Rough Night
Came home with a headache. Received a letter from the IRS stating that I owe 755 more dollars, as a penalty for paying my 2004 taxes so late. My Best of Bowie and ER: Second Season DVDs arrived, which is good, but the ER box set has two Disc 2s, and no Disc 1.
As expected, the David Bowie DVD is really great. The videos move chronologically from filmed performances of the 70's, which are really good, to even better artsy theartrics during the 80's and early 90's, and then finally become just like any other ADD-bourne music video of the MTV generation. My favorites so far are Absolute Beginners, which is like a mini film noir starring Bowie and some lady in a zebra suit, and DJ, in which David wears an orange jumpsuit and breaks things in an extremely colorful office environment. I can't imagine ever being that happy.
