old journal

I started flipping through an old journal and found this:

"I woke up and waited for my phone's alarm to ring, but it never did. I grabbed my cell phone and saw I missed four text messages from a girl I didn't like, then that my alarm wasn't set and I was going to be late to class."

Funny and sad. I'm trying to remember who the girl was and what class I was late for.

All my friends in magazines got addicted to the word 'leave'

New script. It feels really nice to work on a new script, having just finished my first draft of a feature after two semesters of working on it. I know I have to come back and do rewrites, but it's nice to move onto something else, just for a bit.

I got a new notebook, which is exciting. I can write down random lines of dialogue or short stories, films, songs, poems that inspire me. Example:

What We Talk About When We Talk About Love by Raymond Carver
parts of The Crossing by Cormac McCarthy, mainly the part where they find the girl
Quiet City by Aaron Katz, but not too much
Pierrot Le Fou by Jean-Luc Goddard (I need to get this back from Kyle)
Love Poem by Richard Brautigan
Raymond Chandler in general
"Real Love" by Beach House
"Feather" by Little Dragon
past relationships (danger, careful)

Did you ever get sad on your bed late at night crying, listening to Either/Or?

CM: Writing songs is like walking in the woods and then a bear jumps out and attacks you.

LATER:


NJ: There seems to be a lot going on in the song "Raytrancer".

CM: There were a lot of bears that day.
