I think that today I am not going to be able to finish everything that's on my to-do list.
I got started too late in the day (1230PM). (Didn't leave Queens til 930AM. Then I had to go to Goodwill. And then I had to go home, eat, shower, get my laptop and stuff.)
And now I've got such a bad headache.
But I wanted to let you know that I started reading Sons and Lovers by D.H. Lawrence. (I finished reading The Hotel New Hampshire. It was good. It was good because I enjoyed reading it. And I read it quickly.)
There are two parts that were interesting because they reminded me of myself:
1. "I suppose he was a workman who has got on," she said. "You mustn't mind people so much. They're not being disagreeable to you---it's their way. You always think people are meaning things for you. But they don't."
2. Poor Fanny was morbidly sensitive, always imagining insults.
I've been a bit neurotic lately. Too much.
And I haven't really been expressing these feelings to many people because most of the people are too chill/mellow to relate.
But I prefer that because that's better than being around a bunch of OTHER neurotic people.
I'd rather be around people who are going to keep me grounded.
Some of this book's characters are just reminding me of myself a bit, though---in regards to how I can instantly just hate somebody, even though I don't REALLY hate them. (The author writes that a lot in the book---about how they'll hate someone instantly.)
Like... someone can be around me, talking and I'll just want them gone forever.
Or they can look at me a certain way while I'm talking to them...
I don't know what my deal is.
Maybe I'm on my period.
Here, listen to this song:
The Slits are one of my favorite bands.
P.S.
I don't know what happened to my left hand's knuckles.
The hair is all poke-y (pokey? poky? sp?) like I shaved it or something. Maybe I accidentally burned it off or something while lighting something. Who knows.
It DOES sorta feel good.
P.P.S.
I'm excited about this summer because Ben J. is going to work for RuffeoHeartsLil'Snotty and I.
We're going to share him.
Ben's good with patternmaking and things like that. They'll need him for that, I think.
I need him because he's awesome. And he's my very good friend.
Hi.
Today I cried.
And then I felt so sick of crying I felt like vomiting.
And then I had all this snot running outta my nose.
And then I took photographs of these hot skeins of yarn I spun on my drop spindle.
(The fiber is from Hobbledehoy, with whom I did a trade. She's great.)
All right.
That is all.
Transmission complete.
Self-portrait Thursday!
I've been up since 3AM sorta.
These were taken around 4:30 or so.
I sorta wish actors were limited to performing in one movie only. That way, one's flawless performance in one movie wouldn't be able to be messed with/disrupted by another performance of theirs. What I mean is that an actor shouldn't be allowed to go "Hollywood" after doing something so great before that. Or something like that. An example that comes to mind right now is Scarlett Johansson: she was great in "Ghost World" and "Lost in Translation", but she's totally gone Hollywood, and now she disturbs me. My view of those two movies are forever fucked with.
However, that's not the main example I have in mind. What I'm really referring to is Sidney Poitier in "A Raisin in the Sun":
I saw this film for the first time the other night, and I must say that it was so, so, so very great. Seriously. Everyone in that movie was wonderful. I almost started to cry at the end because it was so---and please forgive me for being cliche---powerful. I liked it so much that I looked up more info about it and the actors. But I probably shouldn't have done so---mainly in the case of Sidney Poitier: now his performance in the movie is just great, but then I saw that he had directed "Ghost Dad" with Bill Cosby in 1990. And that made me sad because "Raisin" was so good and so was Poitier! "Ghost Dad" was so stupid! And now when I think of "Raisin in the Sun", I have to think of Poitier, thirty years later, making such a dumb movie.
I dunno...does this make any sense?
I know I really don't want there to be such a rule imposed on actors, but, seriously..."Ghost Dad"?
Scarlet Johannson?
