I know that feeling I am always feeling like that! But hey its Autumn, well here anyway and its lovely!
1.) What's your favorite thing to do, to relax? Come on SG, yeah lame I know!
2.) Did you see Jon Stewart on "Crossfire"? What did you think? Nope
3.) What's your favorite movie that was taken from a novel, or short story? Secretary
4.) What's your favorite "rainy day" music? Tom Waits or Patsy Cline
5.) What's the most inebriated (drunk) you've ever been? Jesus, I cant remember...that is how drunk I was
1. I have to agree with Charley; I stopped watching TV and renting movies. I just go on SG and IM all night every night.
2. I had never watched Tucker Carlson. From his attire, I'd always assumed he was a well-bahaved guy... so was quite surprised to read the transcript (didn't see the video) and see he called Jon Stewart Kerry's "butt boy." "Butt boy," huh? Funny, cuz I thought Jon Stewart was funny and smart, and all these news talk assholes were assholes. I see now that I was right all along; big surprise. I hate the "conservatives" (who are conserving nothing, destroying our society and planet) in this country so much that I'm beginning to contemplate the benefits of assault weapons being legal now. Faux News Channel, I'm talking about you.
3. Weren't they all taken from books? I mean, there's so many... everything from Clockwork Orange to Willy Wonka. One of the things I learned in Anthony Burgess's autobio is that for a while in the '60s it was seriously considered to have the Rolling Stones play Alex and the gang.... yes, Mick Jagger replacing Malcolm McDowell. That.... was not a good idea.
To more directly answer your question-- I loved both the movie and book of Catch 22. I saw the film when I was young, then read the book about 5 years ago, then re-watched the movie.... there was enough forgotten, and enough changed between the two, that nothing was spoiled for me and I greatly enjoyed both. I'm glad to say Heller liked the movie, too. Alan Arkin, Martin Sheen, Jon Voigt, Art Garfunkle, Bob Balaban, Richard Benjamin, even Orson... what's not to like?
4. Oh, all those rain songs... "Riders on the Storm"... "The Rain Song"... "Love Rain O'er Me."
5. I don't really think I've done crazy shit like you. I either get drunk, say dumb stuff, and don't get sick, or say dumb stuff then get sick... no real broken doors or pottery or cars in my past, so it's hard to say which episode was drunker than which.
ps - I like small-batch bourbon, but not that small. Go for Elijah Craig, next time, dude. 12 years old and smells like bay rum.
Oh, by the way - that you're wearing in the drunk pic? I have that hat, too!
woo hoo....urban outfitters. personally i prefer my top hat, but people look at me funny where i were it, so i usually just wear it while at home doing dishes/cleaning litter box/looking at suicidegirls.
Heheheh. That's actually pretty damn funny. S'okay though. I've had plenty of friends/acquaintances in bands and that's an all-too common story. So long as it's for a friend's party and not a real paying gig. And the fact that hes a bandmate pretty much makes it a given that you treat friends and fans to a drunken session.
Thats cool about seeing the kid and finding your spirits suddenly lifted. Thats one of those little I dunno, blessings for lack of a better word that you just have to appreciate without question. Sometimes theyre all we have to get us through the rough patches And Im getting to know the malaise that comes with seeing thirty on the horizon very well.
1. I tend to be a walker myself. That or drinking.
2. Funny, as I JUST saw it! Youll have to forgive my cynicism of all things government/media & entertainment, and while I certainly appreciated the jabs he got in, I was reminded of perhaps the smartest thing Bob Dole ever said (and I paraphrase) Washington D.C. is Hollywood for ugly people. (Hmmm I seem to remember also using that quote last week I guess the election cycle has it echoing in my skull.)
3. Hmmm Thats a tough one. Do I get rapped in the mouth if I say Lord of the Rings? Cause I have to admit, I enjoyed the movies far more than reading the books. After that, probably Psycho.
4. It changes, but Air has been a constant buttress.
5. Oh man Actually, Ill refer you to my journal entry of October 10th. That was a moment of rare form, I must say.
1.) What's your favorite thing to do, to relax? Music, play, sing, listen, watch, whatever with music..............or just a good massage give or receive.
2.) Did you see Jon Stewart on "Crossfire"? What did you think? Negative
3.) What's your favorite movie that was taken from a novel, or short story? HMM, Disco Bloodbath (aka Party Monster) I think
4.) What's your favorite "rainy day" music? I dont really no if I chage music with moods, I guess I do but I never noticed.
5.) What's the most inebriated (drunk) you've ever been? Valentines Day Umm 99, not sure how a sugar cane and coconut came into play but it did.
Man we need to hang out sometime, so I can show you the Russian Vodka shots
Have you ever heard of Scarrling? I think they are playing pretty much from California, but am unsure. Seeing the bands name it made me think of Scarrling. If not its a band led by Jessika from Jack Off Jill. I haven't heard their stuff yet, but really want to. What kind of muic does your band play? Not trying to catergorize you, just curious. And BTW you don't look bad at all drumming. Sweaty guys are hot!!!
You look pretty damn good actually.
I'll take a spin on your thing.
