the Pirate Twins by Thomas Dolby. Heck, half the songs on Golden Age of Wireless
I haven't heard it, but there's a soundtrack album out for the yet-to-be-released Spaceship Zero movie, done by the Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. That might provide some grist for the mill...
