it’s list time again.
we all like lists, right?
quick and easy to digest and filled with profoundly undeveloped thoughts.
so, i begin:
a-i saw ‘blades of glory’ tonight. it had a few funny moments, and you know that i love will ferrel, and i don’t want to sound heretical and question the will ferrel canon, but didn’t ‘blades of glory’ kind of seem like a throw away for him?
his character was funny(as all of his characters tend to be)but his character seemed like ron burgundy mixed with ricky bobby, but kind of undeveloped.
wait, am i really writing about this?
a moderately critical deconstruction of will ferrel as a figure skater?
i should go sit in the corner and hang my head in shame.
sorry.
b-doesn’t gw seem to be intentionally trying to isolate himself these days? people try to figure him out, but it’s really not so hard, especially if you grew up in connecticut. not to be too reductionist, but he’s a privileged and entitled kid from a wealthy family. he was given everything, from his education to his placement in the air national guard to his businesses to his governorship to his presidency. his entire life has been relatively effortless and he’s never questioned his place in the world nor his entitlement nor the fact that someone has always been there to save him when he’s screwed up.
and now for the first time the world isn’t handing him things on a silver platter.
and he’s baffled. and as he’s not prone to introspection he’s going to petulantly pretend that circumstances are as they were for the first 1/2 century of his life. he’s a child of privilege and a dry drunk. and i think that we’ll see him continue to get angrier and more petulant as congress and the supreme court and the governors and the american people and the world community move further away from him and his ineptly executed agenda.
c-i’m dj’ing in toronto on thursday. i really like toronto. it’s kind of like a hybrid between new york city and stockholm.
if the winters weren’t so brutal i’d consider moving there. sometimes we u.s.a’ers forget that there’s a calmer and more sane and gigantic country just a few feet north of us.
d-i still haven’t figured out how to dj with cd’s, so i’ll be playing vinyl in toronto. i sure hope they have record players.
and needles. one time i was scheduled to dj in front of a fairly big crowd here in nyc. i walked on stage and put my first record on the 1200 and looked to see that the promoted had provided turntables but had forgotten to provide needles.
that was interesting. and one time years ago my friend westbam was dj’ing in russia and the needles were broken so they called the local school of engineering and someone was able to build him new needles for his 1200’s. where there’s a will there’s a way. right.
e-oops, it’s late. time to go to sleep. have a good night.
