Joe, after this New Order record, though, those frogs had to stoop to working for Budweiser just to maintain the hedonistic showbiz lifestyle they'd grown accustomed to. The Behind the Music episode on it is kind of tragic.

sounds fun, handy! say hi to the fishes for me! Speaking of fishes, the estuary tank is going well. Had to release a few aggressive fishes into the wild. One was kind of confused and essentially stayed where I dropped it in for about 20 minutes. Also had to release the crab -- once he sloughed, he supersized and decided to hunt instead of wait for fish to get too close by. Lost three fish to him in two days.

If I still have problems, I'll fly you out, spodi! The guy who had it before me severely neglected it and I suspect there's something rusted or broken where the motor pivots. He had docked it with the motor down and then didn't operate it for a couple years. Barnacles on the prop when I got it, that kind of neglect. First world problems though, so I'm not actually complaining, just informing (that's what I tell my bride when she says I complain too much. There's truth in my avatar...)

The Oscar:

This feels too good to be true, but I heard once that Riz Ortolani, the writer of More, was so horrified by the movie that he swore never to score another horror or genre movie. In the late '70s, an Italian director sent him a gushy fan letter begging him to score his new movie, and he reluctantly agreed. The movie turned out to be Cannibal Holocaust, one of the most notoriously gruesome films ever made. (Ortolani's score is lovely, though!)
