almost famous

so much passes through this head from the background tv that is on now more than ever since jackson moved away as the sound keeps me company and occasionally there is something on i actually want to watch and so the football and the repeats of ncis and all the sci-fi shows and so much more amuses me and keeps me company but tonight, i realized that i have forgotten (not anymore, cuz i just remembered, at least one part) how much some films move me, inspire me, and are a part of my favoritest experiences in this life (when shared with someone or even just a film powerful enough to move me and be something i very much want to share with someone) and this is one...

besides, it has four of my favorite faces in it and three of libbo's favorite fantasies (of course i don't love it just for that superficial reason, but oh, if i could have only been there with them in some alternate reality where we were all friends and meant something to eat other and comfort and care for each other and... ok, you get the picture, whatever that picture might be in your mind... wouldn't you love to know what is really in mine lol... just have to climb under the covers for long enough to figure out how to show me you really want to know :)

the trouble is, tv ruins film... tv edits to fit allotted time... tv edits for content... tv edits to fit the screen... tv changes the story, the meanings, the power of film... tv destroys film... but we won't get into that for this moment and attempt to maintain the magic...

what?... yes, i refer to almost famous and the kid who reminds me of what's his name from sliders, i think and frances mcdormand who chooses some of the most interesting films in her career, and kate hudson, anna paquin, zooey deschanel (libbo refers to the last three faces each appearing in the top ten of the all-time libbo faces at one time or another and perhaps the highest rated libbo face film in the history of filmaking, perhaps... you'll just have to get under the covers to find out how much i am laughing with you and how much i am laughing at myself and how much i am laughing at the world {you?... that's up to you} that will never understand me... anyway, what was this about?)...

we must remember this...

remembering the days people actually waited at the airport right by the gate for someone to actually leave on a jet plane as in watching the plane taxi away from the gate, waving at the person as they look back at you through the tiny window on the plane, and then watching the plane gather speed down the runway and take off into the air...

remembering when dreams were shared...

remembering always...

the voice

ok, i am biased, but i have adored dia frampton since before she was legal when i saw her grinning like a kid in a candy store at warped tour after knocking out a set of rock and roll that had such a unique twist the crowds surrounded the myspace tent to try to see who was making those beautiful sounds... and now, as if i was clairvoyant (or just lucky to be in the right place at the right time), i am watching dia in the finals on the voice, a commercially packaged singing contest that has some great talent and i am torn...

leave meg and dia behind?...

a few years ago i told dia she needs to be ready to shoot the moon, to be touched by an angel, to skyrocket to fame (or shyrocket, to be dia and play with words) and i hoped she'd be ready, that she would not let fear or insecurity or self-doubt get in her way... and that she would find a way to stay in touch with her roots, to not let fame shake her from her core...

the moment is approaching fast...

there will be no losers on this show, but winning will be the zoom, the moment... will she be torn away from her family and friends and how will that affect her?... will she be sucked into the adoration and usery that has abused and destroyed so many?... please no... i wish with all my heart that she finds an anchor, a link to herself that cannot be broken... a way to not get hurt... it is not too late (i won't believe it, even after all the experiences)...

all this from background tv?...

lol, lam, laa...

go dia :)

harry's law

lol... yeah, lol... not that the show is funny, though it seems to have some decent quirk possibilities, but more cuz i was just (earlier tonight and a few times in the past week or so) thinking about how i've not really had much to say about the background tv lately and here i am inspired to write a few words (and smile a sappy smile a shed an emo tear) by a show i accidently tuned into as i was looking for something to disctract myself from an achy neck and body discomfort that was keeping me awake when i should be asleep but what really has me awake is wanting to write/share more cuz it's been a while, too long a while, since i gave myself some time to take care of myself and the truly personally importantly meaningful things in my heart and mind (not to mention babbling and creativity) and wouldn't you know, that is pretty much what harry's law seems to be trying to be all about (with the usual poetic license)...

also enjoyed fringe tonight...

and wow, dying changes everything episode of house, ever see it?...

monday night crisis

there used to be heroes on mondays opposite other shows i liked so i have not watched heroes in a couple of seasons, but at the moment the listings for this week do not show the monday night crisis of television that i seem to recall (can we get any more ambivalently dramatic?... whistful must be next, no doubt)... as it stands, there's the closer and rizzoli & ilses which jackson really likes, so that's what we watch cuz even though the lead character in the closer has a personality i would aboid like the plague in real life, i like to share shows and am learning to enjoy the storylines and rizzoli & isles is one i might watch on my own, say in one of the the reruns lists (what?... no sci-fi on mondays?... there was, i swear, and it was why i stopped watching heroes once upon a time... or wait, maybe that was 24... and there is monday night football know and then, cha know... my aged swiss cheese memory is so much fun :)

there is lie to me which i used to watch now and then and i would like to catch in reruns, so there's a bit of crisis for us... stay tuned for the next episode of the monday night crisises, aye? (snarf :)
