The Cowboy

"Hey pretty girl, time to wake up."
‪

Monty Montgomery as The Cowboy in David Lynch's incomparable "Mulholland Drive".

As A

Another week as unmerciful as a kangaroo cull.

It Was

It was like the time Gregory Peck tossed an aluminum ladder into the whirling blades of a helicopter.

The Party

During the first week she walked up and down the halls by herself and thought about this. She planned about being with some bunch almost as much as she thought of music. Those two things were in her head all the time. And finally she got the idea of the party.

She was strict with the invitations. No Grammar School kids and nobody under twelve years old. She just asked people between thirteen and fifteen. She knew everybody she invited good enough to speak to them in the halls - and when she didn't know their names she asked to find out. She called up those who had a telephone, and the rest she invited at school.

Even More Cowgirls

Outside, it's turning warm. Folks in the less respectable tenements are beginning to take the evening air from their fire escapes.

Down the street, the Puerto Rican husbands have moved their domino games onto the sidewalks.

The little bow-wows and woof-woofs are starting to pant again.

David Lynch

Perhaps surprise is not on the menu of today's moviegoers.

They want reassurance, domestic fairy tales come true, not the astonishment that Jean Cocteau demanded of art.

So all hail the American fringies, those filmmakers who make something different out of next to nothing.

Papa Don't Preach

'Nuff said!?

Happy Birthday Bettina !

MADE Me

Duwayne came to the house to pick me up a little late and MADE me go out.

He had two firearms and he wanted to break into his boss' house and since I did not want to, he hit me on the forehead with the firearm and pointed the gun at me.

He then wanted to rob the store that is close to his house.

He did not give me any money after the robbery.

Have To Tell

There's gonna be a long goodbye on this rainy hill. I can stand in rain in all kinds of temperature and control my shakes to be really quick tremors or giant quakers and baby when I do my quakes I could be the scenery in a blockbuster movie on the first night at the drive-in. The kind where the state troopers have to tell all the people stoppin on the side of the highway to move on and move on quickly and safely. Buckle up now. Buckle up for the greatest show on earth.
