hi everyone i had a busy weekend, i worked on a film set the whole time. in fact, i really did forget about bowlie for all of friday, and saturday. it was a shock to me to remember this morning, and then i ended up forgetting about it. i won't bore you with the details, if you know me, i will tell you anyway. i'm sure i'll be told how wonderful it was a dozen times by friends intent on torturing me (and you know who you are). but this weekend, i remembered what it means to fall in love with a song. i don't know what state of mind you have to be in to fall in love this way, to feel like you're flying when all you're doing is listening to a shitty bootleg over a computer. aptly enough, it was a magnetic fields song, "moviestar". and after months of confusion, i remembered what makes all this worthwhile. it isn't about having eighty cds or going to see any number of concerts, it's not quantity. it's for that one moment when you hear the perfect sound, and it's just exquisite. and you become part of something much greater than yourself. and you realize that beauty exists, and all you want to do is create it, or perhaps find it and hone it, as it may be to much suggesting that one person can create beauty. i'd best stop now before everyone starts making fun of me. but that's my weekend, boiled down to one moment. xox megan mkl206@is8.nyu.edu who are magnetic fields? http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ updated 4/3/99 mkl206@is8.nyu.edu who are magnetic fields? http://www.dissemination.com/megan/magneticfields/ updated 4/3/99 +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
