"thumb kissing"

i love reading interviews. i bought a bigass book today called "W.W." that features a bunch of interviews with some arteests that i admire, like graf artist doze green and composer umebayashi shigeru. doze's works is beautiful, strange, and sometimes a little somewhat scary - a chaotic jazz of colors and faces. shigeru did the haunting soundtrack to wong kar wai's "in the mood for love." damn i love that soundtrack. shigeru says "Movie scoring is like relationships. You meet your dream girl, you develop strong feelings toward her, then naturally you will take actions to get close to her, you will try very hard to hold her hands. I compose for movies in the same way. I never consciously work as a movie composer; I am just like an audience watching a silent movie." wow. bam.

day light savings time came by and bit me in the butt today. good thing i wasn't too late for my rehearsal.

the conference went by cool yesterday. golda supanova is a freaking awesome. we all thrashed and everything. i remember back in the day when marques, jimmy, luca, and i were all mad crushing over golda. i wish i had more time to go to workshops but i was too busy running around taking care of last minute problems. after the conference, i got dinner with jade and rick. we tried to pull a prank on her but that backfired (it seems all pranks on her backfire for some reason.) afterwards we hit up my apartment to chill before heading out to dom's lil party. thumb kissing is fun until dominique fights back.

and we all shared secrets at the party.

dope song: atmosphere - "god's bathroom floor" jazzy hip hop song about i'm not really sure but it sounds real cool.
