Blur - You’re So Great
Today’s obsession is Blur. Again.
Coachella’s lineups are always so good.
I'm in the picture business, I make pictures
We just got back from our meeting with the producers/production company that liked out script. While trying not get ahead of ourselves, we’re happy to say that they want to move forward with it and will be sending us a contract along with reviewing our second draft in the coming month.
Needless to say, this is huge for us and tonight, we’re celebrating this victory.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh SNAP! CONGRATS.
Later Chicago. I hope I’ll come back from Michigan refreshed from feeling like you need to burn to the ground (again). Tumble on, tumblrs. I’m going where the skies are clear and solitude makes a solid dude. See ya when I see ya.
I’m heading off soon for Alpena. If you happen to find yourself there as well, you should most definitely get ahold of me. We can drink and do donuts in a parking lot, scam on the hometown ghoulies, shoot things, or get in a police chase through town. Of course, I wouldn’t do any of that except, maybe, shoot things. Let’s hang.
Saturday night after we got back from the bar. Highlights include…
Nick Hartman.
Jesse asking Jolene and I “What the fuck is wrong with you guys!?”
Jolene and I defending Jersy Shore because there is in fact, something wrong with us.
This is fucking great. I love you Nick. I mean, I love you ALOT. For everyone else, wait till 3:30ish and understand why I love him.
John Prine - Crazy As A Loon
Back before I was a movie star
Straight off of the farm
I had a picture of another man’s wife
Tattooed on my arm
With a pack of Camel cigarettes
In the sleeve of my tee shirt
I’m headin’ out to Hollywood
Just to have my feelings hurt
That town will make you crazy
Just give it a little time
You’ll be walking ‘round in circles
Down at Hollywood and Vine
You’ll be waitin’ on a phone call
At the wrong end of a broom
Yes, that town’ll make you crazy
Crazy as a loon
So, I headed down to Nashville
To become a country star
Every night you’d find me hangin’
At every honky-tonk and bar
Pretty soon I met a woman
Pretty soon she done me wrong
Pretty soon my life got sadder
Than any country song
That town will make you crazy
Just give it a little time
You’ll be walking ‘round in circles
Lookin’ for that country rhyme
You’ll be waitin’ on a phone call
At the wrong end of a broom
Yea, that town’ll make you crazy
Crazy as a loon
So, I gathered up my savvy
Bought myself a business suit
I headed up to New York City
Where a man can make some loot
I got hired Monday morning
Downsized that afternoon
Overcome with grief that evening
Now I’m crazy as a loon
So I’m up here in the north woods
Just staring at a lake
Wondering just exactly how much
They think a man can take
I eat fish to pass the time away
‘Neath this blue Canadian moon
This old world has made me crazy
Crazy as a loon
Lord, this world will make you crazy
Crazy as a loon
Exchanged Christmas presents with friends last night. I got:
a Pittsburgh Penguins tote-bag
Michael Symon’s new cookbook (he is ridiculously sexy, even though I will never use his meat-filled recipes)
The Office season five
the criterion collection version of The Royal Tenenbaums (it’s glorious)
Little Joy on vinyl
a William Shakespeare finger puppet magnet
The Man Who Ate Everything by Jeffrey Steingarten
a sock monkey (what is this I don’t even…)Also, I have one gift coming, and that is The Mysterious Production of Eggs on vinyl from Kristin. Although Noble Beast is my favorite (this week at least), she wanted to get me that one since it was the first album of his I shared with her (although I sent her “Anonanimal” first) and it inspired her “new favorite read” (that requires an explanation, I suppose). It’s currently in transit, so when it comes, Kristin and I are having an Andrew Bird listening party. Since you know, I got Noble Beast and Armchair Apocrypha in the mail yesterday. Oh man, vinyl changes the way everything sounds.
I feel like we could be great friends based on most of these things. Except, of course, the Pitt Penguins bag. You need to get one with a wheel and a wing!
Not this time, Cusack. Not this time.
The Chicago School of Guitar Making - Tube Amplifier Building Workshop, Tube Amp Kits
Um, yes of course i’d love to take a class on how to build my own Fender Twin Reverb!
