thoughts

1. Bill Murrays plays the same charcter in "Broken Flowers", "Rushmore" and "Lost in Translation". a glum, melancholy middle age guy around sexy younger women ala Scarlet JOhansen, the british teacher in rushmore, his ex's and their naked daughters in "Broken Flowers").

2. if you really care for someone (and would never want to not see them again), you should surely place a item of yours in some nook or cranny of their residance. so that-god forbid you break up and you need to see her a month later for some reason, you can just turn up at their place and say whatever needs to be said under the guise of getting something you remebred leaving there.

personal note: when i got dumped and left her house in shock i stupidly came back 1 minuete later to get the VCR that i had moved to her room-under the assumption that we would be together longer- so that we could watch my video cassette of "Mullohand Blouvard".


3. don't get mad at the fact that someone is still sleeping in the afternoon, you don't know how they got into that sleep scycle and they problem are working on getting out of it which is very trick for some o f us.

4. When people say "didn;t lennon(or lenin) say "life is what you do while your waiting"", or with what ever lenin or lennon quote there touting, i never know if theyre talking about lenin or lennon.

3. if i lived in LA or ever do, no matter what i did for a living, i would go to open auditions. i atleast hope you don't need to have a agent to even go to auditions in hollywood for roles other than "waiter number 2".

why? because.......
4. i have a feeling that acting is one of the easiest forms of work. I know easy work personally. I happily and leasurily, spent much of two summers in high school sitting in a chair reading philip roth and christopher hitchens/looking at women during the day for minimum wage. To be exact my job was to write down the permit numbers of middle aged windsurfers and to compassionatly tell a caravan of none english speaking mexican immgrants that they can't enter greenwood beach at this entrace. But the act of doing either of those two things took up probably less than 7 miineuetes of my entire 5 hour work day.
Anyways............
5........... i think acting is easy, finding work as one is another matter. i think training does very little in determining the success a actor has at all. I think most of what accounts for a actors success is in how much people like looking at that person specfically their face and/or heraing there voice. We like people and we like actors for the same superficial intangible things. Look at Bill Murray in his much vaunted late period renaniance as a actor in recent movies like "Broken Flowers" or "Rushmore" or "Lost in Translation" inwhich he plays essentially the same charcters literary. or JOhn Malkovich, now malkovich works very hard but compare him in the film version of "death of a salesman" when he was young and had hair to him in "being john malcovich" as the bald middle age guy we know him as most dearly

or Paul Newman or John Cusack.

6. bjork sucks. and hipsters of the world don't be afraid to admit it. stand up and tell the frizzy haired bitch, "no i don't want to do it to 'Vespertine', i spit on your grave." and walk out.


7. wen u disagree with some1 u look for flaws in that guy and if u can find flaws it can turn ur disagrement into hatred. Case in point:Bush.bush hysteria always fascinated me in how little it had to do with his actions.bush was a Republican lefty. yet judging from the hatred you'd think he had placed a cross on the white house.his dumbness was outragous, and dems then placed that outrage everywere else for 8 yrs.

8. why has barbra walters been famous for my hwole life?
