Last weekend I got TV. I
mean, I own a TV, but it's only for watching DVDs. The only things I've
watched in the past four years have been my movies and DVDs of PBS shows my dad has
compiled for me. Some people have Netflix, I have Dadflix. Now I have an
antenna and surfable channels. I've been doing a little relaxing from making
art this week. Mostly it's been spent cleaning up the art hurricane that blew
through my kitchen and living room last week, writing blog posts about The
Strip, cooking, and flipping channels. I've seen some things I never want to
see again, namely PBS's travel-nerd, Rick Steves, steam shirtless and get a
massage complete with upper thigh slap at a spa in Germany. Yikes.
Last night, I happened
upon The Vikings. I found it late in
the plot, but at the end it was basically Kirk Douglas sword fighting a
one-handed Tony Curtis over the affections of Janet Leigh. Tony won, and Kirk
sailed off into the sunset on a flaming, funeral pyre. What I saw was so-so,
but the end credits were great. They were an animated version of the Bayeaux
Tapestry. Check it out!
