I keep thinking of things that I want to tell you about but always forget them when I sit down at the computer to write, and always end up just talking about the things that are resting on the very top of the pile of things sitting on the desk of STUFF in my head.
So sitting on the very top of the pile today is Punch Drunk Love, a movie with Adam Sandler being serious (something that I've always thought he could do quite well, funny people are usually introspective, sensitive, shy and emotionally intelligent) and some quite beautiful music by Jon Brion (same guy who wrote the music for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - in the words of my film scoring lecturer, he's a 'shit hot composer'). It was a beautiful film with camerawork that I a) actually noticed, and b) thought was just so gorgeous, in a scary fragile way, just like the character of Barry. The score needless to say was really great too and reminded me of some of the stuff we do at uni sometimes...There was a really beautiful series of scenes in Hawaii, which of course reminded me of the time the Bradys went for Mike's work...
(I made another new flower crown. I've decided to make a range of crowns for everyday use - I have so many HUGE ones that just become obstructive when I'm at uni and at band and being generally active.)
Of course ALL the cool profound things I was going to write about have escaped me, as usual; I think I might have accidentally given myself a cold just by talking about that time I listened to Insomnia by Washington... and all this terrible wind and rain, bed looks so appealing!
Dreamy...
Anyway to conclude this going-nowhere post, my beautiful sunshine friend Elle Graham is playing a gig at the Toff in Town on the 19th of August, which is the day after our single launch. You should come because Elle is lovely and makes the most gorgeously delicate and pretty songs ever. OK!
