Some Randomness...

Violet is starting to talk! She says "peeeze" and "up" and "Eat" and a host of others. It's sooo cute! But she's getting so big my baby is turning into a little girl :( That's o.k. I guess. It's exciting to watch her grow.

Stacy is not happy with her job and has been looking for something else. Problem is she is a great teacher and kids really gravitate towards her...but it's mostly the adults she is fed up with. I hope she finds something she really enjoys doing...but that's hard to do with jobs. I HATE JOBS...so much that I think no matter what I did I would grow to dislike going to work, just because I have to be there. Some people say if you get a job you really love you will always be excited to go to work. I think thats bogus, at least for me. Well maybe if writing music was my job...I could dig that!

Trying to find time to watch films now is hard but here's a couple of thoughts on things I've seen...

GI JOE - previously I wrote a blog about how excited I was....well that was stupid. This movie is shit. Not "the" shit...just shit. I mean the kid from 3rd rock from the sun is Cobra Commander???!?? Thats just ridiculous. This is the let down of the decade.

SAW VI - It was alright...attacking the insurance companies keeps with hot topics but...I don't know what to say. It was a SAW film. If you've seen one you get it. I liked it.

UNDECLARED series - Fun, silly, hilarious - but not quite as good as FREAKS AND GEEKS. But then what is? I still recomend it highly.


thats it for me. imout.

The broken shreds of narrow roads...and other tales of boredom.

I am the red silhouette. Under the tree of design that constitutes the very mold from which we sprang. I am the adolescent screams of rage that penetrate the cement walls of basements everywhere. I am the daughters of discontent sewing their sleeves long enough to conceal a knife and wishing with their whole hearts that anchors would fall. Never have I been so terribly blank as to say "hello, some weather we're having." and yet never have I been so filled up to actually remember a thing or two. So why am I writing this and what does it mean. I don't fucking know...

After J.D. Salinger died I heard a radio program discussing "what book changed your life". This got me thinking about movies (as does everything else). So I wondered what film changed my life or more succinctly, what film made such an impression that it has altered my perception and stayed in the forfront of my mind since I first saw it.
Now , like all pseudo intellectual 30somethings, I would love to say it was Godard's "Breathless" or Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai", Hell, even Fincher's "Fight Club" that drilled it's way past pop culture into the meaty center of my brain and altered my very foundation.
HOWEVER...it is none of those, nor the expansive list of films of social and celuloid relevence I have seen; but a fun, silly little jem called "BILL and TED'S Excellent Adventure."
Yes it's true...and all who know me know that it's true. Not even Romero's "Dead" franchise has created so much excitement, wonder, and happiness in me. I quote the film constantly. Watch it endlessly, and enjoy it more each time. The only film that may take it's place would be..."Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey".

P.S. That book that changed my life? Again...I'd like to say it was Dostoevsky's "Notes From Underground" or Howard Zinn's "Peoples History of the United States" or Hell, even "Fight Club" but it was not. The book was "Bill and Ted comic book no. 1" - JUST KIDDING...it was actually Jim Thompson's "The Killer Inside Me" and that ain't no shit.
