it's very much spring over here in NJ. sun shining, flowers blooming and all that. Yesterday I saw a bee buzzing around!
I don't know if I mentioned this yet, but right now I'm in the middle of my first watch of The Sopranos. I like it a lot more than I thought it would! I didn't think it could be better than Succession, and I'm not completely sure if it is, but I feel like you could make that argument. I've seen Succession twice now and I really think that show is perfect in a lot of ways.
I don't think I've talked a lot about TV yet! I've focused more on reading lol. I actually majored in television and digital media, so I guess I'm kind of educated in this area? Lol not really. But writing for a TV drama was one of my big dream jobs for a while, and sometimes I think of trying to get back into persuing that. I think that I've been focused a lot more on music because I'd really just much rather be doing that right now. I can write books and tv shows when i'm an old guy lol. But yeah, defintiely considering making some kind of move w/r/t my career. But I won't talk about that too much!
I finished Imagined Communites. It was soo fucking boring. I barely read the last two chapters because I was so done with it, which is kind of a shame because they actually seemed more interesting. I'll try going back to it at some point, maybe. I'm in the middle of Freud's Civilization and It's Discontents which was also pretty boring at first, but it's getting more interesting in the last few chapters. At least this one is short!
I'm also just starting Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs, which I've been wanting to check out for a while now! I'm only like 30ish pages in but I'm defintiely pretty into it! Appearently it's told in a non-linear, mosiac style of writing, so I'm still trying to pick up the whole narrative of it (if there is one) but it's still really interesting prose. I can defintiely see the influence on William Gibson.
Trying to get more of a grip. I have this idea for a writing project that I may put here if I don't decide it's too dumb. Been trying to write more music but I'm veryyy bad at doing that. I was thinking of maybe starting an alumni show at my college radio station so I could get better at talking on-air.
Sometimes I just feel empty. Like I try to write something about this or that in a song, a blogpost, or whatever, and I'm just like "what the fuck am I doing trying write about this? I"m not a real person!". So this weird dynamic gets started where all I can write about is how much trouble I'm having writing. And who wants to read that??
Ok housekeeping time: I changed the color of the posts back to white because I think I like it better this way. I would like to find some way of doing more with this site, making it a bit cooler looking somehow with a background. But lol I guess that means I have to learn more than the bare minimum about HTML and CSS. I don't know why I'm so tired and lazy all the time, dude. I don't even work that much. I don't know! Sorry this ended up so mopey!
