inconvenient crushes
Jan. 30th, 2015 04:44 pm- So a few coworkers and I went to a Patti Smith concert here in LA last night, which was more awesome than I can adequately state. Man, that woman is inspiringly amazing and a gift of incalculable awesomeness. I mean she's my my mom's age (a year older) and she's a grandma and has long grey hair and was out there pelting punk rock songs like only she can. I guess aged rock stars are no big thing really, but she's one of a kind!
- But the amusing part was when she went on for a few minutes about how she was dedicating a song to David Tennant because she was hoping he'd call her and how she'd been recently watching Doctor Who but he hadn't yet called her. HILARIOUS. I was like, "We've all been there, Patti, with the inconvenient David Tennant crush."
- From a distance, one of her on stage band members looked like BOB from Twin Peaks which reminded me that I had just recently finished rewatching Twin Peaks and I wanted to talk about it. I'd forgotten just how creepy and disturbing that show was! And just how wacked out a town Twin Peaks was. And how they constructed the character of Laura Palmer in absentia. But mostly I was thrown back to my teenaged In Love With Special Agent Cooper and Audrey Horne high school self. I spent a few days lamenting my lack of sweaters and skirts to wear and craving damn fine coffee and cherry pie and laughing over what Agent Cooper's hair does when he wakes up from a crazy dream to call his boyfriend Sherrif Truman.
- My log has something to say. I'll interpret for you. Why in heavens would anyone ever go into the woods surrounding Twin Peaks?? At one point, Major Briggs is like "I'm going to go for a walk in the woods to clear my head," and then is kidnapped by Windom Earle, and this is after he was already abducted by forest aliens from his camping trip with Special Agent Dale Cooper. Also Agent Cooper is all like I love this place! I'm going to buy a place in the woods and live there! What? Albert Rosenfeld disapproves! THE OWLS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM! These are not your Harry Potter owls.
-Too bad the second season went so far off the rails into where even owls fear to tread but not all of the second season was bad, if not least of which because it gave us David Duchovney's performance as Dennis/Denise, DEA agent in drag. I'm tempted to say it's my favorite thing he's ever done, even more than all 9 years of The X-Files. I actually finally finished my X-Files rewatch a month or so ago. My overwhelming love for Mulder and Scully is too great for me to pithily remark on here, but let's just say the MSR feels are still going strong.
- Which, leads me to today when I nearly choked on my own saliva as I noticed a banner at my local Barnes and Nobles informing me that David Duchovney will be there mid Feb for a reading and signing. Hah!
