A musical.

There are some really simple things that make me happy for no reason. I think everybody has those things. I love the word "paranoid," just looking at it typed on my screen is good enough. I also have this little spot on my pillowcase where i must have put it in some bleach, and it's this little brownish pinkish dot, this little imperfection. Maybe I like it because it distinguishes my pillowcase from all the other ones that sat on the shelf next to it.

I still have to watch the Music Man, it is making me UNhappy. It's just not that interesting for long periods of time. I'm noticing some cool things in it though. There's a lot of sing-talking, like when people talk to a beat, or sing to some diegetic music; they aren't singing a melody really, it really more like talking. And there is almost always background music (diegetic or not) playing. It's pretty cool, actually. Creative. It's almost operatic in a way. Start this video at about one minute in if you want to see what I mean.



This weekend I have to edit my first video for my production class. I think it's going to be fun but I also can kind of tell that it has the potential to be incredibly frustrating and ultimately disappointing. BUT. I'm keeping optimistic.

confiscable
liable to be taken by an authorized party.

That's a pretty good word. Like a contraband, right? I think so. I'm trying to use the word confiscable to bring up some sort of memory but I can't, and I should take a shower instead anyway. I always have good ideas in the shower so maybe I'll think of something in there and tell you aaaaall about it tomorrow. (Also, it's funny that blogspot doesn't recognize confiscable as a word).

It's also been hard to read in my room today because I can hear other people talking really clearly. I don't know where they are but somehow their voices must be echoing in such a way that it sounds like they are speaking into a megaphone directed toward my open window. I know at least one of the people talking (I can recognize one, anyway), and it's hard not to eavesdrop.


That is all.
