Sinister: new year's vultures 'round mi'night

[Robyn Fadden]

hello soo-pear kids,

new Beck album, I echo the yaaaay of zoe, for this
album was kind of a new year's theme. "hot milk, tweak
my nipple, champagne and ripple." etc, etc shouted
across the Vancouver scene, whispered in unsuspecting
stranger's ears, told to hotel security guards, you
know, it was all about that and flashing lights and
blurred vision and losing things in all the many
pockets I had (pockets are good, but too many
pockets=confusion&much groping). Maybe we were
obnoxious all night, maybe we were soo-pear ool-traa
cool. mm. fun though. 

really interesting to feel the glee in the room when
the clock struck 12:00 12:00 12:00. I never made a big
deal out of millenial fever, didn't fill my bathtub
just in case before leaving the house, maybe had a
long-forgotten can of chili around, but it would have
been cat food for me had the world ended. Which we all
knew it wouldn't. But anyway, despite all this and
maybe it was all the strangers around me at a crashed
party, I felt at midnight a kind of child-like wonder
and excitement, like everyone in the room went
suddenly twee. Fleeting, of course, but a sweet moment
absent of cynicism. 

I've seen a lot of movies lately, what with the rain
and holidays, but won't bore you lot with all that.
Okay, I will (scroll on scroll on). Just saw
"Magnolia" last night. Ooh, so good. I saw the late
show and wasn't home until 2 a.m. (it's a 3+ hr movie)
and my thoughts were running so fast I couldn't fall
asleep for a while. Which is good, but not so good
when you have to work at 9 a.m... It's all
interconnections and convergence and the meaning of
life really. And more. Very emotional. Lots of good
music too (directed/written by Paul Thomas Anderson,
the same person who did Boogie Nights.) Also:
"Six Ways to Sunday" on video - It's like a
smallish-town-Ohio, Jewish "Goodfellas" with an
Oedipal twist. It's good stuff, really. Also saw a
double-bill of "Bringing Out the Dead" and "Taxi
Driver" - oh yeah. Bringing out the dead made barely a
blip when it came out - I don't know why b/c it's damn
good. And Nicholas Cage even has a few Raising Arizona
moments (the crazy ones, but his hair isn't quite as
good as it was back then.) And Taxi Driver, well, that
just goes w/o saying. See it on the big screen, see
it. Rented a Canadian film called "Cube", which was
strange and nightmarish, about people who wake up to
find themselves trapped in this cube connected to
other cubes, some booby trapped, some not, and they
try to find their way out, and, human nature being
what it is, trouble ensues...
Yeah, so btwn all these movies (oh, there are more)
and this weird chest/head cold i've had for over a
week and the whole millenium thing, reality is all
skewed as usual, but the different thing is that it's
okay really. took me a while to get to this, but
really, i'm not going to worry about the whole what's
reality what's not thing anymore. I mean, I always did
pay my bills late; now I have a better excuse.

stoppingnow.
velcro shoes and the coolsounds they make: i like my
velcro shoes and the coolsounds they make. 

Love Robyn
