(a haiku)

Skin pricks, heart beats fast
Hands tighten round shark-skin haft.
Embers in the black.



Prof. Androne sez: Haft of what? This one puzzles me. Grade: Check

(A sea chanty)

Refrain:
Wup chee! And
Down the anker!
Slurp up yer lime
Er yull git a kanker.

Verse 1:
I got tew gun an’
I got tew boots
Sew harry into port and
Spend all the loots!

Refrain

Verse 2:
Me an ‘na lasses
We gets on juts fine…
Afra couple swigs
Froma bottle o’ wine.

Refrain


Note: When singing as a round scoundrels and scalawags should alternate lines . . . or verses . . . or whatever.

Last night Megan and I watched the Director’s Cut of THX 1138. For the THX 1138 Director’s Cut, Lucas rather cleverly added CG monkeys. Inspired by Lucas’s simian revisionism, I unearthed some footage from the ol’ treasure trove. I couldn’t do CG chimps, but I did do some melodica, gave the piece a title, and tried to brighten up the footage a little bit. The original was shot on Super 8 and transferred to a now decaying VHS tape. Maybe one day I’ll find the actual Super 8 footage and recopy it. No plot spoilers for the bridge. Just watch it raw and unaware, and think what I’ll be able to achieve with some CG meteors.

It is now pushing 2 a.m., and I have to help Tim move tomorrow. For the past hour I’ve been dealing with an issue with Compressor. The problem is finally fixed, and Kettle Kittens II has been exported.

With the exception of the lead instrument, me on melodica, the song was made from stock sounds in Soundtrack Pro.

I would also note that the strobe is not an FCP effect, but a crank emergency flashlight I have.

Kettle brew those kittens.
