At the end of the month I turn the big 3-0. So, 30-something future self: Don't be a jerk. Don't sell yourself short. Keep an open mind and fer chrissakes- buy a ticket. You can't win the lotto (or get on a plane) without one.
Here is a list. It mainly covers what my brain's been busy with these days.
Before Night Falls Soundtrack - This soundtrack contains my favorite piece of instrumental music: Crisà ntemo by Ernesto Lecuona. The movie was about a Cuban poet and novelist, Reinaldo Arenas, who definitely lived life to the MAX. His book by the same title is a memoir that includes tremendously funny anecdotes concerning homosexuality and farm animals.
The Green Album The internet pointed out that an album's worth of Muppet songs have been covered by the likes of My Morning Jacket, OK Go, and Sondre Lerche. NPR have a stream of the entire record, so if you need a morning pick me up click that sucka and start shakin' some tail.
True Blood Oh, True Blood. Words cannot express how much I love Season 4. However, my favorite TB blog, Sookieverse does an extra-specially fine job of singing praises, providing criticisms of Uncle Alan (Ball) and laying claim to the most downright hilarious recaps of each episode.
Curb Your Enthusiasm It's taken me years of living with a die hard LD fan to finally see the light. This season's hilarity appears to be ramped up to a level that I find impossible to not utterly love- it's addictive and horrifying at the same time. I can't wait to see this week's ep, I hope Rosie O'Donnell gives Larry what for.
Just Kids Patti's Smith's memoir about her time in NYC with Robert Maplethorpe is so well crafted that I'm able to handle all the hippie stuff/attitude. Smith has always been one of those artists that I thought I should know more about, but genuinely just haven't found the right 'in' to learn about her. I'm real late to the party with this book- it's been at the top of the best sellers list for months or somesuch.
Mexican Food.
All. The. Time.
