jimmy's coming!

Jimmy's coming, Jimmy's coming!!! lock up your kids and pull the drapes folks, cause this town's gonna get dangerous!

k, probably not. Jimmy's pretty mild mannered really, and i've been more tired these days, so..

anyway,
last night i went to see dark knight! in my mind.

in reality, i sat on the couch and watched CSI whilst playing guitar again. i'm playing guitar a lot right now, cause i'm trying to rebuild those nasty callouses that i used to rock on both hands. they've been whittled away by months of not playing, and i've become a sissy picker. it's kindof like when you're a kid, and you get new skates, and so for those first few days, you just walk around the living room with your skates on cause you're trying to get your skates and your feet to meld to the point where it doesn't hurt to have them on for extended periods of time anymore? i'm basically holding a guitar anytime i'm around the apartment.. just playing random chords and lines as i watch TV, eat dinner, sleep, shower, brush my teeth, etc.

tonight is more VO work for River Knott.

kar and i were in the mall after church the other day and i was just floored by the realization of how much of a... vanity project the whole thing is. malls are rediculous. and yorkdale is rediculously rediculous. every store has these huge 40 ft hight posters of 23 year olds with freckles and HUGE sunglasses spending a sunday afternoon on a vintage yacht, laughing in a relaxed and unforced manner, the girls sitting on the back with a glass of dom, the guys keeping things under control in the front.

quick refresher. nobody does that. old men do that. and also, nobody looks like that. and also, who cares? and also, get over yourselves! i don't think i ever want to work with any of the people involved in that marketing campaign.

you spend an entire day in a mall like that trying to sidestep the dudes waddling around with their pants around their knees.

cool is such a non-issue. cool is absolutely not going to be obtained through active pursuit.

i best be aware of that. it's too easy to dive right in and join the masses in the pursuit of things that aren't important.


soo back to this weekend:

jimmy, bring a guitar. and also, your party hat!

see you soon!
