back from GREAT BEYOND

Hi,
I decided to come back because a lot of things are changing. And I have some extra time now. I also have so many amazing ideas that I just HAVE to write them down.

Let’s ketchup.

Matthew, my dear matt, got a job with Motorola, they make cell phones, you know (and actually he just left for his first day of work!). So after receiving his job offer we have scrambled to move to the Chicago land area. His job is waaaaay up in a north suburb but we wanted to live closer to the city and to friends. Because we figure being with friends shouldn’t be as much work as going to work. So we ended up in Logan Square, real close to the blue line “L”. By the way how are you supposed to spell that? “The elevated train of Chicago Transit Authority.”

I’ve been living in Chicago for 2 weeks now. New address, new bank account, I need a new license and new plates for my car. I need a new job as well, and narrowing down that is seemingly impossible, suggestions are welcome. And I really need to start some laundry but first I need about 10 dollars in quarters.

This is the first time in a long time that I’m going to have more than one hour by myself, which hasn’t happened in a long time. I have to use this time wisely. By blogging? Apparently yes.

Let’s mustard:

Buddy Holly “Everyday”- Best song ever. It gets stuck in my head so easily. and singing a long the “hey ahey hey” or “faster than a rollercoaster”. Oh Buddy Holly.

Coconut Records “Nighttiming”- Jason Shwartzman’s solo project Coconut Records. I had no idea that this was him until about 5 days ago. I mean I know hw was in phantom planet but I had no idea he was writing songs. Honestly I love Nighttiming because it’s kind of a throw back, a disco pop rock, like candy.

Also just saw the 1987 film “Dragnet” starring Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks. and they have a rap song over the end credits. Which prompted the following scenario in my mind.

Me: Hello Mr. Hanks, thanks for this interview.
Hanks: you’re welcome.
Me: So in the 1987 film “Dragnet” you rap over the end credits. Who wrote those awesome rhymes? And what was it like recording that song? Did you know how awesome it would be later?
Hanks: ???

I don’t know what he would say but it’s a funny idea. There are a couple more questions for Mr. Hanks I would ask.
“In your older movies you were a lot more goofy, also I notice a lot more boobies in your movies from the 80’s- what happened to those type of movies? Are you too awesome for them?”
“’That Thing You Do’ was a great movie, I would dare to say a cult classic in my library. You co-wrote many of those songs that I, in all seriousness, could sing to you right now. Do you think you’ll write some more songs anytime soon?”
“If you could marry the moon/NASA, would you?”
“Who do you love more Ron Howard or Steven Spielberg?”
“Has this been a good interview? Or the best interview?”

So there you go. This is what I think about when it’s about 2 am I’m sleeplessly in bed awaiting to fall asleep and then wake up at 6:30, to see my little Matt off to work.
I’ve got some other grood (great +good =grood) questions for so many other people.

One last quotation for you from a St. Louis rapper Yung Ro:
“Yes I’m fresh, yes I’m clean, yes I’m rocking 200 dollar jeans.
Yes you thick, yes you bad, yes your boyfriend fiddin to be mad.
Yes I’m rich, I get cash, I like it when you shake it fast”
