Special Request....
all the way from Paris. "worried about you, you haven't posted... hoping your busy..."
I'm freezing. That simple. My apartment is an icebox, and I ran out of hot water this morning. My curls froze on my walk to work, and I stayed late at the office in tattered gloves. My body is hunched over and crumpled and my face is dry and chapped. AND I'm going to Montreal this weekend..... lovely. The fucking coldest city in the world. But I do have a hip jacket and hopefully my hostess has heating!
Where did we leave off? I saw "Children of Men" Saturday afternoon and its completely colored my weekend and week. Absolutely terrifying vision of a dystopian future (tomorrow). So frighteningly close to where we are now. Then you exit the theater and see everything around you heading in that direction, the advertisements, the callousness, the bullshit. Once you start looking (and I'm always looking, sometimes I just see it less) its hard to figure out why you are even putting one foot in front of the other to stare into a computer screen and cultivate skills that will never, ever help you to survive. Waiting in line to buy wine, I noticed the women in front of me carrying $1200 purses and wearing $700 boots because they Have to Have Them, and then clomping past blinking ads for reality tv about spoiled assholes, it is absolutely no wonder at all why we are such a target. We are disgusting.
That said... I'm not drinking myself silly and blowing a hole in my nose and lungs. Oh no. I've been listening to some great music - Gnarls Barkley is making me very happy, old school Nenah Cherry and Kriss Kross (mixes courtesy of cameraman) and looking at pretty pictures from my video. That's where I'm at. Working on my film which is a joy and a relief, spending lots of money on my bills... and wishing it would get warm so I can ride my bicycle and show off some skin!
