v for isolated...

All alone. Having just got the memo that I have no friends I am spending this night waiting for Germanio Anno Zero (1947) to play on TCM at 2:00AM [T-minus 1 hour and 20 minutes]. It's considered one of Roberto Rossellini's best films and I have never seen it before. I've been wanting to see it for quite some time [and satifsy my need for seeing true neo-realism in it's early and best form] so now I finally get a chance to see it. On a related note I am a little sad that I didn't get a chance to see Double Indemnity at the American Film Institute tonight but I had to stay at work and finish writing the schedule for next week. However I will get my one and only chance to see it next Wednesday. Drop me a line if you are in the area and want to see one of the best movies ever made.

Continuing on the topic, I went to see V for Vendetta this evening with the only person who currently can be identified as a pal o' mine...it was a very interesting movie. Basically it's your typical revolutionary film with a futuristic dystopian Orwell-esque Great Britain. Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman were both really good [I mean...a lot better than your contemporary big budget actors] but unfortunately the script was wholly unoriginal [I mean...exactly like your contemporary big budget film].

Oh dear...I have such an interesting week coming up. On Sunday right after work I am going to see Motion City Soundtrack at the 930 Club then I'm closing on Monday and Tuesday night. Then on Wednesday after work I am going to see Double Indemnity. On Thursday morning [bright and early] I'm going for an apherisis process to donate white blood cells...later on in the same day I am going to donate a pint of blood...then I am going to the Birchmere to see Jenny Lewis & The Watson Twins [probably by myself]. Friday I work and directly after I am going to see Ted Leo + The Pharmacists at The Black Cat. Saturday I work and directly after that day I am going to see Jamie Cullum at the 930 Club. I'm going to be so tired it's ridiculous.

jenny lewis, will you marry me?

Oh yea, and I promise I'll "blog" those spam mail "jokes" tomorrow...right now it's T-minus 1 hour and I have to make sure that my VCR is set just in case I [when i do, that is] fall asleep before the movie is over.

It's strange. I feel like a complete and total loser right now [or as Beck would say soy un perdedor] and it's about 98% certain to be true but I felt so great 12 hours ago when someone a pair of tickets or $25 to a $40 sold out concert. My life is composed of several crescendos that never quite peak but have tremendous d'enouements. Keep the music rolling.
