Ghost, part 2

Ghost, I am old enough to know.
Now I give my summertime to buying winter clothes
And looking for the places where our young mouths used to touch,
Where the landlord rents to college kids, and the kids get high and eat too much,
But empty rolls of film are so much easier to find.
Ghost, you are always on my mind.

Two Interesting Videos

Here are two music videos with really interesting concepts.

The first one is the Mountain Goats' new single:



And the second is by Fionn Regan (than you Summer for the link). All sound you hear is ambient, and the thing is stitched together pretty darn well considering:

ROME

I was watching the HBO show ROME tonight. Great show, and this quote from one soldier to another just cracked me the hell up:

"Course, your best method of pleasing a woman is the warm beating heart of an enemy. I mean, women will say they don't like it but they do. Makes them wet as October."

...the acting is what made it great, I think, but I still like the sentiment.

Resurrection Fern

In our days we will live like our ghosts will live, pitching glass at the cornfield crows and folding clothes. Like stubborn boys across the road we'll keep everything: Grandma's gun and the black bear claw that took her dog. And when Sister Lowrey says "amen", we won't hear anything. The ten-car trains will take that word, that fledgling bird. And the fallen house across the way, it'll keep everything: the baby's breath, our bravery wasted, and our shame.

And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire, both our tender bellies wound in bailing wire, all the more a pair of underwater pearls than the oak tree and its resurrection fern.
