My Aim Remains
My Aim Remains
First I want so say thank you to everyone who has continued to keep in touch with me; especially BlueChair, Miss Buenos Aires and Sp00ky Girlfriend.
Taz.....Why do I not have your email!?!?!
Noiseradio?
I remain humbled by my good fortune in these past few months. Lelia and I had the day off and were going to go to Dollywood (cue snickering) but the weather was not cooperating so we shopped around for our next apartment. We want to get a house, but we both need to be working full time for that to fly. Mostly, we want to get the fuck out of the place we are currently living in. Too many of our neighbors are prone to domestic disputes at ungodly hours.
Some movies, music and books I've been into lately-
Sentimental Hygiene. I think this might be the best Warren Zevon album ever. I think of Bluechair and Bambooneedle when I hear his INSANE Springsteen raveup, The Factory. Boom Boom Mancini and Reconsider Me are also startlingly good.
Timequake. It's not Breakfast of Champions or even Mother Night, but Kurt is still the coolest American writer since Thurber.
Spellbound. Thanks to a certain Bob Dylan song, I am a lifelong Gregory Peck fan. This is a very interesting Hitchcock film with a lovely performance by Ingrid Bergman and a truly inspired dream sequence.
Hedwig & The Angry Inch. I was a latecomer to this film but was blown away by it all the same. Better late than never.
Akira Kurosawa's Dreams. Absolutely hypnotic even if the Martin Scorcese cameo is a bit jarring.
Tender Is The Night. This has to be my favorite Fitzgerald novel.
I apologize for the randomness (in more ways than one!) of this post.

Oh My God - was that funny or what? I waited for weeks on that when I saw the previews. That was the biggest scream! You liked it too, Poppet?
You know, it was especially funny as I have always lived in the South. But I thought he was very kind and appreciative and I think he REALLY enjoyed being there.

El Vez, my mother's people are from Maryville/Alcoa TN. still have relatives there.
and i'm serious, i do want to go to Dollywood. Went to Opryland when i was a teenager, and i could NOT appreciate it. i now know better.
youth is so freakin' wasted on the young.
best wishes for the home search! i have fantasies of moving to Chattanooga when i finish school - Lookout Mtn ROCKS.

Poppet-
We live on Alcoa in what could be called the poor side of town. It's driving us crazy because we are so ready to get a bigger place, get a dog and have a kitchen two people can occupy.
Saw Dolly on The Today Show singing a really bad (like, Lee Greenwood bad) patriotic ditty. Dolly Parton is a truly great talent but I cringe whenever she does corny, schmaltzy stuff like that.

yeah, alcoa is the dump and maryville the nice side. i've never lived there (i might have spent months there when i was very small, but don't remember) but visited often. hey, my stuckup aunts were born in alcoa! i'd tease them, but they're long gone now.
all that country music listening i was forced to do as a kid sunk in. i LOVE bluegrass, and roots country.
oh, dang, i went and looked up house ads for chattanooga. for a girl used to boston prices, they're *disgustingly cheap*. scary, but true.
