2001
I didn't really want to write to you, but there's nothing to do fun but write to you, and now, I've finally hammered up something to say... I'm sitting here waiting for the sattellite dish guy (yes momma, I'm gettin me a sat light dish) - you know - the kind of waiting where it's any time from 12-5 on Friday and it's 2pm and you've already checked the door twice for that sticker that say's you've missed him/her? Oh, so it's sort of enforced, stay at home time. I've taken off work to do this for mark - and my excuse was that I suddenly had to pick up mark's mother from the airport (oh the guilt)...
So anyway, I've thought of two things to say. One, I love the Interview magazine with Bjork on the cover. It's splendid. She even reminded me of a word I'd forgotten "clumsy"... as in "I suppose I've got a clumsy answer to that....". Lovely.
Two. My god, all I'm doing "style-wise" is taking current styles and mimicing the 40's mod. with a bit of a beautiful NOW-ism (as in current style - something that couldn't be anything but 2001). Lord, where am I going with this? Whew! Well, what I meant to say was that I wish fashion would go ahead and give me SLIGHT modifications of audrey hepburn's clothes with modern conveniences (spandex, new fabric, colors, etc...) AND QUIT dicking me around here. I want better clothes! (but of course this is my lament with all architecture and life... you honestly can't go home again). Anyway, to be perfectly honest, the only thing I liked about "Breakfast with Tiffany's" is the fashion and eye-candy. That movie was a simpy blah puffball of a magical film. Maybe I saw it tooo late.
The third thing is that I was reading the paper and saw the most beautiful quote in the paper. I mean, it was about K-Pax: I wouldn't even have READ it were I not awaiting the satlite dish guy's appearance! What a great article. It made me feel like my dream salon of "with it" but different people could be a reality. JEFF BRIDGES (who is my husband's celebrity imposter - much like, our firstcat, "Pads" 's celebrity imposter is a Korat breed - get it? she's actually just a pretty steet kitty from the pound - although she acts and seems - and this is just a very universal thing with padz. She IS special. Although Mark in contrast merely slightly physically resembles Jeff Bridges. ha ha anyway...) Jeff Bridges said the most amazing thing about Kevin Spacey. It's "ahhhhhhh". OK, here it is and then I'll let you alone for the day and start watching television and quit resisting its pull....
OH, I almost forgot to tell you the best part. It's so odd to juxtapose this article with the only thing I've ever heard about Kevin Spacey. Let me susplain what kind of gossip I'm about to spill about Mr. Kevin Spacey. This is industry gossip from Wilmington, NC (the fifth largest filmmaking center IN THE COUNTRY). It's the kind where the guy was ON THE SET where the gossip originated. Yes, this is SOURCE gossip (analogous to the source of an urban myth perhaps - or as the german's say "vielleicht" - I'm a german minor didja know?). So (not that I GIVE A SHIT AT ALL about what this implicates about kevin spacey. I don't play that game. i think he's a person that I don't know but who seems like he could be a neat guy for my salon. this is just a really bizarre image of him to me. Oh, once heard, you can't ever forget it.) Actually this, is Chicago industry gossip (we were on an Ang Lee film in Missouri - the only one that flopped) fourth largest center of filmmaking IN THE COUNTRY. So Schroeder is telling us stories. We've covered JFK and now everyone's buzzed a bit and into it. A movie Kevin Spacey was in came up, and Schroeder says. Here's one: One time in film camp,... I don't remember the set-up or backstory or anything "so the AD finally goes into his trailer and SEES the PA sucking Kevin Spacey's naked balls..... Finally after waiting for four hours standing around [editors note: this is classic film guy's elements. They ALWAYS remember details of the story dealing with how much money they're going to make - because in the film industry, that's half the magic/addiction] Kevin went home for the day. We went home. It was the last day of the week... the next day was our off day. When we came back, he was really cool and it never happened."
Anyway, here's the Jeff Bridges so lovely (makes me jealous I'm not thier friends) quote:
Jeff Bridges, who plays the psychicatrist who attempts to unravel the mystery of Mr. Spacey's identity, said working opposite Mr. Spacey is an actor's dream.
"You know when you're a little boy and you play make-believe with your friends? It always was more fun when your friends were good at pretending because it made the game more real."
