Something Wicked This Way Comes
Right in time for Halloween, two of my favourite horror films- Psycho and The Shining: an Alfred Hitchcock classic and a Stephen King novel come to life.

Just A Shot Away...
I know I've posted this photo of Cherie before, but it's one of my favourites.
The way she smokes that cigarette in her own bedroom so nonchalantly is timeless, true rockstar.

The Night's Not Over
"He seemed impressed by the way you came in.
'Tell us a story
I know you're not boring'
I was afraid that you would not insist.
'You sound so sleepy
just take this, now leave me'
I said please don't slow me down
If I'm going too fast
You're in a strange part of our town...
Yeah, the night's not over
You're not trying hard enough,
Our lives are changing lanes
You ran me off the road,
The wait is over
I'm now taking over,
You're no longer laughing
I'm not drowning fast enough.
Now every time that I look at myself
'I thought I told you
this world is not for you'
The room is on fire as she's fixing her hair
'you sound so angry
just calm down, you found me'
I said please don't slow me down
If I'm going too fast
You're in a strange part of our town...
Yeah, the night's not over
You're not trying hard enough,
Our lives are changing lanes
You ran me off the road,
The wait is over
I'm now taking over,
You're no longer laughing
I'm not drowning fast enough."

Your Arms Around Me
Finally back from a quick trip to Vancouver. Even though it was a whirlwind trip, highlights included strolling the beach and seawall daily, buying various goodies at Whole Foods, spinning some CCR and Muddy Waters on vinyl, and seeing my sister. Great trip and this song seems to bring all of the bittersweet elements back in focus.
