In your Obi Wan voice: “The drama is strong with this one…” — R. Williams
The longer I sit and look at the world around me, the more amazed I am at the world’s fundamental magic. Everything around us seethes with energy, and without even thinking we move through and manipulate things with the most minor force of will.
I had more Indian food for dinner with Roy and Renee. I smelled myself this morning just to make sure I’m not starting to smell like Curry. The mint tea scare has been proven a hoax. The soap at the apartment smells oddly like minty green tea, so I have assured myself, it was the soap, and not an absorbed herb that made my hands smell minty, for days…
After dinner I went and saw Roy’s band practice. Pretty cool. Think bad faeries ignoring the king’s edict and wandering into the city’s of man for bad women, hash, smoky bars, and lots of psychedelic music.
Being bad faeries they play dark, dissonant music, a chaotic whirlwynd of wrything (that’s how faeries spell it) angst somehow in time with the other five wrything whirlwynds of angst.
Vocals reminiscent of Frank Black, kind of. I hear the doors, Missippi blues, Heart, the Doors, snatches of punk, folk, and metal, all played with two acoustic guitars, an electric bass, a drum kit, and a hand drummer. Quite impressive. They play March 21 at Underworld at Numbers and March 23 at Sin 13 in Dallas, despite not being a goth band.

I went back to the apartment and spoke with an acquaintance, Steve, who informed me Amelie was by the sane director who did Delicatessan and City of Lost Children. Why did no one tell me this before!?!
There, I thought it was some lame-ass French romance meant for chyx and guys hoping to get laid, when in reality, it’s this kick ass, slightly dark and comedic romance by an awesome visual artist meant for chyx and guys hoping to get laid.
I would have seen it 15 times by now.
Meanwhile, back in reality, I’m still way behind though I did get two invoices out, and paid all my bills. That’s good right?
