what an odd sized explosion
Having been fairly house bound trying to write this paper (finished the first half of the first section- so about a third of the way through then) so here lies a list of things keeping me sane and bringing a smile to my face:
- The new My Morning Jacket album.
- The American Anologue Set album (reminding me of Tortoise and my post rock days)
- Putting odd words and phrases and references in my work, for example Rosencrantz and Guilderstern, anchorage points, common threads and seldom. However, i have used 'infer' far to frequently.
- The Brick film trailer (www.focusfeatures.com/viewer.php?f=brick&c=trailer&ext=mov&w=480&h=270).
- Adverts, in particular the Orange dancing one (good things do indeed happen when you're phone is off) and the Renault Clio Britain/France one.
- Guacomole.
- The excellently titled 'kevin is gay' by Giant Drag (www.giantdrag.com/movies/kevin_is_gay.mov).
- The next month sees at leats two films a week i want to see (Brothers Grimm and Elizabethtown this week).
- Not being overloaded with stuff to do and actually relaxing. This week seems to be quiet.
- My Chemical Romance's I'm OK, a true guilty pleasure.
- KCRW radio sessions (Ben Lee, the Like and Death Cab for Cutie are current favourites).

comment not quite on target, but i've also found sleeping on the floor an excellent nights sleep - since the bizarre situation with robin's sleeping meant i've been sleeping on the floor on nothing but a duvet (double duvet wrapped over like a pitta bread/ falafel combination) i've become quite a fan of zero altitude sleeping. i might even go as far as to say i prefer it.
i s'pose a lovely geek with trendy hair and glasses is a good way of describing you too. i'm occasionally branded a geek at work, but i have difficult hair.
i no longer buy cd's, or certyainly not in the quantities i used to - i have however just bought the new iron & wine/ calexico album, "in the reins" after the hodge bought it round for me to listen to.

i remember a night in hospital ages ago where a bloke was snoring sincredibly loudly, he might as well have been shouting. so i went to the day room at the end of the corridor & slept on the floor with nothing but a couple of blankets. i had ear plugs on, & could still hear him snoring. i gave the cleaner a bit of a surprise in the morning.

I like focus, always pleased when I see their logo at the start of a film. James Schamus - co-president/founder guy (used to be co-boss of Good Machine with Ted Hope) - is really cool, way into film (as you'd hope really); at Good Machine, attempted to "judiciuosly play the managed growth game by trying to make sure we exist to make movies rather than make movies to exist" - a great quote that helps you understand the struggle of any indie. But now he's cosied up with a major as an in-house indie and they have a relatively huge budget and a lot of trust and freedom, which I think is amazing. They make good films. I wrote a bit about Focus in my disertation.
