Eau de Odelay

Nothing much to say, but hey, that's never stopped me before....

Got to hear the new Beck song again - E-Pro (from Guero) and it is just fantastic. It has the same feel as Where It's At (from Odelay) and is just a hell of alot of fun. I decided I liked it about 12 seconds into it. I may need to buy the CD. I am famous for buying CDs after hearing one song then never listening to them again. Maybe I won't buy it. But I did just get in the latest Beta Band CD. I'm sure you'll rest easier knowing that.

You know, a funny thing happened while proclaiming that I did not like Johnny Depp. I learned that I actually DO like him. The guy has such a quirky demeanor. I'm so far out of the loop that I'm 34 by the time that I actually realize the guy can act. All this time I thought the hype was because of his looks which aren't of any particular interest to me - guess what one person finds appealing, another ignores. I am drawn to disarray, so perhaps that is why I find him attractive when he is moderately disheveled and bemused. Once Upon a Time in Mexico had me laughing SO very hard, mostly because his lines were somewhat inappropriate and goofy. Think there is a chance of me being somewhat backward myself?

By weeks end, one of my Pharmacists and my Director will be gone. The new Director will step in and I will most likely be a tightly wound, impatient (more than usual), frantic little bitch. On the bright side, PMS will not rear it's ugly head during this time - lives will be saved. I have little tolerence for the ass-kissing that often accompanies these changing of the guard ceremonies. Blech. I just don't have it in me. I'm coming down off of a manic/hypomanic episode and feel like the inflatable swimming pool toy that someone has let the air out of - cast aside, halfway in the shrubbery. There's a little air left for the sole purpose of retaining the general shape, but short of that, I am depleted. And now, I have to play nice. Ever want to revert back to being 5 when throwing a fantastic temper tantrum was acceptable? Yeah...me too.

Here's something I just need to get off my bondage porn star (see previous post) chest... when you are approaching oncoming traffic at night, it is more than acceptable to shut your fucking brights off when nearing a distance of 500 feet. You do NOT need to wait for your headlights to glaze over the oncoming vehicle's windshield, saturating every square inch of the interior, effectively searing the retinas of the other driver. Is this no longer taught in Driver's Ed.?

Oh, and how could I forget... tomorrow is the Ides of March! Beware.

aw, i don't know how you can't find dear johnny physically attractive, but i'm glad you've come to appreciate his acting talents and fabulous quirk. he is quite eclectic, and his choices and reasons for choosing to do a movie are so down to earth. he's not at all in it for the money or the fame. he's just a good actor, and he knows what he likes and what he wants to do, even if it's not going to be a big name movie. yay for johnny!

I can't wait for the new Beck album. I downloaded a few tracks, including a couple of remixes, and they kick ass.

And congrats on having a porno star's name. I have a long, Polish last name that I don't think any pornstars would want to use (unless maybe in Polish it's the equivalent of Thickmember).

I love the new beck CD!

As for the new found Depp... Have you watched Finding Neverland? I haven't yet but it is a Depp film and I heard it was really good.
