"People who act and create and write still want to make money off of it. There's no f@#*ing Michelangelos in Hollywood regardless of who they think they are" jonathan rhys meyers ..................................................... Well, EXACTLY, Jonathan, dear, that's WHY we're in...Wisconsin. So...let me see...interests... Well,staying alive here takes considerable time and effort, And the horses demand a good deal of our attention, hmmm, one round equine rump just passed by the window...(BTW our normal avatar with Tripp & Voli The Half Arab From Hell and our normal cutline "fear and loathing at myspace" are temporarily sidelined while we fly our kites for Hillary)) And, of course, we commit ourselves daily to The Gonzo Thesis...Tripp's going for the corespondence course PhD. at the prestigeous Hunter S. Thompson School of Gonzo Journalism (alas, there is NO such college but wouldn't it be FUN if there was!) MUCH more about that...later.
Lordy...who really knows these things! Tripp insists EVERYONE doesn't like her (except for the people who DO and they like her a lot!)I asked Hanson how we might...tempt new friends at My Space. She said crossly (she's always a bit cross when she's writing...erotica. I've never been sure...why) "Oh I dunno, Dott! YOU think of something! Hell, we got Manhatten for a bag of glass beads!"
Musically, we're entirely out of fashion but Tripp says that NOTHING that looks (sounds) good on you is EVER out of fashion. The Grand Old Gals: Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt. The Good Old Boys: Bowie, Nick Drake, Todd Rundgren, T Rex. Our Homeboy: Prince. That International Terrorist: Cat Stevens. Sountracts we actually own: Sweeny Todd August Rush. Hair, West Side Story. Almost Famous, Velvet Goldmine. Two who surprised us: Chris Gaines. Robert Downey Jr And Marvelous New Myspace Voices: The all too brief OKs, Miko, Pushing Red Buttons, The Grunts Mr. Andy White.
Let's see, what's on Tripp's netflix list...Les Enfants du Paradise that's ALWAYS at the top with Chinatown and Blade Runner. My Dinner with Andre passes for litergy. If we're a bit peckish, Rocky Horror or Goldmine Hedwig or Starstruck will set cyninshadows right. Unsung Gems Dept: B Monkey (Asia and that boy with the...oceanic eyes) Bros of the Head, Tripp's rather MAD for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and these days...There is no place like...London.
We're still watching reruns of Ghormenghast and Twin Peaks...
A Hundred Years of Solitude, A Winter's Tale by Mark Halprin, Potter, the crime novels of James L. Burke.
Hunter S. Thompson, um...that's it.
