Peachy

the long, winding journey of sleep - the darkening that embraces all in the end...
okay, I'm just writing this to get my brain flowing. I slept for a good number of hours for the first time in a long time last night - felt good. I must have been a real bastard in a previous existence to warrant my working retail during the holidays...

Finished the Sopranos this week - I don't know why there was such a backlash about the ending when it aired - I thought the finale was amazing. I'll probably write about it eventually, just to put down what my thoughts on it were - if for no other reason than to work it out for myself. Also, watched Martine Scorsese's The Departed last night, 2nd time I've seen it since seeing it in the theatre. The blurb on the front of the box is 'Scorsese's best film since Goodfellas' and frankly, I'd have to agree (although I haven't seen everything he's done since then. Gangs of New York comes to mind as one I definitely did not see, although me thinks I shall remedy that soon). Great use of music, as always, to compel and capture the different era's.

The nights have been colder lately, and it feels good, although now I have this stupid cough.

Ministry announced their final tour recently, with their 'final' show being in Chicago in May. If I could sell a couple scripts by then I'd fly home for that one in a heart beat, to see it end where it all began...

I miss industrial music. But alas, it would appear it finished its course some time ago, with all the current stuff I've heard (if there's something out there, someone let me know) being more concerned with perpetuating what the original bands sounded like. Everything good has evolved the form until it has become something else, which of course is the natural order of true evolution.
