Up inking drawings, my time off from the restaurant hopefully well spent, and as inking drawings is pretty boring I play podcasts in the background. Radiolab, This American Life, etc.
And I discover this one: I am not a Pirate (Link: https://www.thisamericanlife.org/616/i-am-not-a-pirate) - The Prologue, the tale of Stede Bonnet and Edward Teach (AKA Blackbeard). It's Hilarious. I mean, how is this not a movie? Every bit as entertaining as Pirates of the Caribbean, only this really happened. 5 Stars.

My daughter and I, we've somehow discovered another trail down in to the canyon, we're somewhere around Moab, or East Utah, maybe Arizona - and the trail runs through the red-rocks and balancing hoodoos and standard stark desert geography, only we found an entrance a little to the side, that descends following the trail above through Subterranean windings and blue shafts of light punctured through caves in the rocks above...in shades of blue you can see this great underground wilderness, water drips from above, cold and abundant, spring fed-pools, pale blue, and there are traces of arrowheads and ruins of old pueblos built underground...we didn't know this was here, it's a secret kept by the Rangers, and we continue...

He's got dozens of them, maybe even hundreds, some are ho-hum while others are actually pretty fucking brilliant. It's amazing - from the comments - how many people think he's serious. When he does it right he gives nothing away and he's got that backyard-American-Crazy down to a T. In others he goes that little bit too far - for my tastes at least.
Here's a few of his better ones:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DObg907MC8 Bigfoot in Barn surrounded by Police (read the comments!!)
And, finally, what I think is the best one so far:

Which is just sheer genius, and it works on so many levels.
Winter Light - Ingmar Bergman

I don't know what I was thinking. I mean, I do, after the lightness of the holiday fodder I wanted something with a little more depth and substance, and so I watched "Winter Light" by Ingmar Bergman. It's all that, but it's as well bleak and unforgiving, a masterpiece, perhaps, but not one tuned to my circumstance.
