Stalkers

You're not a stalker, are you?
You're the one who talked to me, remember?
That's the oldest trick in the stalker book.
Really? There's a stalker book? I gotta read that one.

So what are you proposing?

Done with fish

Susan Orlean: I guess I'd just like to know how you can detach yourself from something that you've invested so much of your soul in. I mean, didn't you ever miss turtles? The only thing that made your 10-year-old life worth living?
John Laroche: Look, I'll tell you a story, all right? I once fell deeply, you know, profoundly in love with tropical fish. Had 60 fish tanks in my house. I skin dived to find just the right ones. Anisotremus virginicus, Holdacanthus ciliaris, Chaetodon capistratus. You name it. Then one day I say, "f--- fish". I renounce fish. I vow never to set foot in that ocean again. That's how much "f--- fish"...That was 17 years ago. And I have never since stuck so much as a toe in that ocean. And I love the ocean.

Susan Orlean: But why?

John Laroche: Done with fish.

Susan Orlean (VO): If you really loved something. Wouldn't a little bit of it linger? Evidently, Laroche's finishes were downright and absolute. He just moved on. I sometimes wished I could do the same.

Done with fish!

Falling in love with you all over again

I even be fantasizing about walking out on a green light just dying to get hit by a car just so I could lose my memory, get transported to some 3rd world country just to get treated, and then somehow meet up again with you so I could fall in love with you in a different language and see if it still feels the same.

Pardon My French

It's only taken me two years, but I've finally got it. The original title (Like Me - A Commentary) was always a working title. It was shortened to Commentary, but it never felt right. I was doing some valuable wikipedia research on Paris and France and French people and things and came across the phrase Pardon My French.

Perfect.

Remember when Costanza said that he tried to get a girl by telling her that he coined that phrase?

Now I'm back in it. I've got the story and the characters and everything in my head. I can't get it out. Thank you.

I'm listening to a free podcast by Hollywood Saloon titled Art of Commentary.

The End of History

I only heard about this guy because I'm cheap. I always take advantage of the free downloads on iTunes, because songs are expensive. And I don't know what I like. So this is how I came across Fionn Regan.

Now I can't get enough. He is the product of one of my favorite album covers.

He also has one of the best YouTube music videos ever made.

Congratulations, FR.
