Man, I haven't written in days.

How far behind am I? Um, six entries counting this one, which isn't behind yet, but still must be written. And I find it easier to sometimes start at then end, because I don't have to wrack my brains or anything about what the hell I was doing or thinking, or try to decipher my notes, which, though typed, can be as difficult and cryptic as my spiky handwriting is.

So yesterday I went into the office, which makes for a bit of a non-weekend, but there is filing to be done, and we all have to take our turns, even really important people like me. That was a joke, clearly.

I do like coming in on the weekend, though, as I have mentioned about a million times in the seven years (!!) that I've been at The Company That Must Be Named--it's empty, it's quiet, the phone doesn't ring, and I can play movies and barrel through my work like a motherfucker.

I managed to file away a whole box of expense reports, and could have done more had half of them not been stapled and stamped paid and things, but one whole box ain't bad.

I also watched episodes 3 & 4 of my beloved Twin Peaks twice each, both with and without commentary. It's been such a long time since I have watched any of the show but the pilot episode that it is such a special treat to see it again. When o when will Season 2 come out on DVD? My favourite character, Harold the Agoraphobic Cutie-Pie, doesn't show until Season 2! Though fortunately, he's in Fire Walk With Me, so that takes some of the edge off waiting.

The great thing about the commentary tracks are that everyone thinks David Lynch, David Lynch, David Lynch, and Lord knows I worship him, but the interview-ees really are talking more about Mark Frost than Lynch. Apparently, Frost was the real day-to-day workhorse of the series, and I'm glad he's finally getting his recognition, even if it is twelve years later.

And in addition to yesterday being a Day of Work, it was also a Day of Birthday, Bonnie Callahan's birthday, to be exact! Apparently, she is four, though how she can be four when she was just born a couple of years ago, I'll never know.

They say that time goes so fast with kids, and I've always said that it doesn't either, that every day just crawls by, and it does, except not with Bonnie. Katie is almost 14, and Molly is 6, and both of them just took forever to get this old, but Bonnie is the one flying through the years. One day I'll have blinked and she'll be my age and I won't know how it happened.

She's still the most peculiar child that I ever met, though. She seems to be getting a trifle more linear than she used to be, but it seems as though she is learning more to be in the world than she's starting to think like everyone else--like I'm dyslexic but I learned how to go around it when I was very young.

It's really hard to describe how strange she is, and I don't think that I've ever done it properly, but the impression I get is that if you could get inside her head and think her thoughts and look through her eyes, you would see a world completely unlike the one that we see. On the other hand, all of her non-sequiturs would make perfect sense!

I'm watching Ian McKellan host SNL and he just referred to Kylie Minogue as his "fave disco diva." Okay, I guess as of right now this second his image as a dignified Shakespearian actor is gone gone gone. I mean, there wasn't much left after X-Men and Lord of the Rings, but after hearing the word "fave" come out of that mouth, I can barely remember Richard III.

Until I wrote that, that is, when that astoundingly sexy image of his taking off his ring with his mouth and giving it to Lady Anne came slamming back into my head. No amount of discussion of Kylie Minogue can ever really overshadow that moment.

And I guess that line wasn't written by the show's writers either, because she's performing now with her peculiar 80's-ish David Bowie crossed with Blade Runner backup dancers, and in one shot you could see Sir Ian sitting on the ground at the side of the stage, boogying to the beat! He's practically a disco diva himself!

They never showed her from that angle but once, so I guess they weren't so much expecting him to be there.

There's Kylie again, singing another song and wearing the exact same outfit as for the first song, except that it's black instead of white. I guess that the later it is in the evening, the more evil she becomes. Or something like that.

Maybe it really is the same outfit, and she's just a filthy dirty person.

Today's horoscope:
Nature or awe-inspiring surroundings can help you achieve a sense of inner peace and serenity which will be valuable today.
