Don’t Die Ding by Curiosity Group. Hit play or go to LinkI wavered over the Emily Dickenson, but I took Alan Moore: Portrait of an Extraordinary Gentleman off the shelf instead and gently flipped through it as I sat on the bed, brushing my hair with my fingers, before deciding I lacked the proper background and putting it back.

In elementary school our cello player moved away, and I didn't want to switch back to it from the viola, so I got the part of playing the cello refrain whenever we did Pachelbel's Canon. My little viola didn't have the resonance of a cello, but it still sounded really good.

And yes, everything he says about child cello players is true. Fuck you for breaking my bridge, James DelRoy.

I thought his little peice was utterly fantastic.

Whenever I read about witches and kids a la Hansel and Gretel, I'm always reminded of the awesome fight that Homer Simpson has with a witch in one of the Treehouse of Horror episodes. He defeats the witch by taking bites out of her gingerbread house. He takes a huge bite out of an enormous candy cane and the witch shrieks "You idiot! That was a load-bearing cane!" and much collapsing of house ensues.

Load-bearing cane. Hilarious.

Maybe it's just me.

You'll have to show me some day. My idea of Hansel & Gretel tends to come down on the side of the witch.

Those kids were little shits. Trespassing is against the law, she was protecting her property!

There's a related story, though I don't think it predates it, but rather pulls from hansel & Gretel, about a madwoman who eats her children so as to keep them close to her forever, and then she mistakes all children after for her own.

I missed Saddam Hussein's execution. (Digression)

That's a good thing, isn't it?

I'm finding it exceedingly distateful how the media's been handling it.
