Mid Day Miso
Nov. 26th, 2008 12:54 pmThoughts jotted because there's not a lot of time
(hey, it's cheap ass Twitter)
**************
Per NPR's Morning Edition, 26 Nov:
The New York Mets will be moving to a new ballpark next spring. Corporate naming rights to the ballpark were sold to Citigroup. Back in better times, the giant bank agreed to pay $400 million over 20 years to call it Citi Field. Now the federal government is bailing out Citigroup. So two New York City Council members are proposing to rename the ballpark: Citi/Taxpayer Field.
Slumdog Millionaire coming to the Varsity 19 Dec. Charles Dickens meets 21st century India.
And any opinions on Synecdoche, New York? Any opinions on the writer's other works, Being John Malkovich or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Adaption?
And more from Phillp Seymour Hoffman on the role
One listener's comment at NPR: "I'm sold. This sounds incredibly chaotic in the good, kind of, psychotic-comfort-food-for-the-mind way."
***************
Notes. I've got all these paper notebook pages. Notes for my final stupid essay. Notes for the procedure manual at work. I think notes must be the biggest horror in writing: stacks of notes give me a gut feeling of unease. You have all these thoughts piling up, twisting up, ganging up on you. And I get to untangle them in the next few hours.
And that's just for the rough draft.
But I get to spend the day...writing. Process writing...but it does make me feel so relaxed. Or at least, deep into myself.
Which means I'll have to keep a close eye on the clock. Clocks lose me when I write.

Back to work and jazz and quesadilla.
