Strange Tings A Gwan

Larisa and I spent Saturday cruising New Kingston–we went shopping at Sovereign Centre, saw The Simpsons Movie at the movie theater there, and walked all the way down Hope Road to Half Way Tree for more shopping. Here are some funny sights along the way, followed by a report of the bizarre world of movie-watching in Jamaica after the jump.

Evil Index Update

Such day of mixed performance on the Evil front. Villany just isn’t what it used to be –

Introducing the dreamachine, endorsed by the likes of Tim Leary and Will Burroughs. The New York Times article on it is fantastic. You can experience the effect using your monitor here.

I’m thinking the Golden Arm will be regular “screenings” of the Dreamachine next year, with different soundtracks at each event.

How cool would that be
