Although saddened by the loss of Jam Master Jay, I had a nice long weekend. On Halloween I saw Medeski Martin & Wood down at the Hammerstein Ballroom. DJ Spooky's "Optometry" opened (Spooky, Matthew Shipp, William Parker, Guillermo Brown, and Daniel Bernard Roumain) along with the incredible Smokey and Miho. Both acts were incredible and I had planned to see Smokey and Miho again on saturday down at Tonic, but the plans fell apart. Medeski Martin & Wood were incredible as usual. They way they do things is truly unique. I always come out of their shows ultra inspired.

Saturday I got to visit with my good friend Peter who flew back from Boulder to visit for a month. He moved there last year and we used to be great friends. Sunday has remained a day for me to get better (cough sniffle) and watch Chinatown. What a terrific movie that is. Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway are brilliant together.

QUESTION OF THE DAY:

Is it a good thing to censor the real world from children?

i saw chinatown before i was ready. it's quite deep and i couldn't follow it. i should give it another shot. i do, however, like another jack nicholson film involving boulder colorado... yeah, the shining. a damn good film. damn good

I think that violence should be censored from children more than sex. I never understand why some parents freak over some nude scene but still let their kids watch tons of gore. What kind of message does that send? It's twisted.

You're right, this site is a godsend of sorts...for anyone who is re-adjusting to a social environment, I think. I'm back in my hometown after a long absence and I feel like I'm starting over in so many way, esp. socially. I've been working on making new friends but it's hard, of course. This place is valuable to me, in that I can meet cool people quicker than in real life...but I still need to meet more people in real life...so it's not a real substitute, just a hold-over of sorts, you know? Although if I get involved in some of the SG gatherings it might become more...

So....no comment on my Mulholland Drive interpretation? Just curious to see what you thought of it...
