Sinister: Autumn=rain

[elenita 99]

Hello people,

You should listen to the new Beck album. I like it.

I had an interesting conversation with my brother last weekend regarding 
music. As an introduction, my brother (20 year old) was into R'n'B and 
hip-hop for a long time until I managed, with lots of persuasion and hours 
of music listening, to convert him to something else. He is still not a B&S 
fan, but more into Sigur Ros, Death in Vegas, Radiohead and electronic stuff 
in general.
So today we were having a fag and talking, and he was explaining how 
somtimes discovering new music or listening to new stuff is hard work for 
him. Not all the time, for example he got the new Sigur Ros album and he 
adores them so that is exciting and no effort at all to listen to it. But 
then if he hears about some stuff that he could like and he gets a new 
record, sometimes you have to get motivated to find the will to listen to 
it, get into it, get to know it good, and decide which tracks you like best, 
etc...
I kind of understood what he meant but then I disagree on the idea. New 
music is exciting no matter what, and for some of it you do have to make 
"efforts" to get into it. But most of the time, the efforts you make are 
worth a hundred times more happiness.

I went to the cinema with my brother (the other one) to see "Bowling for 
Columbine". I thought it was scary. I also wondered if Charlton Heston and 
Georges W. Bush are secret twins that were raised apart. I wonder if this 
gun thing is something of a culture, or if I just don't get it with my 
European little brain.

I also went at the theatre to see "Of Mice and Men". To be honest I thought 
it would be a bit rubbish as the book is so brilliant and great and sad. So 
I wasn't expecting much from it. And I ended up crying, it was so good and 
impressive I couldn't believe it. The guy playing the part of Lenny was just 
so good it was incredible. I mean, it is fairly difficult to be that kind of 
character, and he was so moving. So well, it was brilliant.

I have noticed at least two people mentioning some movie called "Slap her, 
she's French". I am French and I hope no one will slap me, but could someone 
please tell me what is the movie all about? so I can understand why you 
should be slapped just because you are French.

My boss had a baby (well his wife more exactly) and he is all happy and 
excited and it is kind of touching to see how people change when they have a 
kid; they feel responsible, behave like grown-up, etc. The scary thing about 
all this is that he is only 26 and has been married for 4 years already.

Anyway, better get on with some work before he stops being happy about his 
baby and starts kicking my bum.
Have a lovely day/evening/nigth
