my girlfriend and i miss each other quite a bit but now we’re getting into the routine of being apart which we will happily destroy next friday when i arrive in florida. im not sure how it will all work out. but my iching said a bird in the hand is worth ten in the sky and miss pross calls lucie mannette lady bird in tale of two cities. so even when im not thinking about her the world makes me think about her. i feel like im still playing adult like i havent yet made the jump to the grown up ferry as it departs. l dunno LD relationships feel like stalling in my heart of hearts, but only because that’s all i seem to know. i travel, but not always. so it makes sense. i meet someone on tour and then come home and miss them. it’s like clockwork. this time it’s strange as she was hightailing it out of new york when we met. but life doesn’t get simpler it seems.
i managed to write two songs yesterday. one of them ive been working on for over five years. chris moses said it best, aint nothing to it but to do it. sit down at that table and just write, who cares if it sucks. we can go back. we’re not chiseling. im actually quite happy with everything. it’s weird too. almost every song is spoken in my POV. it’s a very autobiographical, like how i came to be and where i’m at now. almost like im cleansing my palette before the main course that is the last two albums. part of me doesnt want it to end. i feel like im hitting my stride. it would take a year to do four songs when we started. i will have hammered out fifteen songs by month’s end or just about. an accomplishment for me.
i did take myself to the movies yet again, as that’s all i seem to do. i may hit the museum on my day off this week if nyc isnt too crazy with the bridge and tunnel bargain brigade. i saw before the devil knows ur dead, by an 83yr old dude named sydney lumet. 83. that’s sick. and the fact that he got marisa tomei out of her clothes for most of her screen time is pretty damn impressive, as r her boobies. i can only imagine how hot she was during different world. naked i mean. the movie got me back on ethan hawke’s side, and ive been not on it since i dunno, whatever came after explorers. he was great. spiderman’s mom was great. i walked into the theater late and she was packin heat and i was like go aunt may! (even tho she should die in the comics) albert finney was in it too. cant help but always think daddy warbucks and one of my first fav rentals from blockbuster: orphans, with mathew modine and a promising kevin anderson (wha happend?) finney was great but he is old, his presence does most of the work for him. it’s really phillip seymor hoffman’s pic. i was thinking about his character and his actions long after the movie was over. he spoke words that i’ve said to myself. he’s tortured and its haunting and his breakdown is senseless as it is bloody. he’s really something to watch tho. we have some greats in our midst and he’s one of them.
i’ve been up on comics and old movies. yesterday was how green is my valley (which i had seen before) and the 1930’s showboat (now that’s racism!) as i said before im not really watching anything. just letting it play while i work. it’s nice. as we get farther away from balck and white times, i get a little sad. kids that listen to my music dont give a fug about stuff like that and i wish they would. i watched tin man (too sucky to finish and it killed my zoey crush) and then hard candy. ouchies. if ur looking for more juno action watch xmen 3. here she’s a little rough. she cuts off a dudes balls. as if her rapier’s wit didnt castrate me enough. i mean diablo’s 
.
so yeah. im gonna try to write more today. and record all of it tomorrow. we’ve got one last week to get as much done as we can. then there’s that show on friday. i think im gonna try mc chris is dead live for the first time and then a few new mixes. not in that order. i see nieces and nephew on their way to mary poppins on saturday morning. stoked for that. i’ve got all these toys for my nephew, well, little hero clix kinda things for d and d and star wars that wizards of the coast gave me. lots of art supplies for the artsy one. and the little one i dunno. i will try to figure out something for her during the week. i’ve also got family in cali and minnie to think of and my folks in virginia. i will try to hit them with the present ray post haste.
on a final note. i watched a lion in winter and it really made me want to act again. i cant wait till next yr! there wont be time for it, but id kill to just break away from life and be in a play.
if you check the message board (and please dont cuz they hate that) you’ll see the latest street team mission is to improve and add upon my wikipedia entry. if u r knowledgeable of all things mc, please do!
i will stoke the coals for christmas by removing lots of stuff this week. so download everything in the player and life’s a bitch at mcchris.com before they get replaced with newness. who’s all stoked for newness!? i am!
ps. everyone’s asking for i am legend imax review. i will do it once i can get a ticket. it’s sold out every show here in manhattan. can’t wait to see heath laugh. hope he rules, every fan letter about it has been raving. almost in a lunatic fashion. why so serious?
