Size of Your Life

Songs in my head:
"High as the Moon" by the Get Up Kids
"All That I Know" by the Get Up Kids
"Forever Got Shorter" by Braid
"Jesus, Etc" by Wilco
"Size of Your Life" by the Promise Ring
"Heartlight" by Neil Diamond

I'm up earlier than normal this morning because of my darn scratchy throat. Shall be taking Kev's advice and looking into getting some honey from the grocery store. Still, nothing else in my body is sore. Sometimes I talk just too much. Maybe this is a good thing. Having a scratchy throat doesn't stop me from writing though!

Well, I finally caved in: I got a MySpace account. Yes, after months of dismissing it as a cheesy waste of time, I now feel it's a great thing to have. No, I'm not trying to find love through this, post sad/poorly-lit pictures of myself, complain about how my life sucks, politics suck or how I feel about sports teams. This is a great networking tool and the main reason why I signed up for it is already paying off. I think you'll know why later in the year. Yes, it's book-related.

Wilco will be on Late Show with David Letterman Friday night. I think Josh will be taping this.

Vince Neil reportedly said a naughty word on NBC's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and it went out uncensored over the air. I don't know if Josh taped this or not.

One With the Force

For as long as I have been alive, Star Wars has been in my life. I was only a year old when The Empire Strikes Back came out, a time when apparently a lot of people were angry about the twist that revealed Luke Skywalker’s parentage. I was not aware of this until I was in college, and frankly, does it really matter about the twist or the context of the day for fans? I think it does, as history has a way of repeating itself. These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
