Durn, went reading friends' friends' pages and stumbled upon somebody talking about Zeppelin's "Tangerine" and now I've got this terrible desire to hear it but wouldn't you know it is neither on my new Zeppelin CD NOR is it available through Comcast Rhapsody. I might have to go fast-forward Almost Famous to the end or something. (And of course it is not on the Almost Famous soundtrack, either, since the soundtrack already had "That's the Way" on it. Which is the same thing that happened to "Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters." Because you say to yourself "How can the Almost Famous soundtrack NOT have 'Tangerine' or 'Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters,' but then again, how can it not have 'Tiny Dancer'? I suppose 'Tiny Dancer' is more important to have than 'Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters'." 'That's the Way' isn't quite as, what's the word, meaningful, but I've heard it's very hard to come across on other records, so that's why they picked it for the soundtrack. But apparently "Tangerine" is hard to come across too!) Or, I suppose I could watch the whole thing in anticipation of the end. But I have spent most of the past five days watching movies, so am looking to do something more productive. Like, waste time on here. Or some junk.

Well, I did a load of laundry because we were out of jeans. I have left it downstairs though because I can't carry it up the steps. I did half the dishes that had piled up in the sink. Then, when I couldn't stand up anymore, I sat about trying to figure out where Ian Schafer is going next. Something is slowly sort of taking shape. Sort of. Then I decided to outline the rest of Somewhereorother, because it occurred to me that should I FINISH writing a final first draft (go fig) of Ian Schafer, I ought to do the same thing with Somewhereorother, and then I will have THREE novels in the editing stage, rather than in various stages of unwrittenness. Is anyone else out there working on any writing projects of their own free will? I don't think anyone on my friends list is, but maybe somebody randomly browsed by who is. I feel sort of lonely about it. Because I talk about it all the time but nobody really knows what I'm talking about. Yet another reason I miss Angie. Although I might see her tomorrow. Still, it's not the same as it was in high school.

music, books
