57 year old flailing about untethered.... She/her Pronouns don't bite. I do. If you support any Clinton unless it be George, get in the sea.

A hot young white man with tousled brown hair looks up in incomprehension. His right ankle is handcuffed to the bumper of a wrecked car. His bare right foot sits on the bumper. His black leather jacket is as wrinkled as his dark blue t-shirt. His tan jeans are dirty. But his white scarf is immaculate. The original Mad Max film will never be surpassed.
On a grey table in an airport, a pint glass sits. There is a ring of foam bubbles dissipating around the top of the glass below the pint line. It holds a delicious lager. I know it was delicious because while waiting for my connecting flight, I was sipping on it with relief. The flight there had been hell. So when I landed there, I asked the airport employee where the nearest beer was. She sent me here. G-d bless her.
On a rocky sea shore in a shallow pool, a brilliantly orange and umber and sienna (burnt) sea cucumber has rolled over to show its slimy endorsement of Andrew Cuomo.
A sunny cobblestoned Saturday afternoon in Prague. On Jan Palach square downtown, a young person sits on the ground. Under the LA cap, the befreckled face smiles slightly. One hand gives the peace sign and the other holds a sign that says, in Czech, Prague stands behind Los Angles. Underneath which, in English, it says Hands Off Democracy and Human Rights! Behind the young person, there are a bunch of people, some holding signs. All of them protesting the actions of the United States government.
Tim Curry, curls abobbing, struts gloriously down a red carpet towards the camera. Dr. Frankenfurter sports a sparkly black merry widow, a pear choker, and a pear anklet above black high heel sandals. Behold my youthful sexual awakening. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rocky_Horror_Picture_Show
A short-haired, mustachioed, middle aged black man in a tan suit, white shirt and striped tie looks directly at the camera and seems rather nonplussed. He is uttering a word his character, Clay Davis, became iconic for. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_Davis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wire
A rotund orangey white man with wispy chest hair protruding from his open shirt collar is letting forth a powerful burp that ripples his lips while his eyes goggle in a Marty Feldman manner. He holds a not empty beer mug in his left hand. This is Barney from The Simpsons. He is Homer's friend and drinking buddy from Mo's Bar.
Exterior fall scene. Green grass and a tree here and there whose remaining leaves are barely hanging on. There is a large turbine dead center of which a middle-aged woman is standing - completely dwarfed. That was me in 2015 standing in the middle of a massive turbine that makes me look like a tiny doll.
A small, red 1978 RCA portable television that looks like its knobs make really loud clicking sounds as you force them to turn to your preferred station of the three available.
On Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Cardassian tailor Elim Garak (on the Defiant?) played by Andrew Robinson is seated at a console and swivels his chair to face the camera saying - I always hope for the best. Experience, unfortunately, has taught me to expect the worst.
A 1972 movie poster for Frogs showing a picture of a green frog with a person's hand coming from its mouth as though it has just eaten a human. The ad says - A tidal wave of slithering, slimy horror devouring, destroying all in its path! ...A terrifying story of times to come when Nature strikes back! Actors - Ray Milland, Sam Elliott, Joan Van Ark, Adam Roarke and Judy Pace, with Lynne Borden, Mae Mercer, David Gilliam and Nicholas Cortland
James Earl Jones as First Lieutenant Lothar Zogg in a black and white bomber as the bombardier.
A black silhouette of a bespectacled monkey sitting calmly and reading a book.
A pasty white, bespectacled skinny woman hoisting a half finished pint of lager in front of a lovely wood paneled wall. She has long-ish henna dyed hair and is making a weird face. This was me and beer in Prague 3. My friends grabbed this shot without warning me so I have a weird, goofy look on my face. Ok, goofier.
Black and white banner apparently over a storefront says: Christians keep moving. This is a heathen neighborhood.
A handsome and confused man with one bare foot, lies on his back with his ankle chained to a wreck that still has some gas in the tank. He is wearing a black leather jacket, tan pants and tan leather gloves, and a nice cream scarf. Off camera there may be a hacksaw he can cut through the handcuff chain with in ten minutes. However, if he is lucky, he can cut through his ankle in five. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_Max_(film)
A boy in a billowing jacket is riding a bike through the air with an alien in the basket. He is silhouetted by the massive silvery moon behind them as a spray of blood spurts red from the back of his head. The alien is not E.T.
A smoky tabby curled up and sleeping just where my computer mouse should be. Teefies peek out from her mouth as she snores blissfully. Mu mouse is just to the right and wooden desk and parquet wooden floor are in the background.
An African-American man front and center stares drolly at someone in front and slightly above him. He has short hair and a moustache and is dressed in a snazzy maroon jacket, red shirt and slightly orange tie. He is wearing small gold hoop earrings. K. Todd Freeman as Mr. Trick from Buffy the Vampire Slayer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith%2C_Hope_%26_Trick
Foreground - a pasty white black-clad brunette in his thirties with parted lips and pointy canines slightly visible, appears to be offering a slightly tarnished metal bowl to someone ahead and slightly above him. Background - a blurred congregation of pasty folks likewise clad in black watches him. Dougray Scott in Perfect Creature (2006) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_Creature
A very white vampire with teased brown hair and strawberry blond highlights grimaces as he looks towards the person who plunged the stake (a school ruler?) into his chest. He is wearing a very 1990s black leather jacket and a red shirt about to get redder. This is a long, long death scene. Paul Reubens (Pee-Wee Herman) as Amilyn in the 1992 Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer_(film)
At the end of a metallic hallway in a space ship, a spherical alien awaits. Its yellowy clawed and webbed feet tap on the floor in impatience as its yellow spotted red flesh quivers. A human hand in the foreground is offering it its favorite treat. Dark Star (1974) by John Carpenter, the Master himself was only his second feature length film. It is a hilarious satire of space movies and philosophical twaddle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Star_(film)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cars_That_Ate_Paris A black and white photo of what appears to be a VW Bug parked on asphalt. The Bug rom the late 60s or early 70s. However, this Bug is special. It is bristling with spikes (approx. 30cm / 12 in.). It is as if someone anticipated the punk scene and its need for appearing tough. This vehicle means business. From Peter Weir's The Cars that Ate Paris (1974)
In the front seat of a car that is eerily glowing a cool, luminous jade, Otto (Emilio Estevez in the background) and Miller (Tracey Walter in the foreground driver's seat), who used to work for a vehicle repossession company, sit in wonder at this car and its ability to maneuver and even fly. The vehicle takes off and flies them over night Los Angeles. They view the city as they may never have before - spread out below them like a sparkling blanket of jewels. They shoot off to travel among the stars. The life of a repo man is always intense. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repo_Man_(film)
Through a pebbled glass surface smudged with blood and illuminated from behind there are the silhouettes of three pairs of hands of people who appear to be on their hands and knees above you. They are much too close to one another as if someone had experimented in sewing their intestinal tracts together from one end to another (mouth to anus and so on and so on and so on.) The ostensible lead of this, what one may call human centipede, is apparently howling in open-mouthed horror (one can gather from the deep shadow of its mouth and eyes.) It is wearing a Santa hat at a jaunty, devil-may-care angle.
Fires on The Plain by Shohei Ooka (1951) A four color landscape of the Philippines of the Second World War with two palm trees and a few scattered simple one-floor buildings in the midground. The smoke of fires rises in the background grey against the blood-orange sky into the looming, wrung-out white clouds above. In the foreground among jungle grasses stands a Japanese soldier holding his rifle in his right hand, looking ahead of him to our left...at what, we cannot guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fires_on_the_Plain_(novel)
Theater poster of the 1987 John Carpenter film Prince of Darkness. The old church is in the center with the mysterious figure coming out of entrance bathed in the luminous and eerie pee green light emanating from the entire building. In an arc around the top of the building, the various characters are drawn in action with Donald Pleasance in pride of place - dead center as the whack job priest whose wild prophetic beliefs are proven to be too horribly true.
Stencil graffiti found on an exterior fuse box in Prague 7. A devil is smiling impishly in semi-profile while bent over and looking over his shoulder to the right. A cloud of gas is being expelled from between his butt cheeks under his upraised tail. He aims to make mischief.
From the stop-motion animation of 1964 Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer. A felted looking Rudolph stands to the left looking right and showing his gumdrop glowing red nose to his elf friend, Hermey, the misfit elf who wants to be a dentist (because he is shit at making toys.)
Large white old-timey banner stating proudly in large black capital letters the warning CHRISTIANS KEEP MOVING THIS IS A HEATHEN NEIGHBORHOOD.
A giant neon red-orange arc of letters spells out ON THE AIR above a broadcast tower on top of a classic art deco building ala the Empire State building. The broadcast tower is sparking, sending its broadcast wide out into the dark, star-strewn sky in the background. In the foreground, the orangey words say created by MARK FROST and DAVID LYNCH.
The New Legends of Monkey is a tv show based on the Journey to The West story from China. Here, from left to right, are its heroes - 1) Pigsy, a stout, bearded handsome god holding a rake, 2) Monkey, a young, brunette and somewhat muscular handsome god wearing a small gold crown and looking intent, 3) Tripitaka, a slight brunette young woman dressed as a monk and looking serious, 4) Sandy, a white haired young god holding a polearm with a crescent shaped blade while looking askance at the camera.
Black and white photo, perhaps from the 60s, of a woman with short black hair in a checkered coat and solid color scarf. She is looking directly at the camera and has a large, closed mouth. With the one very large eye in the middle of her forehead, is staring at the camera in what seems like expectation.
Town Hall Liquor Bar sign in front of a crappy liquor bar that served crappy liquor on Route 1. Photo taken at twilight shows the red roof, tan walls and illuminated signage. Luckily, it also shows an empty parking lot.
Elderly gentleman seated at a restaurant table and, having just been served his meal, is now looking into an open briefcase to select from his collection of different dentures (one with buckteeth, one serrated, one kinda rodentine and one rather...fangy.)
