an immodest proposal or a not butch hair cut or I know that's a young David Letterman but is that really his hair?

The ladies in my choir had the best responses to my haircut. Two of them even rubbed my head. Some of them wished they could get away with hair so short. One of them told my mother, "She still looks feminine!" 


I wish you could meet these women.


I've been thinking of starting a second blog, what I shall call A Compendium of Alternative Media, to curate a collection of things you might not know to stumble upon, to diversify your 30Rock on Hulu and  streaming Netflix habits. And yes, to even shake up your Stargate showtimes.


I know of some great short animations and documentaries that I'd love to tell you about. I'd love to tell you about the folklore that informs strange Kenneth Anger avant-garde movies and do your remember those videos of the weimaraner dog on Sesame Street that was "dressed" in clothes and had hands?  Well those were done by William Wegman who's got other things you can watch online that are also oddly fascinating.





And in case you want to have just a bit more of Wegman and his dog Man Ray or you have a similar nostalgic fascination and love of old TV taped on VHS check out their appearance on Letterman sometime in what seems to be the early 80s. You should at least check out the Wegman film shown at about 8:45, it'll make you smile.





But these might be boring to you, that's ok. You might not be the audience for my compendium, or maybe these just aren't your thing. I hope to make it fun and varietous, something for most people. What are you interested in seeing/hearing/learning about?
