Christopher Walken Rocks my Socks

I'm still in Hawaii, we leave tomorrow night. As far as I know "The Seduction of Joe Tynan" should be waiting for me when I get home. I got an email from the ebay seller letting me know the item had been mailed. If it isn't there I may cry.

Not much has been going on other than being in Hawaii which, is always a production. For fourth of July we were in Hilo and had an excellent view of fireworks over the bay. Hilo, for those who have never visited, is my mother's hometown. I don't that in itself makes it a tourist attraction, but in Hawaii I rarely feel like a tourist. I'm sure there are plenty of other reasons to visit, I just don't know what they are yet. We divide our time between the yacht club (which has no yachts) and my grandfather's house. I spent many long hours in the downstairs of that house as a child. When I was about twelve I started working my way through the bizarre set of books in the room I slept in. I read Sirens of Titan, some book by Kennedy (obviously memorable), Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story in a compilation novel, and Rosemary's Baby. In retrospect, at the exceptionally mature age of eighteen, I'm not sure Rosemary's Baby was the thing to be reading at age twelve. But that's okay, half way through the reading of the book it mysteriously disappeared. And I have no fucking clue where it went. This visit I spent a dedicated half hour to digging through everything looking for that book. At the time, I assumed my mother had thoughtfully censored the books available for my reading. But now she swears she didn't take it. So my options are either my uncle removed it or the geckos.

The real point of this post, other than for me to vent my frustration over lost books about Satan, was a post dedicated to Christopher Walken. Because he's just that fucking cool.

As evidence of this fact:

more graph humor and song chart memes

Personally, I'm not positive Christopher Walken beats boobs on the awesomeness factor, but if Graph Jam tells me it is so, then it is so.

There are no words for how cool Christopher Walken is. He's awesome.

To further demonstrate, Eddie Izzard pretending to be Christopher Walken, and Christopher Walken himself.



Also a shout out to the cast of [title of show] who started previews on Saturday. I'll be doing a big [title of show] post for the opening night, but until then: tell nine people.
