STANDING IN THE M’s AT HMV

5-8-01 1:37 p.m.

-Standing in HMV, headphones on, looking at four screens playing The Virgin Suicides.

-Finishing coffee drink before returning to office.
Feeling guilty about supporting Coffee Giant.
Now stealthily incognito; posing as a DJ (one earphonestyle).

-Thinking of Stella McCartney and Sofia Coppola, and more briefly Chloe Sevigny.

-Listening to Beck's contribution to Mulin Rouge soundtrack. Not liking it.

-Thinking Nicole Kidman has been in a couple of weird movies. And listening to her contribution to the Mulin Rouge soundtrack. Haven't ascertained whether or not she can sing. Forgetting to listen. Beginning to think about Kirsten Dunst.

-Wondering if the Virgin Suicides was a true story.

-Thinking, Kirsten Dunst and Tom Cruise: Yuck.

-Realizing that compensating for the fact that sugar does not dissolve quickly in iced coffee drink by adding twice the amount of sugar is a shit ass solution.

-Feeling Linda McCartney’s death is one of the saddest things I know.

-Concluding that best track on Mulin Rouge soundtrack
is by Rufus Wainwright. He sings in French. He is
Canadian I will nickname my cat Rufus Wainwright when I get home tonight.

-Remembering that I read this morning that Jackie O.
was a Francophile, Dylan was very calculating about his success, and there is a Wings movie upcoming on Network television. Its About Fucking Time!

-Thinking Kirsten Dunst and the Host for Survivor have the same parenthetical smile. And Ewan McGregor and Kirsten Dunst have the same teeth. Ewan McGregor also sings on the Mulin Rouge Soundtrack.

-Wondering if anyone besides Bryant Gumble shed tears for the 1st contestant voted out of the Outback this year. Nicole Kidman is Australian.

-Now drinking Iced sugar grains with green straw; extra long. Listening to Destiny's Child.
Involuntarily loud, but not unhappily so.

-Going to buy a Rufus Wainwright CD tomorrow and stand in the W’s at the HMV.

-Realizing that you don’t notice a TV is red tinted or blue or green tinted, until you see a bank of TV’s all in row. Like at the TV store. Then you begin to see
red tinted TVs and blue and green tinted TVs Then
one TV is blank and its like a knocked out tooth.
