Originally Written on 12 August 2005

News: I came up with the idea for an album of covers that frequently have people who had nothing to do with the original recording duet-ing with me. I plan on calling it Elvis, Socrates, Clooney, and Tulsa, a reference to an album by Simon and Garfunkel. The Current Songlist includes:

1. Psycho Killer (The Stop Making Sense Version)
2. Midnight Special (Traditional “Cool Hand Luke” Version, Acoustic Solo)
2. Bloody Hammer (Roky Erickson, Acoustic Solo)
3. Won’t Get Fooled Again (The Who, but Pete Townshend /Policeman’s Ball/ solo acoustic version.)
4. Psycho Killer (Talking Heads, Lead Vox by Rachel Lillis [aka the
voice of Misty and Jessie on Pokemon.] Any Questions? Go to http://www.eviltrailmix.com/animutation/jesus.swf )
5. I’m on Fire (Bruce Springsteen, solo with band)
6. Can’t Get Enough of your Love Baby (Barry White, duet with Jack Black)
7. Rave On (buddy Holly, Duet with Jack White.)
8. 96 Tears (? And the Mysterians, Duet with Lou Reed.)
9. Long Cool Woman (The Hollies, John Fogerty)
10. Promises (Eric Clapton, Duet With Junior Brown)
11. Revolution (Beatles, Duet with Tom Petty)
12. Lola (Kinks, Everybody on the record will be on this song.)

Band Names: Here is one: Torgo-B Thy Name. This will only work if your lead singer changes his name to Torgo-B. Or another one, Starless Night. This Addresses the conspicuous lack of Stars in the Apollo 11 pictures. Hmmmm, Wery Interesting.

Film idea of the day: Untitled so far. In it, a policeman on the case of a murder spree set out by a minor tries to piece together why he did it. Based somewhat on a true story that happened not too long ago, Citizen Kane meets Helter Skelter.

Review of the day: Ferris Bueller’s Day off. 5 Stars. This is a day in the Life of Ferris Bueller. Or More accurately, The 9^th Sick day in a semester of Ferris Bueller. In that day, Ferris, His hypochondriac best Friend Cameron, and his Girlfriend Sloane have an afternoon on The town in Chicago, going to the Art Institute, the Sears tower, Hijacking a parade to Lip-Sync to "Danke Schoen" and "Twist and Shout," and Many more. I have a feeling this will have a profound effect on my film version of Catcher, and in fact, here are some parallels:

Holden: Has failed 4 out of 5 classes.
Ferris: Has missed quite a few school days.

Holden: Frequently calls people up in the middle of the night.
Ferris: Tries to call Cameron up when he would prefer to stay in bed.

Holden: Runs Away From Pencey Prep to go sightseeing in New York
Ferris: Plays hooky to go sightseeing in Chicago.

Holden: Parents think he’s still at Pencey Prep until Wednesday.
Ferris: Parents think he’s still home sick in bed.

Quote of the day: Translate this lyric of 50 Cent’s “song”, “Wanksta” into English:
We In The Club doing the same old two step
Guerilla Unit
Cos they say we bugged out
Cos we don’t go nowhere without toast
If you can understand this, I have a bridge in California I can sell you.

Link of the Day: www.weebls-stuff.com.
This is the home of the bizarre webtoon Weebl and Bob, which is the adventures of two eggs with eyes, who are completely Identical except for the fact that the latter has a higher voice and is smaller. And speaking of voices, they speak in barely intelligible English English, with speech bubbles that are barely capitalized and have very bad grammar.
