2000-01-21 09:59:38 I don't really feel up to this today. I think I'm only updating in the interest of product. Here's what I need to be happy today: I need to go see the movie Titus. And I need need need the new album by Dead Prez. I heard the single "it's bigger than...hip...hop....it's bigga than." SO GOOD. why can't more rap be more political. I'm so glad that jay-z and busta et al are on the wane due to overexposure. they don't even give you anything to think about, not like mos def, or kweli. to sum up, looking very forward to owning dead prez. also to be happy today I will need some serious time this weekend to work on my new design for my website. last august I got totally plateaud and boreded with it and haven't even looked at it since then. really to be fair I've had a hectic dose of writer's block and haven't had anything new to add to it anyways. but I combatted my writer's block the way you are supposed to, by keeping on writing everyday, no matter how much you hate yourself for it. it's work. it's not fun. for some reason it's worth it. I haven't figured out what that reason is. there's a really pretty good book about the writing process that I got for xmas this year: why I write (note the bn link instead of amazon) and it's pretty interesting stuff. it's a collection of essays by all kinds of different writers and it's really neat to see how differently everyone answered the question. recommendable. anyways all that is to say that things are finally picking up, I'm almost finished with my first actually decent story in months, and I left work in a totally angry and frustrated haze yesterday at 5-o-clock and ZERO seconds, got off the bus in central square even though it's farther from my house, but the bus was too crowded to be on and people were starting to scare me, and I stormed home in the hectic snow and all of the sudden I had the whole website redesign in my head. I was like racing home to write it all down. so I'm psyched to get working on it. might even be able to sneak in a little editing on it this afternoon, surreptitiously and on the e.l. if none of the higher-ups are looking. finally I will also be happy today if I am left alone. and that is all I can tell you for now. k thank you very much & credits music: |
