***my deadline for BQ is this weekend*** so this is what I did last night instead of finishing my work***rest assured, my editor doesn’t read my blog***
1.) Watched the entire Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten documentary on YouTube: The first of 11 (!) videos here.
2.) Felt so sad about Joe that I ate a massive bowl of Cheerios to make myself feel better.
3.) Ordered the movie “The Flamingo Kid” from Amazon. Planning to download the clip of Matt Dillon humming while eating dinner at his girlfriend’s house. So funny. Will share.
4.) Killed an hour searching the remarkable and bizarre clip art at CSA Images for possible artwork for Friday Five.
5.) Wrote four pages of dialogue for my sitcom treatment. Why is the pressure of “suppose to be doing something else” so inspiring? I suspect most great works of literature/art/music were written when the author/artist/musician was meant to be working on something entirely different.
The Sistine Chapel? Michelangelo was supposed to be painting his sister’s kitchen.
Other Friday Five:
“Five uses for those annoying magazine inserts”
“Five links to Jane Austen and Friends”
Huge Joe Strummer fan. The Clash’s first album was the first album I ever bought. I saw him last when he was solo at the Coach House. Amazing show..
LOVED the Flamingo Kid, that scene was the best of the movie. Can’t wait to watch it again.
That “Magazine Insert” piece was hilarious! They do ALWAYS fall out into my bath!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oooooo Matt Dillon. yum
And ‘painting his sister’s kitchen’….that really cracked me up.
