So Conor won the big prize last night on the season finale of "Face Off"! Although in past episodes it seemed that creativity was valued over technical skill, I suppose that Conor won for being relatively and consistently quality minded, if not the most creative person in the contest. The inflatable throat on his frog costume was brilliant. I kind of wondered if Sam made things hard on herself by selecting "The Little Mermaid" as her theme for the final project, given the likelihood that the competition would be looking to build hideous monsters and other attention grabbing creatures. And her secondary theme of "psychedelic", while colorful, didn't really scream out the need for prosthetics. Anyway, I look forward to the promised next season, which is odd for me to say, as I normally loathe television!
Lately I've been going to www.reverbnation.com in an effort to expand my musical experience. Reverbnation seems like a good place to find musicians with whom you were not previously familiar. One artist that I found today that I really like is Melissa Mars, particularly her songs "Army of Love" and the cute and funny "Marshmallow". Unfortunately she seems to be better known in France than in the U.S., so I find her music hard to locate (only segments of Mars' songs are provided on Reverbnation).
I checked out a book from the library today about the comic artist Harvey Kurtzman, which I shall now partake of in an attitude of repose!
