ooh!
Discovered to my shock and delight there is a new book about Fortuny, one of my favorite designers of all time. This is only the 2nd book I've ever heard of as he is pretty obscure. Simply HAD to order, dahling...
Otherwise cranky and "off". Damn the weather, and damn the caffiene that I have to swill to keep warm/concious in it.
Looking through my neverending stack of books that I am eager to read if I ever get to them all. I'm about to finish a very carefully researched and unusual book about alien abduction - unusual because the author is neither a rabid "believer" nor a rabid "debunker" - its good to know critical thinking still survives in some capacity.
After I finish it, I have a long list of rave/techno/electronic music history books to browse through. I am looking forward to reading them, but the idea of raving seems so completely out of step now... things were so SIMPLE then; the biggest thing to worry about was whether the party would get busted or not. Since 9/11 there are far more important things to worry about. In a way the romance of dancing all night just seems futile in the face of it all, which is really sad because I still LOVE to get out and moooooove when the music hits me right. I guess raving does have its place, if only to let go for a few hours in a time when its very important to just let go occasionally.
Hmm... maybe raving will be the USO shows of the 21st century.
That WOULD be incredibly amusing. And moving, in a way.
