raybear | Hey, what did we learn today kids?

From the past couple days, I've discovered:

1) Several people in my life, not necessarily related, are on a Twin Peaks renaissance, specifically the part where Agent Cooper tapes messages to Diane. It's contagious. On the train this morning I said jokingly in my brain "Diane, I dreamt that my subconscious had children. Remind me to look into birth control at the imagination pharmacy."

2) If white liberal guilt is one side of a coin, the other side is "black people love me!" phenomenon.

3) Last night I watched Talk to Her and the night before I watched Punch-Drunk Love. While I'm a big fan of interesting quirky weird beautifully-filmed fcked-up character type movies, seeing too much of them suddenly makes the movie Bad Boys II look appealing.

4) I supposedly chose the name "Raymond" randomly, but later many connections to the name from childhood started to surface. Last night I realized that my DJ name of Boywonder (and drag name of Wonderboy) came partially from Roy Hobbs's bat in The Natural. I had forgotten that connection. I know the name DJ Boywonder implies a strong Batman and Robin influence, but I really don't have one.

5) I love baseball movies and know way more about the game and its history than I thought, but I don't watch baseball games at all nor do I have any team affiliations (no matter how often I wear a Yankees cap).

6) If you buy the As Seen on TV album called "Totally Hip Hop", you can dance around the room and pretend you're at one of my Kingdom Come gigs at Circuit. Seriously. I play two-thirds of those songs in my mix. I'm not sure if I'm flattered or embarassed.
