Bolt of Blue

I’m still alive. Just haven’t felt like posting. Things are happening… life is moving along but I’m just not very motivated right now. Like I’ve lost a spark or voice that feels natural. I’ve tried to start several posts since my last one. Each one never gets finished. I feel so muddled right now. Tired. Lonely. Stressed. Anxious. So here’s the best I can do at the moment. Some random thoughts that have crept into my head or have filled my thoughts these past few weeks.

• That 70′s Show will end after next year’s season. Sad.
• Money. Lack of money sucks.
• I think I’m finally going to get roped into jury duty.
• Teen Witch is an evil movie. No matter if I have somewhere to go or if I have better things to do, if I’m flipping channels and it’s on, I drop everything.
• Dominic Monaghan is really unattractive. His under bite and weird way his mouth juts out and moves to the side when he talks bugs me. This is pathetic of me, I know.
• My new crush is Matthew Goode. So hot. Go see Chasing Liberty. It will make you smile. Unless you’re a co-co-cold hearted snake.
• The new PP album is radness. It’s such a step up from their previous work and I really adore that it captures the energy they have when live. Their instore at Tower on the 10th was fun. I continue to love Sam. But it was too damn hot out. It’s supposed to be winter right? Bleh. That’s Los Angeles for you. Gorgeous 80 degree weather in the middle of January.
• Since after Christmas I’ve been immersed in the world of the His Dark Materials trilogy. I’ve never been so emotionally invested in a series of novels before. To the point where I would have to put the book down before getting to certain parts, afraid of what might happen, or because I had to calm myself as I sobbed uncontrollably. They simply floored me and made me reflect on life, death, religion, faith, and love. They will sit with me, in my thoughts and heart, for a long time to come.

Um. I’m still alive. Just been majorly busy. And getting a bit sick.

I had to finish this gift I was making by mother’s day for my mom. Work has been incredibly hectic. More than usual right now. So much so, I was not able to take off Friday and go to Jay Leno for Ewan. And because of traffic, I didn’t make it in time to see Ewan leave the studio. Ah well.

I spent most of last week finally redesigning and revamping my Jude Law fansite. This has been something I’ve needed to do for months and months. I came up with several discarded designs until finally coming up with the right one. I also did the entire site in PHP. I recently revamped the JRMfansite using PHP. And my first real stab at PHP was redesigning and restarting Glow. It’s going to be a while before all my sites get going with PHP but I’m very happy I’ve started to get the hang of using it. It makes life so much easier (I’m more knowledgeable and comfortable using ASP but most webhosting servers do not have that capablity). Plus I’ve almost completely changed all of my fanlistings to using either PHP or Megabook. I just need to convert one more… and ahem… I’m signed up for 4 more fanlistings that I need to complete.

Yeah. I’ve got issues.

And to top it all off… Blur are trying to kill me! Well… either that or get more money out of me. According to Pollstar (via Val), they are going to play Seattle June 20 and then Vancouver June 21. (Along with Vegas on June 12.) So looks like I’ll be visiting Remi that weekend. Already got pit tickets for Xfest just to see them. Hot Hot Heat were added to the bill. Just as long as they don’t play at the same time, June 15th will be a radness filled day.

Oh… anyone got details regarding the American Idol final to be held at the Universal Amphitheater?

I’ve decided I’m regressing back to my childhood. Well… with my reading habits at least. I’ve been re-reading some of my favorite books from when I was a kid. I’ve zipped through The Westing Game and From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Now I’m working on Lord of The Flies which I have not read in ages and ages. Catching the movie on Bravo the other day made me pull out my old copy.
