I have so many posters

20. Alix Kates Shulman "Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen"

The festival starts a week from today. 30 days of stuff to do. Blow me.

Sandwich

It has recently come to my attention that I am not growing as a writer. In the past five months I've yet to write anything substantial. Lots of lists about music (which probably says something about my relationships with anyone human) and fear of saying something that will cause trouble. Friends of mine who I thought were horrible writers have lapped me tenfold. Good?

I can't name drop here. Nor will I make a list. Out of fear I will not rate my friends.

My problem, at least what I think is my problem, is that I can't stop thinking about these people. Thinking about these people leads me to not write. What is there to write about? There's a lot to write about, a lot I want to 'say', but I'm not thinking of anything. So I surround myself with them. Whenever one is too far out of reach I call for coffee or beer or something. If I'm friends with writers I must be one too.

I just finished watching "The Jacket". Eh.

19. Rich Koslowski "The King"

From yesterday's child show experience

I just watched Buddy Guy on an episode of "Big Music Show" on the kids network Noggin. He played the "King of Swing". Does anyone out there have the audacity and lack of soul to call Mr. Guy a sell-out?

The show was hard to watch.

Guy looks a lot better without hair.

A blue puppet played a horn.

Fucking weird.

I like Buddy Guy, but why didn't they get Brian Setzer? He plays "swing" music. The show was weird.

"Action" movie

The "Harry Potter" series puts the lead characters in danger for no reason. They create the danger that almost kills them. It's true with most action movies. If characters just pulled out guns most problems would be solved within ten minutes.

Knowing your role

It's 10:36 am. I'm watching Comedy Central. A David Cross comedy special is on. If there was no apartment construction, no job, etc. I would just be waking up. I would still be watching the same thing. The commercial that just aired was for Taco Bell. Rather than try to come across as healthy or cheap, they're focusing on the fact that drunks like to eat Taco Bell as their "Fourth Meal". Kudos, Taco Bell. Thank you for not bullshitting everyone.
