Really what's not to like? The towns people are bat shit crazy, but lovable. Emily and Richard Gilmore aren't as blue blood as they think they are, I mean they raised Lorelai, that rebellious and stubborn streak came from somewhere. I think maybe it's because I wish I had half the guts of Lorelai. She just goes out and does what she sets out to do and I keep making excuses about things and putting off writing, etc. There is nothing more that I want to do than write. It's what drives me. Yet I have a hard time writing lately. This is easy and I'm not sure why. I can write something here, have great ideas for a script but have a hard time sitting and putting my ideas down and I shouldn't. I think it has a lot to do with fear. Fear sucks and really there isn't much I fear..well maybe just a committed relationship..but that's not a fear, it's just not what I want (maybe, if the right person comes along and they wouldn't mind doing the whole Goldie Hawn/Kurt Russell thing), ..... I want to write and make movies.
Anyway, I wasted two or more weeks watching all seven seasons of the Gilmore Girls. All I have to show for it is I figured out my favorite episode, well...I at least narrowed it down. Top three A -Tisket, A-Tasket, They Shoot Gilmores, Don't They? and I Get a Sidekick Out of You. This show is just great, funny, inspirational, and fills up time when you're trying to figure out your next step.
I have also spent a majority of the summer listening to lots of Jack White and if you know me, you're saying of course you did, Christine, you love Jack White. What can I say the guy can write music that makes me think. Also he's been in the news lately, (he and Loretta Lynn received stars on Nashville's Music City Walk of Fame in June) with a new album with The Dead Weather hitting in September and taking a break from performing live for a long while and then being added to the line up for Stephen Colbert's The Late Show. There has to be genius behind these antics, something big this way comes with Jack White.
Jack White is just interesting. The man can write some of the best lyrics and can play any instrument out there, he makes it sound vastly different than anything else you've ever heard. Like almost everyone else I loved the White Stripes, but I don't think it was his best work, I still think that is yet to come. One thing that really makes me like Jack White is his support of local bands. He really wants people to get out and see the music that's around them and make something of their communities through music. He gets that music forms a big part of communities, something we all need to realize, so please visit places like The Hi-Dive, Meadow Lark, Larimer Lounge, The Bluebird, Summit Music Hall, and Walnut Room, all of these venues feature local artists and up and coming bands passing through on tour, so get out and support artists, you never know who might be the next big thing and you can say I saw them first.
Sorry if a lot of this is just me yammering, but sometimes to get things going you have to yammer. This got things flowing for me. I won't be taking long breaks anymore as I plan to update this blog every Wednesday morning, a plan I'm putting into action by making an article list for the future. I'm going to be working on a script and putting deadlines in place for that too, I'll mention how things are going at the end of articles just to keep myself accountable and on track. I'm also starting on a lifestyle change, I have to for myself, so will be posting about that as well, again to keep myself accountable, but mostly I will be posting about music, movies, politics and the world in general, hopefully I won't bore you all. Screw fear, it's not worth my time not getting to do what I want and set out to do.
