The Intensity

~~~

From here til the Annual Summer Wrap party on July 4th, busy times continue. As many of you know, The Wife and I returned to NY3 over the weekend. One of the many discoveries made on this adventure was this Egyptian Obelisk:

I’m sure many of you read about the discovery in the papers. Here is the moment of discovery:

As a “Beatles” enthusiast, we also braved our way to the legendary plot of land planted by the Beatles some millennia ago. However we saw no Strawberries. I reckon the locals devoured them upon first bloom:

Here we see The Host enjoying a Manhattan in Manhattan, also in Central Park:

Currently playing is the first of two compact disks I received for being willingly robbed on 7th avenue. $15 isn’t too bad for two autographed CD’s by local artists peddling their wares … I guess. These are not going into the iMac anytime soon, but for now these “tracks” are making strangely urban sounds here at TNGHbtS. Some bits are getting catchy. Who knows … maybe these will inspire the evolution of DJ-M …

The Eve of May-Eve

~~~

PD0050

Near the end of the 20th Century I got some strange Pagan idea’s into my head. That, coupled with an re-ignited interest in “heavy metal music” I envisioned a cycle of plays. The first was the “Late 20th Century Black-Miracle Plays”. These were suppose to be all evil and shit. I forget how the sequel cycles were to go, maybe “Early 21st Century Miracle Plays” then, ultimately, “Late 21st Century White Miracle Plays”. Not sure what the difference would be. Maybe thats why they have not been written. But to the composed, Many have read “The Two Goofs”, which I believe is the most accessible and fun to read. I think only Frater E read “The Parlour” which is weird and gloomy. Some have read “The Eve of May Eve”, which is incomprehensible and sort of evil. For the brave, and for a short time only it will be available to read here:
