Perverse Osmosis basement show at the Owl Cave, B’More, Maryland.

Shh, don’t tell anyone but PO is getting together next weekend to do some lights for our longtime friends The Flying Eyes and production work for a polar bear plunge [not using actual polar bears]. More importantly, we are playing a limited version of Vale of the Basilisk. Sure, we don’t know how the songs go or the order of the dungeon, but lack of skill or knowledge has never stopped us before.

Also, in honor of hating Vermont less, I recently re-read Lovecraft’s “A Whisperer in Darkness,” which is set in the dark hills of VT. It is not difficult to tell that Lovecraft was a fellow city slicker. There are some great lines about how going into the mountains is like going back in time, and I do not disagree.

Hey all Osmosites:

Enjoy your end of the year festivities. 2011 pretty much sucked, so let’s hope for a better 2012.

One of my resolutions: smoking more cigarettes

Episode six of Twin Peaks offers us the visit to One Eyed Jacks, some more Audrey Horne smoking, Waldo the mynah bird, Hank Jennings, and Cooper in a tux. No one can doubt that TP had lots of plots occurring simultaneously.

Please note that she is smoking in the closet here.

Chet gets ready to end the reign of that damned Montana.

“Nice suit Ed.”

One of the best pieces of advice in all of TV history: “Harry, I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Everyday, once a day, give yourself a present. Don’t plan it, don’t wait for it, just let it happen.”

Audrey Horne eats a cherry:

Episode five of Twin Peaks features the Icelanders, or, as Cooper calls them, “a large group of insane men.” We also get owls, lots of Log Lady, some classic stupid Bobby Briggs, and Audrey Horne half naked.

Dr. Jacoby makes Bobby cry.

Audrey lets that assistant manager know what is up:

Well, Ms. Horne, I see that I have caught you unaware:

The owls won’t see us in here.

Episode four of Twin Peaks has classic Deputy Brennan, Hank Jennings, some of my favorite lines, and lots of Audrey Horne smoking a cigarette.

The Log Lady drops this pearl in the introduction:
Are we being introduced against our will?

The amazing Dr. Jacoby:

Agent Cooper, the problems of our entire society are of a sexual nature.

Chet and Jade and Emerald invite you.

As usual, what we really came here for: Audrey Horne smoking:

I will end this post with my favorite Cooper line:
Gentlemen, when two separate events occur simultaneously pertaining to the same object of inquiry, we must always pay strict attention
