Movies | Zabriskie Point finale

What a lame plot, if that’s what that was. Dialog – not much better. But.
Exquisite cinematography. About one hour forty-six minutes into it, also, a piece that morphs with the soundtrack so well that I would pay to stage it at any contemporary space worth its existence.

This is Michelangelo Antonioni’s “Zabriskie Point” | Cinematography Alfino Contini | Music Pink Floyd “Come In Number 51, Your Time is Up” where it matters

At Home | Humidify!

©MAK

Supposedly cold and flu viruses like dry air better… 
Proper humidity eases coughing 
Humidity is good for the skin and relieves those chapped lips Wooden floors and furniture, and wall paper fair better than in dry air 
Air feels warmer when not cold and dry 
Lowers static electricity 
Less frizzy hair, less tousled clothes and less of those mini-electric shocks 
Alleviates snoring 
Soothed, less dry, lubricated mucous membranes in the nose and throat 
Prevents nose bleeds 
Can ease asthma but check with your doctor
Reduced dust 

Recommended humidity levels: 30-50% 
Remember: Humidity levels kept too high can also make things worse – think mold or mildew; keep the humidifier clean; cold humidifies may keep multiplication of bacteria and fungi more at bay than hot ones

Music | Female singer-songwriters №17: PJ Harvey

How could I forget!
Tsk tsk.
Ms Harvey!
Maybe a shy/calm flower in real life (many a creative is), she is not artistically. This petite lady is Man-Size and a 50-ft Queenie; she can howl with the best of them, then whisper and tell a good story or make a promise.
DOWN BY THE RIVER

A PLACE CALLED HOME
She’s got style.
She can rock. 
Yep, Man-Size 50-ft Queenie indeed … 
No no, she is more than that.
THIS IS LOVE
