Pop Music Sucks You In
I have an inordinate fondness for cover songs. The Joker done by Fatboy Slim, The Way You Look Tonight as interpreted by Maroon 5, Mahna Mahna by way of Cake...It's a sickness. Concrete Blonde's version of Everybody Knows came up on my shuffle and I got inspired to Youtube that old Christian Slater favorite Pump Up the Volume. Being a teen-ager in the ninties. Oh God. I'd almost forgotten how bizarre we all were (are?). Still, it got me a free shot of a topless Christian Slater and that's never a bad thing. Gotta admit, I do almost feel pervy considering I'm way older than Pump Up the Volume Christian Slater's movie age.
Having a hard time relating to the angsty OMGTHEWORLDness of PUtV, though. I remember watching it the first time and it was all intense and relatable. Now it's all bad plot and ridiculous overreactions (are there mommies and daddies out there who still get all worked by their teens listening to mildly dirty music and indie stream of consciousness verbal blogs [which is really all Hard Harry's underground station was when you get down to it]? I can't imagine being all OH NOES FREE EXPRESSION THINK OF THE CHILDREN about a goddamn radio station). I think I'm old. I'm not feeling it. Especially not the love scenes. At this point, if I were to have to date again, I would definitely want to see some proof of potency by the first date.
Also watching The Tudors. WHY? I KNOW THE ENDING AND THE ACTING IS DISTURBING. AND BY DISTURBING I MEAN JONATHON RHYS MEYERS IS ENTIRELY TOO GOOD AT PORTRAYING A SLIGHTLY PSYCHOTIC SELF-CENTERED MISOGYNIST KING. HOLD ME![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
anxiety_junkie, HOLD ME. I CAN'T LOOK AWAY FROM THE BREASTS AND CREEPY OVEREMOTING.
Only two more weeks until we're on the move. I cannot stress how much I do not enjoy moving.

And I love your clingies. It's very I CAN'T LIVE IF LIVING IS WITHOUT YOU and I approve. I'm feeling very random capsy today. Remember kids: capslock is cruise control for cool.
