"Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?"

I kinda feel like a fake Joy Division fan, because I didn't really get into them until I was 23. But now I can't get away from them. Somehow this band hits the nail on the head and I can't stop listening. I'm well aware that JD is a depressing band, especially lyrically. But for me, the JD's a useful tool for pouring out my melodrama, when I have an excess of emotions that I need to purge. Their SOUND gets me.

Sometimes I wonder if it's pathetic to regard 20-year-old music as if it's current. A lot of my favorite bands broke up long ago, or have dead members, and the like. My Bloody Valentine? The Smiths? Siouxsie and the Banshees? Lush? Cocteau Twins? Slowdive? Clash? Talk Talk? They're done. Obviously, no one's waiting for the next Smiths album to come out. In terms of new bands, I don't really know what's going on. Should I feel bad?

NAH! Fuck that!

Here's to living in the past musically, until something worthwhile presents itself. Cheers!!

Footnote...I really wish I'd been in town last night to grab a martini with lyonesse and bikergeek. Damn! That would've been the ideal Saturday night excursion. I was at my mom's reading a Feng Shui book instead. Raincheck? *looks hopeful*

yeah, two entries in a row with actual content...i'm thinky today

Mom and I went window-shopping in Gt. Barrington yesterday, and found a good book on Feng Shui for 6 bucks. I'm finding the color tips useful. All colors are associated with various elements, and they do different things to your brain.

Our living room, dining room, and kitchen are pretty stark. It's all wood, muted tones, a little blue and green here and there. And the space is so open and expansive that it's intimidating.

My bedroom is TOTALLY the opposite. Black, red and purple on the bed. Rock and anime posters on the walls. Purple wallhanging, red wallhanging, some christmas lights. I've covered at least 75 percent of the wallpaper with my own stuff, because I hate the wallpaper. (Fucking pastel dots...)

Black and purple are water colors, and red is a fire color. The creative mindset is encouraged. Sometimes I'm kept up at night thinking about art projects and chord progressions. Maybe it's my room decor?

Ideally, I'd probably put some peach and earthy tones in there...unfortunately I really don't like those colors. And my place is not my own, so I can't deck out the living room like a club or an indie recording studio. I keep my personality confined to the bedroom. Maybe I should just decorate the living room in peach and start sleeping on the couch. *snicker*

Eh. Food for thought.
