Housewives and Homeowners who don’t want to be…

The unhappy housewife
And the homeowning gypsy gone sad
Make telephone calls to eachother
To see if they can get some of what the other one has

She dreams of completion
He stares at the sun
His eyes hurt so bad from the looking
But he’ll be fine when the night comes

The lonely soothsayer
Can see everything
But she just cannot bare it
When she can’t see happy adjectiving her endings

The stone lazy poet
Has forgotten half the words
He can get through the nouns just okay
But he lost all his verbs

And she pets all her cats
Until they slip out the door
Take a walk down the fire escape
Tomorrow, when they get hungry…
And he’s reaching for the stars
But he can’t even touch the streetlights
Tomorrow, he’s hungry, and always
We all just need more and then more and then….

more.

Completion. The lonely soothsayer who can see everything would say it’s an impossible thing to long for. Impossible to grab hold of. Even if you wholeheartedly put your mind to it and believe you can have it, you can never have it.

Completion is simplicity. Circles are complete and circles are simple.

I’d like circles but all I get is spirals. I feel dizzy.

omg wtf seriously can’t even begin to explain how much i’m looking forward to scoring the trip.. i’ve been going through dozens of cds and playing so much different stuff on my guitar thinking about how it all could work.. really wish i could see the visuals, transitions, lighting, and camera angles take shape and build on it.. the whole thing gets me so motivated.. i’m creating this workstation at my new apartment.. and the idea of sitting there creating by the windows in my sexy little loft space with candles and street lighting and really fucking putting it together has me soo stoked.. i’m thinking super reverbed ambient kind of meadlings from a fender tube amp. and kind of driven pacing forward moving rhythms and the occasional ambient spacey delay meanderings but making it all fit tightly. are you going to have a lot of 2 or 3 second still shots in the different places? the kind of stuff that is in between people being interviewed and narrators talking? kind of like this american life style where they pause inbetween segments to let the mood seep in.. yeah.. the computer i’m typing at is behind an elevator shaft and the screen gets vortex like every time an elevator passes by… back to work..

and here i was going to say something about circles needing to be filled, something missing within them, all logically pessimistic and all, but by just reading about sparks of motivation i think i’ll go get a shower

Yeah and there’s a BIG update to this whole thing.

1) My fuckass of a boss now shut me down, which had me thinking I wasn’t going to do the production, but…

2) I’m now producing it independently, with Tim, so Shawn you’ll not only be getting paid some cash out of the initial funding money we get, but you’ll be getting some percentage of all future profits, which could be $10 or $1000 you never know, however much we sell.

I’m really excited about this being a completely independent project now. Of course, no doubt in my mind that it will still get aired at least on WQLN, after they see it and all. I’m working through various stages.

All is still cool, though, and not only cool, but extremely cool.
