Any Road Will Take You There

[wytchcroft]

Funny sometimes the way associations will cluck about you like ragged hens waiting on a feed.

Re-watching Carnivale - and a friend's page here slipping down out the corner of my eye; Bob Dylan - 1976 Rolling Thunder Review.

Two countries on a threadbare map spread like an old blanket some shaman comes dancing on - a magic soft shoe shuffle.

And i'm thinking of Sam Shepard and his 'snake tide' and how Carnivale conjures that up so...

Digging out the battered copy from the book box - opening up the nicotine yellow pages with a snake skin sound, dry and flickering its tongue.

Old letter comes tumbling out - a note from someone and it turns into another Bob Dylan song - Dear Landlord - coz the letter is from a long lost house i rented.
The letter is from the owner. Throwing me out. On Xmas day.

True story.

Hey! I'm rewatching Carnivale as well. Just finished "Milfay" last night and am in the middle of whatever the second episode is. Can't watch until the kiddies are in bed. I forgot how good this show is. I bought season one for $7.99!! Biggest bargain...ever!

OMG! You are a Carnivale fan??? I loved that show! There were only two seasons right? I wish they would bring it back.

i wish they would bring it back too!
but you can get both seasons on dvd for a reasonable price:)

I really want coax my fiance' to start watching that. I love the sepia tones, absolutely perfect.

Yeh... i'm a sucker for the autumnal. It is a slowburner of a series, but man is it addictive!:)

I only saw a couple of episodes, but I remember loving it. Why is it always the GOOD shows that get cancelled? I mean, how fucking long has Prison Break been running? How many fucking times can the same two morons get captued and escape? Gah.

it is a bit disconcerting to realise how quickly
i can build a shrine to the cancelled!:)
