Big Trouble
Watched 'Big Trouble in Little China' last night and Chris looked to be in pain throughout. He has this odd notion that films should have a plot or story and that, unless in a recognised arty film, that scenes should tell a narrative. None of which applies to 'Big Trouble'! Special effects, mayhem and human demons with super powers does it for me.
Bambi Lake and CD Baby
I mentioned my fascination with Bambi Lake in a blog last year and have now tracked down a CD of her music which I have (of course) purchased. 'The Golden Age of Hustlers' is a very poignant song and I want it. It was on the CD Baby site in America, not one I've come across before but it seems to be run by some delightfully charming people. Rather than just sending a 'we've put it in the post' email they sent me the following eccentric message:
Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.
A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure it was in the best possible condition before mailing.
Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy.
We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved 'Bon Voyage!' to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, Wednesday, June 21st.
I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did.
Your picture is on our wall as 'Customer of the Year'. We're all exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!
I'm also quite touched that the 'from' name in the address bar is 'CD Baby loves Owen'. What nice people.

I was staring intently at the screen waiting for a character to appear that I felt remotely interested in and apropos to that, worried about the peril they might encounter.
Sadly there wasn't one.
