That music is never leaving my head now, thanks

Based on the strength of the preview, Laura and I went to see The Fall:



It was indeed as stunningly beautiful as you'd think. And that music in the preview, you know, the second movement of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony? Yeah, that got stuck in our heads for several days. That was fun. Laura eventually wrote lyrics to it and then made a short video using those lyrics:


It's a pity she's not singing in the video, because she was amazing when she sang it to me. Her impression of Subcomandante Marcos makes up for it, though.

Subcomandante Marcos is probably my favorite not-yet-successful revolutionary. For a few years he took a backseat to Luther and Johnny, the chainsmoking magical twins who led God's Army in Myanmar when they were 10, but they retired (ie, reached puberty) and now I'm firmly backing the Zapatista Army of National Liberation. You're a part of the problem, not a part of the solution, if you can't support a dude who says things like this:

The only way to get their attention is to kill or be killed. If you ask us what's going to happen in the near future, we have no fucking idea. Sorry for using the word 'idea.' We are ready to go to war or move on to peace.

Sure, war or peace. Either one. OK.
