A few years ago, I had this squirrely idea for a project where I thought a bunch of different people should cover The Palace Brothers’ “I am a Cinematographer”…as a power pop song. (sample on iTunes)
Going through an old hard drive tonight, I found the two versions I made — a couple of the first things I ever made in (the then-new) Garage Band.
Number of times — while watching the first two-thirds of The Queen, starring Helen Mirren — that I thought to myself, “Hm, this kinda seems like a BBC TV movie that I’d never finish watching:” 7
Likelihood, expressed as a percentage, that I will ever watch the last third of The Queen, starring Helen Mirren: 0
Times by which Children of Men is better than the first two-thirds of The Queen, starring Helen Mirren: 3
Minimum number of dollars I spend at Bristol Farms — seemingly independent of what I’m there to buy: 12
