raybear: (...and that's Miss Barbra Streisand)

can I get a witness?

I'm not sure why I opened this window since I really don't have anything exciting to say. Maybe I was hoping inspiration would pour out of me at the sight of the "Event:" box. Or perhaps I just assumed my capacity to be verbose would come through. Let's place bets on the latter, shall we?

Last night I finally watched the movie "Backstage" (and by the way, [livejournal.com profile] wearemany, I loved the blowup-while-getting-a-hair-cut scene. And it was indeed, Damon Dash, the CEO of Roc-a-fella.) The film was highly entertaining though I wonder if it would be for folks who aren't as familiar with all the artists. I guess [livejournal.com profile] nineinchlovely can answer that, since he was along for the ride.

Tonight I'm very excited by my lack of plans. I may perchance get motivated to see a movie in the theater, but for the most part I won't be leaving the house and will limit interacting with anyone. Except for the person who puts up with me on a regular basis and still loves me when I'm being grumpy and anti-social. Or even just tired and ready to zone out, which is a more accurate description.

As much as I love being social and hanging out with people, it's currently hindering other processes in my life. I don't want to totally be a hermit either -- I just need to learn better balance. Also, lately I've also felt less compelled to stay in bed for long periods of time -- I only want to get in bed at night when I'm ready to fall asleep, and in the morning I don't want to be in bed for too long after I wake up. I feel more energetic and a need to be active and get things accomplished. But I'm still running out of time. I feel like the White Rabbit, but without a specific event or very important date. I'm just constantly late. I don't like it. I'm taking back my time.

Perhaps this is why suddenly after 4 months of going without, I finally feel I need to replace my watch.

You know. I was only able to pick maybe half of those guys out of a crowd before seeing that. But then again I can apparently sit through no end of music docs, no matter the genre, no matter the subject. And very rarely do they have such priceless Godfather tributes slapped down in the middle of them. So there's that.

Did you read Untitled (The End)? Things I stole from Backstage most notably include, I think, Chris throwing a potato chip at the camera and yelling, "The revolution will not be televised, motherfucker!" But really all of it was some strange combo homage to this, Don't Look Back, Hard Core Logo and the hundreds (thousands?) of hours spent watching MTV and VH1.

I only WISH I were there to bother you. But I know what you mean. I blew off calling KR back last night (who got our message, finally called me on Wednesday night) because I was all ennui-ish. That shit just hit me.

xoxoxo.

Right. I started thinking in the middle there about how I have to move all my files from one site to the other and fucked up the URL. Untitled (The End). because there is no amount of self-pimping i won't stoop too, and i don't know how to edit comments.
