We Are the People, Empire of the Sun
Loving this song:
Picnic At Hanging Rock
This is one of my favorite films. So haunting and strange. I don't really know what it means, but I can't get it out of my head. Rachel Roberts has a great part as the school's head mistress. There's also a pretty strong homoerotic undercurrent, not only between the female characters, but between two young male characters as well. Whether this was intended or not, it's there.
The WANT List
Item: a walkin shower
This would be fab! I am not a bath person, and tubs with showers in them are so cumbersome. Plus, think of the party you could have in this! I'd prefer something a bit more Mediterranean flavored, but this is still kinda awesome.

Casting Rick
The character of Rick in Jasper Lane is the hardest for me, simply because he is the most like me. How do you cast yourself? Here's what I came up with:
Peter Paige (adorable!)
or Chad Allen?

Music Review: David Berkeley, "Strange Light"
My favorite music "find" of the year is an introspective songwriter named David Berkeley. I heard the song "Hurricane" on The Loft and did some research on a little thing I like to call The Interweb. I received his newest collection Strange Light this fall and the reflective nature of the songs and the instrumentation fit the season beautifully. (Y'all know I have a thing for autumnal music.) His voice is a difficult thing to pin down in terms of comparison. Certain songs sound eerily like...
Tuesday's Song
On this day in 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald and all her crew disappeared in a storm on Lake Superior.

Casting Vera
On my Wish List for the elegant and devestating Vera in a filmed version of Jasper Lane?
The Lady Chablis
or CCH Pounder? (a great actress)
I was also thinking that Bebe Zahara Benet would be pretty awesome, though she's a bit young for the part.
