Tattoos, etc.

I'm finally creating a topic post for my "Tattoos, etc." category. (I considered calling it "Bod Mod" but I thought that might make me sound more hard core than I really am). So here are all the posts where I talk about tattoos and piercings; hopefully, I'll have more to add in future:

That Tat (11.14.2006)
New Tattoo (10.21.2006)
The Blue Hair Effect (5.30.2005)

Agent Orange

Amazon.com is doing this thing called Amazon Theatre: Exclusive Short Films: "Every week for five weeks, beginning November 9, Amazon Theater will debut a new short film for your viewing pleasure." Last week's film, Portrait, was entertaining in an unoriginal, predictable sort of way. This week is Agent Orange, a psychedelic love story directed by Tony Scott (of Top Gun fame; apparently he's currently directing a script written by Richard Kelly who wrote and directed Donnie Darko!). Anyway, I definitely recommend checking out Agent Orange.

What I'm listening to right now: Miles Davis — Live at the Plugged Nickel.
I'm almost loathe to confess that I still have trouble appreciating this sort of deconstructionist jazz in a recording (I realize there's probably a proper term for it, but I'm not sure what it is... I don't think it's cool jazz; maybe modal music?). It's different when it's live... sort of like I can interpret the improvisations via the musicians themselves. But on a CD... I'm afraid I'm not feelin' it. Does that make me musically illiterate?

P.S. Another major upheaval in my life... another body modification (gee... I make it sound like I have so many ). Got my upper ear cartilage pierced today at Adorned (same place I went for my navel piercing). Just got a small captive bead ring. It stung a little bit more than the navel, but I really like the way it looks. It's probably a good thing that I only started this trend a couple of years ago, otherwise I might well be covered in tattoos and piercings by now. Wonder what the motivation will be for my next tattoo...
