Flowings of Your Everlasting Taffyman

most bloggers are A)like me, and just complain when they got something to rant about or B) are actual writers.... and i like both, i mean both have their place... but i wish i were more like B...

I bought this movie called Stage Beauty cuz a preview once impressed me.
its about a male actor way back when, in London who plays women's roles during the time when they change it over and finally allow women on stage. In the movie, his faithful dresser girl becomes a big star, and he has to deal with his ego and other things watching her become famous, while he becomes considered useless...
The movie is good for like 5 reasons... (im really glad i got it)
1: historical stuff, that is rarely talked about,
2: gender, sex, love, equality, socialization
3: the acting is really good... (clare danes and Billy Crudup-both of whom i have liked in many things.... but I think it is one of Clare's best performances...-they even fake accents rather well)
4: the script is funny and entertaining.
5: they do that whole, drama causes people to grow both as people and in their profession thing... personal revelations, and things like friendship/love win out over personal struggles... but in a less cheesy way than i am making it sound.

plus billy crudup is in drag for more than half the movie...


if i had one problem with the movie it would be that clare danes character doesnt get fatter when she is a star... she is too skinny throughout the movie, but since she is very poor at the beginning it makes sense... but why wouldnt she fatten up like all the upper class women? huh? huh?

anyway, i would like to say this is for anyone, but its not... i mean others might find in entertaining, but i think the intellectual stuff is more suited to the sociology and gender studies crowd.... or people who like acting and history....

rediscovering the big wu, last night.... was pretty good, though i was trying to sleep from being all sick like...
i put on the first cd of their concert at the cedar cultural centre, and it includes an accoustic set of mostly old folk songs and such... and then a couple of my fav songs by them... including "Elani"
but if you ever want to try out a big wu, live or regular cd, i would suggest their other live (at the fitzgerald) cd if you like jam music, and maybe tracking buffalo through the bathtub (its the one i started on and its got a lot of good pop sensible but fun songs) for the less jam band cats...

live at the fitzgerald is probably my favorite live cd ever... i think... i think the chili peppers live at slane castle is my fav live dvd...

you dont care about this shit... but why not say it...


me and steve and possibly my brother or a friend or something ight go see clerks 2 tonight

the last time me and steve and james went to a comedy i believe it was team america, i think we came in late, like in the middle of a song, and all of us were about to piss our pants within like 5 minutes... which is quite weird when u come in all anxious from being late.



hmmmm mike the rock says hes gotten better at guitar... i always say im gonna do something with him musically... and i really intend to, we just never get around to it... but when he says things like that it gets me all pumped.

well as one is want to do, i am gonna go brush my teeth. and in a manner of speaking that is my way to say goodbye.
